And when a family/community loses a member, one of the social functions of having a funeral is for the friends and family to get together, maybe people that haven’t conversed or been very close for a long time, and catch up on each others’ lives. It’s too bad that it takes a death to bring people together, and maybe they should have done it sooner, but it is a positive that comes out of the loss, and maybe we could do something like that.
If I never said it before, many of you have been an important part of my life, and I’m better for having known you. People like Sundae, from a part of the world I’ve never been to, and would have had no reason to know, if not for the magic of the internet, and the people who have put forth the effort to create and maintain internet communities like The Cellar. I don’t make many serious or personal comments, but I’m sending my love to you all, and I’ve gotten a little teary-eyed at my desk while typing this.

She was real. Because she was honest and shared her life as it really was. Not just the triumphs. Same like Brianna. Dwellers like her are family because they shared all of it. Some folks on here only share the winning. Some only share the losing. Chrisinhouston, orthodoc.
Whatever. It's fine. Share as much as you are moved to share. You get out what you put in. Cherry had dreams about the cellar. So much so that she made a thread about it. I was in them in the beginning. Not so much as my involvement waned. We were family to her, clearly.
Aw fuck
Fuck
Eventually, we're all going to die off. Let me just say that right now, today.... I love my family. My kids, my parents, my siblings, my imaginary cellar friends, my meat space friends. Be excellent to each other
