I once said I couldn’t possibly write about her. That any words I could come up with just wouldn’t say enough. And she accepted this. I still feel this way. But I want to try.

This person came into my life by complete surprise. I was just drawing one day in DMT. I had been away from the game for three months, and had only been back… slowly re-adding old friends… for a month or so. And there I was, back to playing my favorite game with some of my favorite people and a few new faces… art was made, jokes were shared, a few witty remarks, and much encouragement given. This place on OMGPOP, is my stomping grounds… a place that holds special significance in my life… a lot of memories.

I am drawn to people with quick wit and a sense of humor. I am drawn to people who get my sense of humor… who get me… who respond. I am rarely riveted. It is a rare person who can truly hold my full attention. It is a rare person who actually makes me think. It is a far rarer person who sees me and accepts me for WHO I am, and doesn’t expect anything from me… other than what I offer… friendship and the occasional hem. I have been incredibly fortunate to meet a few people like that in my life. Those are the people I keep. One of those rarest exceptional people just happened to be in DMT that day, and… I added her.

That was back in November 2011...

Our friendship truly began the day I shared my first poem, and she was kind enough to be honest. It would be much later that I would realize the magnitude of the gift she had just given me.

I’m at a loss as to how to repay her. This gives me great pause.

I am quick to point out my flaws. She says ’you’re perfect’. This always surprises me, humbles me, and makes me respect her all the more. She is also perfect. I never get to tell her that. I have told her how much she means to me. I realize she knows… even if I don’t say it often enough. And I get a little teary-eyed because I truly do lack the words to tell her what a gift she is to people… not just me.

She makes me laugh so hard. She is THE Scamp.

Only she would come up with my new favorite pastime… High stakes Victim Tonking!!!

If you are lucky enough to have this woman in your life, never take her for granted.

Thank you, Rosie. You are perfect.
