RIP Leah
You can never really know everything about anyone. Only today I found out more Leah, and just how many different worlds loved her. It's amazing how lives inter-connect. I never knew Leah as a comics professional, I knew her as a comics customer (and a dear ren faire friend) a lover of all things Aquaman. To find out only now that she was loved by one of my favorite authors makes cherish what parts of our lives we did share, and sad to not know her better.

Unfair is the only word I can use to describe her loss. It was unfair for her to lose so many of her loved ones while alive, and unfair for those of her family who survive her to lose another.

When I spoke to her last week, she knew it was bleak. She had put her ducks and peeps and pikachus in order. I asked if there was anything I could do for her, and she asked only one thing "love her sons" . For all I didn't know of Leah, I know one thing, she loved. She loved her boys, she loved her family, and she loved her extended family that are her friends.

I'll miss sharing sushi, talking about Aquaman, and silly peep e-mails. And I'll miss her love.

And I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green.

Unfair, truly. Her passing echos my father's in so many ways, sudden and shocking- but then the words "Since I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me" seems apropos.
