(pajiban group hug)

Though I didn't know her well, I admired her style. Always sweet and kind, funny as hell when she wanted to be, and such a courageous woman in her well-fought battle against leukemia. Rest in peace, AlabamaPink.

*hug* to all of my Pajiba-land friends, many of whom were close to 'Bama, and (safe to say) all of whom were admirers like me.

For the second time since December, I am sorely reminded of how very much cancer sucks. To Amanda and Audrey--you're sorely missed, and the world is a little less fun without you.

Though it hurts to lose a friend, may it help remembering / That every door that closes in, one'll open to the other side. (thank you, Ron.)
