Life is short...

I just heard that skywardprodigal passed away early Friday morning. I am shocked and devastated.

I first met her when she was ebonbird on lj...She always posted wonderful photos and icons...had a brilliant eye for visual arts. We become friends when Martha was on Dr. Who...Apparently she liked my thoughts about race and British sci-fi.

I remember skywardprodigal being very intelligent...Always posting thought-provoking content (and pretty things)...Always have you thinking. I thought one day we might have a chance to talk in real life, or even meet. You put these things off because well...you don't think the person will pass on anytime soon.

We kept in touch on FB every so often...she was dipping on and offline b/c she had health issues, but not anything that would kill her. So it's a shock to me to have seen she passed...The world has lost a brilliant mind and I feel for her family so much.

Good night, and rest in peace my sister.

Same story here :) Thanks for commenting at my journal, and thanks for this post. It sounds like you knew her well. I didn't get the chance to meet her face-to-face either, but we communicated so much, it feels like we did.

Heh...Yeah I must admit sci-fi geekery has a way of bringing folks together. :) Thank you for dropping by here and for letting folks know...I would not have known otherwise.

skywardprodigal was one of a kind...I had nothing but the utmost respect for her. It's amazing to see how she touched people's lives...online and off. It's just a damn shame that she had to go now when she had so much more life to live... *smh*
