I don’t know if this was common knowledge, or if I was just not made aware, but I learned yesterday that Kangaroo Jackie aka FRiend Down Under passed away a year ago this month.
It’s hard to take, as for a while, she and I were fairly close, and I was able to talk her out of at least one of the depressions that plagued her so frequently.
What a loss. That’s all it can be called...loss...
Today has been a day of mourning and seeing information not wanting to see. May this day improve.
I didn’t know, and I’m very sorry. She was bipolar, iirc, poor dear, and went through some very hard times. It’s a tough old world out there.
That explains why I hadn’t been able to get a hold of her. I remember how she opened her heart and soul to us after her husband died. I can only hope they are happily together again.
WTH...
That's horrible news. I remember one of her episodes, she melted down on FR in real-time, and several of us tried to talk her off the ledge.
Then, while I was still in Iraq, I got FReepmails from her saying she was engaged, and the pics she sent looked idyllic. I was so happy she turned around like that.
But to hear this? Just damn...
