I originally created this blog to gather in one place all the lovely posts that were made for and about our darling tal-chan. I thought that maybe one day her family or friends might discover her Tumblr and would like to read all the wonderful (and true) things her online friends wrote about her. (Too cruel?) It broke my heart and I quickly abandoned it. Until today - what would have been her 22nd birthday.
I had planned a sort of online memorial service in her honor, where we could all get together and meet up with a set program to celebrate her memory (and get all the group crying done), in the hopes it could perhaps grant us some sense of closure. It was all organized, but due to real life shitness on my part it never came to be. Time passed, it was Christmas, and giveaways, and happy things.. Why ruin it and bring up this pain? First it was too raw, then it felt like I'd left it too long. The time never seemed right.
We all think of her sometimes, she's never far from our thoughts. Always brought to our minds, for one reason or another, sometimes the stupidest silly little things. But today we are united. We are all of us thinking of and remembering her together on this day.
So maybe it's finally a good time.
