On a day when we're all remembering, I just wanted to do something I never do - a re-post. This is what I wrote 364 days ago when I finally got my head around the fact that my friend was gone.
Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye

Year Two, Y'all
So, in the next few days, we'll be announcing the kickoff of Cannonball Read 2.0 over on Pajiba. My main goal is to get a LOT more committed participants involved. We want you to read! And have your reviews posted on the site! And become more literate and enlightened bitches and hos!
We're also doing this for Amanda. (Yes, I totally played that card.)
Stay tuned, kiddos. And start eyeing up that TBR pile you have hidden under the bed, in a cupboard, behind the terlet, wherever.

Say goodnight, not goodbye.
On a blog about books, I'd like to tell you a story.
Once, there was a fierce warrior queen. She was a slayer of zombies, a mother, a wife, a reader, and a friend. Her wit, humor, strength and courage as she battled cancer with a sword in one hand and a book in the other were not to be underestimated, and her battle was heroic. She laughed in the face of Doom and spit in the eye of Pessimism while balancing her laptop on her knee and turning another page with her finger. She loved her family and supported her friends and made the world a better and smaller place with her fire and words, and she lived, lived, lived.
One day, at long last and yet far, far too soon, the sword grew too heavy and it was time for her to lay it down. She will be remembered in countless hearts and minds for decades to come, and her name is written in the stars. She didn't lose her battle. She won the war.
Godspeed, Alabamapink. Thank you for being my friend.
