For Delinda

Ok this is too strange for words…but I’ll try, as I prepare to interview Emile Sands  about Galaxy Isle on my show on Sunday, my dear freind and collegue Delinda Dyrssen lies in hospital in a Coma after suffering Renal Failure in the middle of her around the world Trip, we were to have finally met in RL in a week, and now she won’t be coming. Its the second time Ive been about to meet her in real life and she has ended up in hospital instead of being able to meet me…

Tonight I was IM’d by Tangle Gianno a mutual freind, and TP’d to The Pocket the venue that Delinda would normally be hosting tonight..where I met her family freind Berry who was right at that time with her family, in her hospital room with a laptop, and Second Life open playing the music from the pocket and telling her, whilst in her Coma about her freinds all there trying to wake her up with the music that Delinda loves from her beloved musicians playing at the pocket.

During the concert I got it in my head that I might be able to wake her up if I screech accross the metaverse with my worst Aussie accent possible…like I used to do when Delinda would drive me insane with her antics during a meeting…Up until now I was hoping and praying in my way that she would be ok…..but not allowing me to get too caught up in the worry, I mean when I’m on the otherside of the world what would worrying do….nothing..for her…

Berry her freind in the hospital room where they were holding a vigil waiting for her to wake up….got me to call him on voice, in SL, he turned down the music and had me talk to her over voice in SL to her directly…I yelled!! Wake UP Delinda!!! this is Paisley…no response….then I told her what I was seeing…who was at the club…what was playing how much we missed her..and who was there…

It was very moving, and very sureal to know that my freind was lying there..hearing my voice on the other side of the world, and we were all there for her. The musicians were singing music about wake up and get up…and singing songs to inspire her to wake up. Her Dr was amazed at the response allowing and encourageing her family and freinds to keep the music from Second Life coming that it was making a difference!

It only struck me now…that I’m doing an interview about this …and seeing it in action…freindships …..music….is real in Second Life…Delinda Wake UP! please we want you to annoy us with your IM’s We miss youre Boinging!!!!

We will meet one day Im sure of it. maybe not next week, but we will meet I know your’e determination will make this happen.

She’s close to waking…Im hoping it will be by the time I wake up. Delinda Dyrssen is one of the best hearted bravest people I know in SL or RL. God bless you darling…I hope you are having sweet dreams.

Hugs Paisley

Delinda/Denise died this morning. And I am having trouble believing it. I can’t write anything else right now…except to pass on my condolences to her family, who have already suffered so much. I never got to hug you. You were so brave and so kind I’ll miss you so much my darling.
