I'm overwhelmed by all the kind wishes in comments and posts today and yesterday. Thank you.

A lot of you have said you'd do anything you could, or asked what you could do. Here's my answer:

I want you all to go to your family and friends and hug them and tell them you love them. Or if they're far away, call. I'm quite serious. Do it. It's... hard to explain, but my worldview includes the belief that every loving act increases the good in the world, and every bad act decreases it. And each of us is affected by that.

Just so you all know, I'm still around, reading your posts. It's helpful to be assured that the whole world hasn't come to a halt.

Randomly: Every time I see pandarus or lettaque, my brain skips and I think it's my name. Perhaps I'm their secret love child.

It's a beautiful advice. I'll do it. And I want to hug you too, because you are a wonderful person.

Just wanted to let you know I've done exactly that just now - told three people I love them.

And another long-distance hug to you.

I still remain sorry for your loss and want you to know that I understand how you feel, having recently lost several family members. Rest assured that there is love here for you and your departed.

I do that a lot, but thanks for the reminder. It's an important one at that.

I've hugged my family. I've also posted a story for you, "Everything Possible," at my fic journal, vlvteenthestral, and over at weasleyworship. It's not terribly long, and I hope you'll enjoy it, whenever you choose to read it.

*hugs*
