Remembering Boe

Remembering Boe. Sometimes, I can’t believe that she is really gone. It is really hard to mourn someone properly when you never even met her IRL. It isn’t like we got together for a ceremony, although in retrospect, I wish we sorta would had. Boe’s Garden is a chat room that we opened up as a place where we could gather together to talk about her and everyone was in there the first few days. We shared a lot of memories and stories (not to mention feelings). I guess it was an informal ceremony, I dunno. It isn’t the same. But now I am just rambling.

The main reason I wanted to post was to say that if you haven’t seen the thread because of the holidays, you should check it out. I know there are many of you that were not around when it happened and feel like you came too late. Well, you aren’t. All of the projects and ideas for remembering Boe are still active. Speaking of which…

Her scrapbook is coming along nicely. I had ideas for a while, and a want to make it. I still couldn’t do it until recently (mostly today). I am now ready to take it on and I hope that if you knew her, if she touched your life in any way, that you will be able to find the words to send in for the scrapbook. If you read the intro to the book, you will see that some pages were made by me, some by you guys. So if you are not comfortable with scrapping yourself, you can see what I have come up with when people have sent in their content to me at magicalobizuthATimmeritus.org

You will see two pages with photos that you may not recognize. Those are from a friend of Boe’s named Jennifer. She sent along two lovely poems and a ton of beautiful and candid photos for the book. I can’t stop staring at the pink layout because that photo is just so mesmerizing. I am really glad that she sent that along. I assume that you sent her to me, Froggy, and if you did, please let anyone else know that I will happily do the same for anything they want to contribute. *hugs*

I totally understand how you´re feeling Mag. I still catch myself thinking about Boe and how I´ll never have the chance to hug her.
I just saw Boe´s scrapbook at Immy. It´s beautiful. I loved the pics that her friend sent you as well. Boe look so happy in them.
I´m trying to write something to send you but everytime I try I feel this pressure in my throat and I can´t go on. Guess is still too soon for me. But anyway, I´m glad I´m talking with you about this.
*huggles*

Thank you for the scrapbook comments. I am glad you like it.

I think that everyone is feeling that “pressure” in their throats when they sit down and try to send something in. Whenever you are ready, I will be waiting for it.

Odd how we’re having the same thoughts. I sent you my file via Immy earlier tonight. I totally didn’t sign it. I just wanted a nice page for them. Feel free to add a siggy if you like… I’m not sure if you saw the page that Accio posted somewhere else on Immy the same week she passed away. It’s a beautiful page, but I couldn’t find it when I was hunting earlier tonight…

I did get the one from Accio, but that was strictly for the web since the photo is such low resolution. She may plop in a high res for the book though after talking to Froggy.

I am so sorry to hear about Odin. What a shame, private or public.

What. An. Ass.

Anyone with half a brain will figure out that this guy is looking for something to bitch about and a way to “break” the story. It wouldn’t have been sensational enough for him to just say, “was at the zoo and unfortunately an otter died v. suddenly. The staff were visibly upset and were obviously having a difficult time dealing with such an unexpected event while simultaneously dealing with their loss. The zoo employees obviously had a deep bond with their animals.” Sounds much more dramatic and interesting if you can bitch about something and dramatic is what you need to get most people interested in what you’re saying nowdays. Such a shame, especially as he’s adding insult to injury just to get himself noticed. I’d really like to tell that guy off.
