By now, most of you know about rocky01’s death. I honestly thought he would survive all of his health crises…
The interaction between John and I before his illnesses hit was difficult at best, and there was little opportunity to mend things once he fell sick. All I can really say is that the world is a dimmer place without him. I feel I was unable to convince him of that…
Other folks can offer a better tribute than I and are doing so all over LJ, so I will leave it at that.
Travel swiftly, John.

What is news on the ending front is Amy Crowder. I don’t know who on my list would actually know her. She was a bespoke-corset-maker. (Her website is here, with updates only a week or so old… She is the redhead…) She had returned to KCMO a year or so ago – I think from NYC… I have no idea what happened; I just know that her Facebook wall is filling up with remembrances and RIPs.
She was a tightlacer. She was brilliant. I only interacted with her a handful of times. I wish I had worked harder to increase that number. I hate that the fetish community just lost one of few remaining artisans. I hate that…

With both John and Amy, I think gone in the same day, I am once more thinking about the weirdness of online interaction and relationships. I have a growing number of dead people on my LJ list and now on Facebook, too. It seems a fitting monument in some ways, but it also seems a bit creepy. I mean, do we ever actually get to end…? It all makes me wonder about including account deletion in my will…
