How can I write about anything else today when someone who is very well known across the internet and very well loved is battling for her life right now?
You probably know her as CrazyCrayon, but if you don't know the name CrazyCrayon, her name is Esther. Esther is a Nerdfighter, which to me, means she is family. She has cancer and tonight she is exceptionally ill.
My prayers tonight are for Esther and her family. Please keep Esther in your thoughts.
That's all I can really say today. Oh, and Happy Birthday to John Green, without his existence, many of us would not have ever known Esther. Gosh, this is a really big day in Nerdfighteria. Let's be thankful that the world has worked out in such a way as to bring us all together, even if our togetherness only exists regularly in cyberspace, we are all real people, living real lives, and right now, I am praying real prayers for a real person.
Today's quote from the book "365 Days to Let Go: daily insights to change your life"
August 24: "When we realize that our true nature can never be known, only continually discovered, then we become fearless explorers of reality we are created to be - moving in and out of complementary or conflicting moments alike with the same ease as does a dolphin take delight in carving its way through the endless currents of the sea."

Of course at the time I am writing this we know that Esther has passed away. She lives on in people's hearts and memories.
