I just heard a blog friend has died.
I never met her, didn't even know what she looked like til today, when I found out she died and saw her photo on someone's page.
She's been following my blog and I hers for many years. I knew her as a faraway friend. Through her, I learned a lot about Australia, by touring her city through her photos, then google maps.
Canberra seems so exotic and faraway and beautiful. The pond she visited with "himself" (her husband), to get her "roo fixes" and for peace, the art festivals, the balloon festivals, the gardens, her garden, the birds she fed, bright and colorful and demanding....the ice bubbles she blew in the winters that froze in colors....
She was always positive and uplifting. Kind and left encouraging comments.
She made humans look good, better than we are, because she was better.
She volunteered for Lifeline, a suicide prevention telephone.
She was warm white light energy in a sometimes dark world.
She loved her kitties too. I bet they miss her terribly.
Sue had MS and then got a very rare aggressive cancer, but that's about all she said about it.
Elephants Child. I'm privileged to have known you even from far away.
omg I had no idea! We used to follow each other's blogs as well.. I knew she was dealing with some health concerns but oh my.. may God bless her soul
ReplyDeleteYes, bless her beautiful soul.
DeleteHow very sad. We all seem to run in the same circles. I had heard of her, but didn't follow her.
ReplyDeleteWe do seem to, we blogger people.
DeleteThat's so sad. I didn't know Elephant's Child, but she was a regular commenter on several blogs that I read. You're right. She was always positive. The world will miss her.
ReplyDeleteNeed more just like her. Her comments were warm or funny or both, never mean.
DeleteAll the things you say about Sue are quite true. She was a wonderfully kind and sympathetic person, and her online presence will be missed for a a very long time.
ReplyDeleteYes, very much missed by lots of us Andrew. I remember how much she loved her trip to Antarctica.
DeleteMay she rest in peace. I didn't follow her blog but I do know about her from the comments I have seen her make on other blogs. Thank you for sharing this, several other bloggers have as well.
ReplyDeleteI will miss her kind comments so much.
