I guess it's true, only the good die young.

I guess I have to write this at some point.

kimosabi46 passed away yesterday, of leukemia. Most of us didn't even know she was sick.

Joy was one of those people that I always wanted to get to know better. On LJ, she was caring and interesting. I didn't get to hang out with her in person many times, but when I did, she always made me feel really welcome. As cliche as it may sound, she was one of those people who lit up the room. Joy was a pure soul. The world is a lesser place without her.

My deepest condolences to her friends and family, especially thorax86, the friend I met her through. I'm thinking of you.

And -- yes, I know it's cliche, but it's cliche for a reason -- remember that the time we have is short, sometimes shorter than we realize. Let someone know that you care about them. Life's too short for regrets.

Rest in peace, Joy.

Hon, I'm thinking of you and I truly wish there were more I could say.

You two had a very special friendship. I hope those memories will be a comfort to you. And when you feel like it, I hope you'll come out to margarita_fri and tell me some Joy stories and let us try to cheer you up.

*hugs*

I again see the mention of Margaritas. ;-) I posted this to Ilexx about a tradition Joy and I had:

For the last few years she and I would often go out on Mondays for Mexican and Margaritas. I never want to have Mexican food again on a Monday. Mexican and Margaritas on Monday are permanently reserved for Joy.

I will def make it out sometime on friday! Thanks!
