This isn’t something I generally do. I don’t generally blog about things that are sad or upsetting. There are enough places to get bad news, I don’t need to add my blog to the list.
But this time it’s about someone I have met, talked to, hugged, laughed with.
This time it’s about Anissa.
Anissa, whom I met at the pre-BlogHer party for the first time, but immediately made me feel like I was among friends (and gave me her goody bag!)
Anissa, whom I wish I had managed to hang out more with that weekend, and is another reason why I am looking forward to BlogHer10.
Anissa, who is sweet, and funny, and friendly, and has something so special about her that makes people gravitate towards her.
Anissa, whom you can’t help but love from the moment you meet her.
Anissa, who has already been through so much.
Anissa suffered from a stroke a few days ago. It landed her in the ICU. She is 35 years old.
Please join me in sending Anissa your love, thoughts and prayers/get well vibes. Please. Because she totally deserves them. Because the world is a better place with her in it. Because I guarantee that you will want to have a chance to meet her.
A photo of Anissa shared by Ali on the Hope4Anissa Flickr pool. We love you girl!
