A remembrance of someone I wish I knew.

My life on the Internet is fairly isolated and insulated. I have a list of favorite sites that I routinely visit - InstaPundit, Lileks, RWN, the Onion, local newspaper sites, a couple of sports and wrestling sites and so on - and so if I don't visit your blog even though it's gold, I'm sorry. Just haven't gotten into the habit of visiting it yet.

Which made me kick myself all the harder when I read the news about Cathy Seipp.

Having only familiarized myself with her writing after reading about her most recent hospitalization on Lileks yesterday, I hate that I didn't start reading her sooner. Judging by the 600-odd comments left on her daughter's announcement of her hospitalization, I was in the minority, as Cathy apparently had quite a silent following who read her regularly and respected her regardless of her politics - something that I think a lot of us, as writers and bloggers, aspire to as well.

There are a lot of comments on that above-referenced post that read along the lines of, "I never post comments here, but I wanted to wish you well and let you know I'm praying for you, Cathy."

And I am, too. Godspeed, Cathy.
