For Dewey
Posted by: LizzieI wanted to participate in Wordless Wednesday today, and I wanted to post this picture, but I couldn’t post it without words. For one, it’s been a year since I lost her. Yes, I lost her. I lost my friend. I lost my hippie, knitting, reading, natural parenting, red wine drinking, French-speaking friend. I lost Dewey, a leader in the book blogging community and a leader in my own circle of friends. She was the glue that held many internet communities together. We all miss her and I bet she’s laughing her ass of because she didn’t know she would be so badly missed.
YOU SUCK, DEWEY!!
Just kidding–you know I love you more than anything. And here’s a picture of my “nightstand”. One cannot have a normal piece of furniture in our house without a book of some sort on top (or an orchid). That’s just the way it is. And I’m sure you can relate. Ten points to the person who can name even one book from this picture.

I know I don’t know you, but I have this intense wish that I could just hug you right now. The result of shared grief. My heart is aching for you so much right now, as I can easily see from this post and the one a few days ago how very much you loved Dewey. She was impossible not to love, wasn’t she? I never met her face to face, and yet she was one of the very best friends I’ve ever had. Thanks so much for your beautiful words.

I hope you won’t mind one more comment from a random stranger – I found your blog via Debi’s and like her I’d like to send a hug your way. I miss Dewey a lot too
