A moment of vulnerability for me...
I remember when word spread that CM passed away. Since I barely knew him, his passing didn't affect me much. But I was scratching my head when I saw the outcry of love on the forums because I could never understand how someone that most of the members here never met could have made such an impact. I wondered if it made me a bad person since I couldn't understand how anyone could be emotionally affected by the passing of someone they had never met. Did that make me a bad person? I really couldn't tell. Now I completely understand.
When I was a regular here, Sally was, hands-down, my favorite person to talk to. She was so sweet, kind, understanding, insightful, intelligent, and the list goes on. And when I began distancing myself from the forums, she was the only one who went the extra mile and emailed me to tell me she missed me being around and to make sure I was doing OK.
More to my original point, I wondered why she could care so much, considering that she had never met me in person or even heard the sound of my voice. She made me realize that now.
She was truly a special person. I'll honestly miss our interactions and will always know that she made an impact on me. RIP Sally
