As strange and as sad as it may seem, seeing the overwhelming amount of responses for Tally make me smile. Knowing that so many people care and were affected by him fills me with a strange joy even though he has passed on.
Everyone who downplays anyone's reaction here should rethink things. Sure, most of these people are 'internet friends'. But most of us here check in once or more a day to make a post or just to lurk. On some level we are more emotionally intimate with one another than we are with people surround us from day to day. I love all the lounge regulars and seeing someone like Tally pass away is a huge blow.
Even though I never got into deep, lengthy conversations with him he always struck me as a funny and well humored guy. My only regret is that I didn't talk to him more.
To me losing him is like having one of your classmates not show up to class one day. I can't ask to borrow his notes or pens anymore. Or ask him what he's doing after school.
Took me awhile to think of what I wanted to say. But this was about it.
Rest easy Tally. I don't believe in an afterlife, but I hope your final sleep is a peaceful one.
