The Blog "As I Knew Her"

I wanted to take a moment to say that I am taking down the link to the site "As I Knew Her." The name has been taken over by someone else, but the writer of this loving and beautiful grief tribute from one sister to another is no longer the owner. I've known this for awhile, but the removal of the link has been harder than expected. It, too, is a kind of passing. This time a fitting one.

Some of you who read my words, I believe, came to the site through "As I Knew Her." I can tell you that I have come to know this writer, miss her words, and wish to thank her publicly for the difference she has made by sharing her sorrow and her insights with all of us lucky enough to have read her words. And through her words, we've been lucky enough to know her sister.

If not for her, I don't think I would have had the courage to keep writing this blog once begun or to return to the writing as I recently have. There was comfort knowing she was one link away. For a time, the sisterhood of grief.

I could not remove the link without acknowledging "As I Knew Her" and the gift, meant from one sister to another, that impacted me so personally as well.
