Grateful

Back in 1994, I think it was, and new to the Internet, I joined a Listserv called "Vampyres."  I had no clue what I was getting into.  One hundred plus messages per day, a conflagration of discussion and debate, original fiction, interactive "virtual parties" or "VP's"...and, oh, yes, meeting folks who I would come to know and love a great deal

Sad to lose someone who had such a grand impact on your life.

It certainly is. I'm going to miss her a great deal.

I'm sure. She sounds like one of those people where you have a thought and immediately want to share it with her, only to remember she's gone. I had one of those. The cut-out hole where they were tends to linger, but I'm still so grateful to have had her at all.

I'm having a lot of moments of disbelief--not denial, quite, just not quite believing it's true. But yes, better to have known than not. This is part of life, after all.
