Oh no. I'm so sad and so sorry. So sorry especially that we can't be with her, even virtually, to tell her we love her and say goodbye. Fuck cancer.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Goddamnit.
I think Ginger was the first person to send me presents under the Buffista secret santa exchange. Which makes me feel guilty for not signing up this year.
She's so great, and nobody fucking deserves this.
Ginger, I know you can't read this, but: give ita a big-ass hug when you see her, 'kay?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's feeling like we're going to lose one of the true grownups I know, at least to me. I'm not just fond of her, I respect the hell out of her, and I would take seriously any advice she gave me.
I know. I was trying to describe her to a friend and was saying things like, "She's the least bullshitty person in the world. She always speaks with quiet, knowledgeable authority."

Well shit.

Our wings are not tired.
She's the least bullshitty person in the world.
So true.
It is nearly 2 hours after my bedtime, but I don't want to turn off the computer. I hate this. And I love all of you.

Compassionately intolerant
I echo Laura.
I should be in bed, but I'm compelled to sit here with you all.
Ginger was so matter of fact, and 100% spot on, with every solution or bit of advice she ever offered.
There were a couple of times when I asked a question about something or other, that she quietly and without fanfare just solved the problem.
Just did it.
No expectation of thanks. Just a job well done.
Such a gift in so many ways.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ginger sent me that gorgeous tea dragon art print after ltc was born. Why didn't I take a picture of the baby with it and send it to her?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Just saw. Oh damn. I was holding out just the tiniest bit of hope.
Thank you so much, Zen, for being with her this past week. I know it meant a lot to her, and it did to us. And for keeping us posted.
