Superman

[methleigh]

So, my friend Andrew passed away this week. It was very sudden and utterly unexpected with no foreshadowing whatsoever. I still don't know how this is possible in this world. He was super smart, super fun, super warm, super hard-working, super easy-going, super inclusive, super giving, super everything. In short, he was superman

I'm so sorry for your loss. The universe is so cruel sometimes.

*hugs*

Thank you so much. I still can't really believe it is possible. Not Andrew. Thank you so much for reading.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. :( It sounds like he was an amazing and inspiring person.

He was wonderful. I don't know what the children will do without him. He was there when they were born and ever since. I don't know what the city will do without him.

I am so sorry, most beloved :-(

*very tender robed embrace*

Thank you, dear Logos. I wish so much I had a non-aerthereal robed embrace. And Little Sevvie does, too. *sniffles, even if it is almost impossible to believe it*

I love faeries. It's difficult to live as a certain kind of person and faeries make it seem like it is actually easy when you are near them. I can't imagine the dimensions of your loss. Please stay with the rest of us in your heart as you grieve. I am worried about your devastation. It is a huge miracle to have someone like him in your life and for him to be gone from you is too much. We are all still here and reading.

Well, when people got together it was always Andrew to whom I would go to hug him first, and maybe only him, really, usually, except for a couple of other people. And I only really met any of the people because of him (oh over a decade ago when one of the boys was a tot and my favourite child wouldn't even be born for years.) I met him on LJ actually when someone with whom I later fell out had a meme about 'who should be your LJ friend from my friends list' and he picked Andrew when I answered. We were faeries. We did cosplay and sword fighting. We were pirates. We had puppets. We made wine. We played games. We had singsongs. We made altars and had ceremonies. We stayed up all night and celebrated the seasons. We had so much food, so many festivals. *sniffles*

Thank you for being here and reading and especially for knowing I need to hear that. Not that many people know me, but it feels like you do.

And as you like octopi, I really really really want Little Holmes to come immediately. Yesterday, preferably.
