goodbye, Pterry

Goodbye, Sir Terry Pratchett. It was an honor to have seen you, a pleasure to have known your work, and you will be so very deeply missed.

It was the first item on my Twitter feed when I got home from work - and I was sobbing instantly.

I feel as devastated as when we lost Lis Sladen and Nick Courtney - there goes another piece of my fannish life.

I found out at work (why the email posts.) It was really hard to concentrate when I was in mourning.

Yeah, how do you explain to people you're crying over the death of a favourite author without them thinking you're weird?

Bugger. Leonard Nimoy wasn't enough?

At least we have books full of his heart and his good humor to help us through the bad times.
