I've been on internet forums since the mid 90's...and I never think about these kinds of things. I had gotten to know Amy a little through emails, and a lot on these forums...I remember when she had to go to hospital visits, and I thought it was more or less routine. The global reach of the internet is something...because in the microcosm of things, while she was in NZ, she was one of us. Amy showed us right until the end the true embodyment of someone who lived life too the fullest...it really makes me teared a little, thinking about how somone so kind and full of heart could be taken away so quickly...it still doesnt make sense. For awhile I thought that she was just really sick, and was gonna come back on sooner or later. I think this is an example of how the internet can be good, and bring something special to someone far off(a common interest) I still dont understand it...she was a very special person I remember very well...be it her emails talking about how New Zealand in part really does look like it does in LOTR, or about her Muppet memories.
This is such a crazy world...I hate to say it a very unfortunate world...but all of that disappears when someone mentions the muppets...and in an instance all that ugliness disappears. This is how Amy was on the forums, and in her own life. I dont really want to think about it, as it just makes me sad to think someone like that could go so early...but on the brief time she was with us I can truly say without trying to put on, that she in fact did touch us....and show us what life is all about.
