a loss

[vaznetti]

I just saw, in pauraque's journal, the very sad news that rozarka today succumbed to her cancer. It's an indescribable loss. I've known her since XF fandom, and she was such a wonderful, generous, sympathetic person as well as a talented author.

I don't really know what else to say: may her memory be for a blessing. But right now it just feels like ash in my mouth.

It’s devastating news. I’d been hoping for the best, while fearing the worst. I’m really going to miss her.

[k2daisy]

Me too. I think about her and Bardsmaid a lot. It was such a wonderful time in fandom then, when we really got to talk and know each other well. People you never met became such good friends. She was wonderful in so many ways.

[pauraque]

After Bardsmaid passed, R often talked about how lucky she felt to have known such an exceptional person. I told R that I felt the same way about her, and I'm very glad now that I had the chance to say that.

[vaznetti]

That's a lovely sentiment and I'm so glad she heard it from you.

I think I'm still in shock, a little.

[vaznetti]

Yes, I don't think we realised how special that time was. There are times when I still think of something and want to share it with Bardsmaid, and now I guess the same will happen with rozarka.

[muridae]

Yes, I've been thinking of Bardsmaid as well since I heard the news about rozarka. Both gone much too soon, and both with conversations I'd like to continue or stories that I'd like to read/re-read and then talk to them about.

[vaznetti]

Me too. I always thought we would get to meet in person one day.

*hugs* I'm so sorry.
