rest in peace, Jack

My journal is far from being a sims-only journal, but generally, it's always happy, silly, pop culture stuff I post instead of sims. Today, I'm taking the time to post something different, something I don't normally do. I'm taking the time to remember and mourn Jack Layton.

I'm so sorry, darling. I'm not familiar with who he is, true, but I do know what it feels like to see one of the people you look up to and admire pass away. ♥

[kittenmittons]

Yes, that's exactly it. It's especially sad because I think a lot of Canadians were really looking forward to seeing what he could do. Thanks, love. ♥

I know! This morning I watched the news and I saw that he died <33 R.I.P. :'( He was such a good man! =( (I know him, btw.)
And yay for canadians! *is a canadian and is proud*

[kittenmittons]

You knew him? I'm very sad for your loss on a personal level, then. It's absolutely devastating all around.

But yes, proud Canadian right here! *waves Canadian flag*

I wasn't familiar with Jack Layton before reading this letter, but I started crying somewhere in the first third of his letter and didn't stop until after I finished. He seems to have been an amazing person, one that many could aspire to emulate. Thank you for posting this. ♥

[kittenmittons]

You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the letter. He certainly was amazing and I hope many do aspire to emulate him because his ideas and optimism are too wonderful to die with him, I think.

Oh, sweetheart. ♥

He left behind a legacy in your country that will truly make the world a better place, and he will be greatly missed.

[kittenmittons]

He will. I hope his legacy lives on and his ideals are not forgotten. Thanks, love. ♥
