news in type

[charlz_lynn]

My heart if so full right now... So many people, such a huge community, effected by this beautiful badass woman.
In a dream, I got to hug Sossity, and tell her that my heart was with her. I didn't realize that that was, actually, right about when it was happening.
It's so strange, to learn things on livejournal. Or in emails. Or friendster bulletins, Or whatever other impersonal-font-type-form things can take. To feel so connected to this thing that is larger than any one of us can ever be, even when so isolated by other things bigger than us.
I was not very close to Heather, but feel honored to have known her even the little bit that I did. Honored to have worn a shirt for her once, honored to have been made to blush. And in my heart, I am happy that, in the end, she was able to choose her own conditions, however much sadness is produced by it. I could see it no other way.

It's funny--I never even met Heather (although I always felt like I knew her, thanks to our mutual friends), but my heart has been aching for her (and the community) since I heard the news yesterday. I'm so sad, but I'm thankful that her long, brutal fight has come to an end and that she was able to have some control over the situation. She was an amazingly dynamic and powerful woman and she will be missed....
