Farewell, Jordan

Posted on 2007.09.05 at 08:15

I walked this morning's mile thinking of

isis_uf told me in a comment last night that she was almost certainly reading "Harry Potter and the Unbreakable Bond," and, while I know that it was far from the most pressing thing on Jordan's mind, I find myself terribly terribly saddened that she died before finishing it, and that that is partly because I've been lazy. Remember when I was pushing out a chapter a week? Yeah, me, too.

*massive hugs*

Jon, you are so seriously one of my favorite people in the world. Your "video walk posts" are part of the best things of my morning at work. I watch you and sip my Diet Dr. Pepper and chuckle at you or sometimes find tears at the back of my eyes and sometimes find that I'm so envious of those people who you know *really* well. You're an amazing man and I hope everyone in your life knows it.

You are far too kind to me, babe. You really are.

Such lovely thoughts. Somewhere, Jo is smiling and blushing at the outpouring of support for her. I actually first met Jo because of a story I was writing (and like you have not yet finished). She bugged me on a regular basis to write more and for her sake I wish I had, but I'm comforted by the fact that I'd told her the rest of the story verbally, though I've still not written it. Instead of being sad that she's not had the chance to read the ending, try to remember that she loved a good story and at least had the joy of reading the beginning.

Thanks so much for that kindness. I can't tell you how much it means to me. You bear so much greater a burden of loss than I, I appreciate your thoughts and support.
