Sara was just starting out at Rocky, back when we were
still doing it at the Varsity theater. I really did
not know her at the time, but I was shocked that she
not only knew I was on cast but knew my name. A few
weeks later she came up to me and demanded to take a
picture with me in her trannie/preshow uniform, a hot
little red number that many people took away from that
show with very unsure thoughts about. The picture was
shot and I managed to get a copy. That copy I hold
dearly. I have it placed on my collection of Sara
things, with offerings of Wrestling toys, happy face
pins, candy (mind you, very old candy) and things that
are made of plastic that blink. Every so often I buy
another package of candy for the shelf. I see it and
think about how her life made me a slightly better
person and her death prepared me for many more to come
(including my own). It was the first time I really
had to deal with someone I knew leaving for good. I
went through some soul searching. My one hope is that
I am as brave and strong as Sara when I have to shedd
this thing we call life.
To say that I miss her is a understatement. To say I
wish I knew her better is also one. The only thing I
can do it try to treat people around me the best I can
or fucking avoid them like the the plague. I try and
sometimes I forget, but then the 21st and the 31st
show up and remind me to forgive, live and have some
fun with this life
