Thank you, Zen. Before checking here one last time and seeing the news I was doing a super gentle pre-bed yoga practice focusing on healing the heart in time of grief. Of course, I couldn't help but think of Ginger and hoping her passing would be peaceful and also hoping that she could feel us all out on the internets surrounding her.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Thank you, Zen.
When feeling small and useless, remember that being is a gift to others. Share being as you can. Embrace other's being. I'm so fucking corny, but all i got.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ah, no.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks, Zen.
And thank you, Buffistas, for once again being such a shining example of what happens when a whole community loves really, really hard.
The rest of it can go suck eggs, though.

Our wings are not tired.
In the back of my mind I was hoping for big fixable mistake. Rest in painless peace dear Ginger.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, god. This another hard loss. I'm becoming too acquainted with this in my fifties.
Of many memories and thoughts about Ginger, I'll note that she put me and Emmett up when I went to Georgia for my Dad's memorial. Got to meet Mr. Peabody and see her house and her art collection and her books. Sit in her kitchen and drink coffee with her. And she drove us out to where we needed to pick up the highway, and we all went to Waffle House for breakfast.
And I picked up the check for breakfast, such a little thing, especially after she'd put us up, and I remember that she looked so appreciative and grateful and maybe a little surprised.
I don't think she expected good things to come her way. I don't think she received her fair share of kindness in the world. I know for a fact she gave far more than she received in the world. Gave to so many of us. I wish I could have given her more.
I had so much respect for her, and love and affection.
Thank you for being there for her for us, Zen. It means a thing.
