Dutchess Button - A Eulogy

 


Enrik told Fancy you were gone.  I am so mad at you Dutch, I'm mad that you got so angry about me "breaking the rules" and letting Kahina put a dance in last minute for our September show.  I'm mad at you because I had to reschedule a meeting at the last minute due to a rl issue and you bitched about it to our teammates.  I'm mad at you because the one time.....the ONE TIME I played favorites on my team was something I did for YOU.  I'm mad at you because when it came to Second Life you were my sister, my Licha Ninetails:

And I'm mad at me because I lost you again.  Its one thing to lose you and know you're still out there, it's another to know you are no longer here.  Not Licha, not Dutchess, but Alicia..... YOU.

Even though we lost our way three times now, you were an important part of my life.  We shared so much, hours and hours in TeamSpeak before SL Voice was integrated, you knew my life story and I was fascinated and emotional by yours.  Your stories about El Salvador made me realize that although I despise him, my sons father must have had a hard life coming from that country.  You were so gracious to me, sending me pupusas across the country in a dry ice cooler because you knew I liked them, surprising me on my birthday with an edible flower arrangement, and helping me understand that it's ok for men to read porn.  😂

Today, I reflect on a friendship that was once like a sisterhood.  Instead of thinking of those times that led to our separation, I'm going to reflect on the good times that we shared, the funny moments that made Second Life fun - like when you fucked up your house......


I will never forget you Alicia, thank you for being a part of my life, despite it all you meant a lot to me.  I'm happy knowing that you are now with your mom and your dad and all of the years of pain you had to endure are finally behind you.  Rest in Peace.
