Dreading Time

The anniversary of Ingrid's death is coming up again, and I still can't believe it. How can it be two years? How can it be at all?

Come back, Ingrid. Come back. I still miss you so much.

Just yesterday I thought of something from our youth and thought, I'll call Ingrid and ask her if she remembers. But of course I can't do that.

Once again I am reminded: Life is not fair. Not even a little bit.

Damn it to hell.

Hi again. I burst into tears last night thinking of Ingrid. It wasn't a stretch because I had been thinking of her all week because I am in Germany for a film shoot. A shoot that Ingrid would have likely been invited to if she were still with us. It seems so bizarre that she's not here but I am - I don't even really speak German! Knowing that this day - 2 years ago - the end had already begun right in front of our eyes, my eyes -- and that the real end was right around the corner - it is hard to fathom. Wish you were here Ingrid..
Ich vermisse dich.

I am so sad to have just found out that Ingrid died.
I knew her when we both worked for Photo and Sound. God, she was an amazing woman. She is the first woman who made this straight gal wish she were gay. I envied all the women who got to spend time with her. I kind of wanted to BE her.

I got to go to the premier of Fun with a Sausage!

My husband and I had a tree decorating party after we were married back in '86 and Ingrid brought a bawdy little Femo ornament she had made of a little woman in a Santa suit with her titties and ass showing. I'll find it in the next few weeks and post a picture.

The world is a better place for having had her in it. I love you Ingrid!

Ingrid, oh Ingrid. I was running the other night on Solano Avenue in Albany and I looked up and saw you walking towards me. Immediately I realized it wasn't you, but for that moment - that split second - I chose to believe you were back in the flesh. I smiled and said "Hey." There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I talk about you all the time...to friends who knew you and those who didn't. I've named my new external hard drive "Ingrid." I need to get all your videos together and create an Ingrid DVD. That will be my New Years Resolution. But oh how I wish you were here and that we could be working together and laughing together once again. Loving you - missing you. Margo
