@ericvancewalton reblogged this today.
I still think about her almost every day, especially when I'm, here. If I look back at some of my old work, there she is, exactly how I remember her. I didn't know her outside of this space very well, never met in person. Everything I knew is locked into this blockchain. All the memories I shared with her, still intact, and will remain. Oddly enough I just stumbled into and finished reading an old conversation her and I had a quite awhile ago, then I saw this post.
She's having fun up there.
Synchronicity, without a doubt!
Linnet was such a fun, humble, and special soul @nonameslefttouse. We'd been friends almost since the beginning days of Steemit. Although we never met face-to-face we always said we'd see each other at some future HiveFest. The news of her passing made me feel like someone knocked the wind out of me, it was just so sudden and completely unexpected.
I sometimes scroll through old blog posts like that too. There was nothing like those first couple of years on the platform. Whenever I revisit them it's like reliving the memories. Those were some of the most exciting years of my life, it felt like there was nothing we couldn't accomplish.
She definitely is having fun up there. We'll all meet again someday and what a HiveFest that will be.
I was offline for awhile. It's normal for me to take a step outside every now and again. Of course returning meant I'd have quite a few notifications. One was a message she sent me and another was a mention so I looked at the mention first, and that's how I found out.
So yeah, eventually I want to respond to that message I missed. Bugs me I wasn't there for what turned out to be her final words to me.
I now have two people that worked hard to convince me I was something more than nothing while I was here, who are no longer with us. It's never easy; never expected. Not really in a rush to get my invitation but yeah, that party, it sounds like a lot of fun.
