I did feel a pang about it today.
I understand. The walls are filled with love and history. It was lovely when Emmett moved in after you and JZ moved, giving your family a bit of transition time.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I remember showing you, Shrift, and Sean Biodiversity: Wild About Life there in 2015. Man, that was so long ago, but it seems like yesterday.

I remember visiting that apartment as well, a couple times over the years—once in like, 2001 or some nonsense, when we went to some sort of mod party (I remember trying to find a dress and boots that worked!). Wild to be not having it any longer!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I knew you had been there a long time but I didn't realize how long! Bittersweet

I am still very very angry that JZ got so little time to make your new house her home, btw. At, like, the universe, I suppose. I don't need an object, as such, just want to make clear that it is not you.

We went to Bardot-A-Go-Go! So not just mod but French Mod.

I'm at peace with it. It would be much worse if she'd never gotten to live here or help me design the rooms. Her touch is everywhere.
I don't believe in angels or afterlife but my consoling fiction is that her guardian angel saw that her lifetime would be brief. And they arranged it so that before she died she would help create a new home, and that she would begin writing again, and she would have one more season at Faire.

I also remember staying at that apartment. There's a lot of history in that space.

My sister came down for a week so I am trying to have a normal work day and let her take care of the parents but I don't know if it's possible to overstate how much I don't care about work right now.
