I was offline for awhile. It's normal for me to take a step outside every now and again. Of course returning meant I'd have quite a few notifications. One was a message she sent me and another was a mention so I looked at the mention first, and that's how I found out.
So yeah, eventually I want to respond to that message I missed. Bugs me I wasn't there for what turned out to be her final words to me.
I now have two people that worked hard to convince me I was something more than nothing while I was here, who are no longer with us. It's never easy; never expected. Not really in a rush to get my invitation but yeah, that party, it sounds like a lot of fun.
