My mother, Rose Da Silva, has returned to the ocean. I know she was close to a lot of people here and I thought it was important to let everyone know.
[ She hadn’t wanted to tell anyone, truth be told, but she knew she couldn’t selfishly hold onto the information when Rose knew and cared about so many people in this place and vice versa. But even this small amount of public acknowledgment cuts her to the bone. ]

Re: Such a good emotionally charged song!
Rose had that strength, and more: she was like Eda, using whatever she could to save her kid. Luz couldn't help but love her for that alone, among other things].
I saw that hell...or some of it, anyway. I didn't know she stayed back though and made sure you got out.
[Now Luz was kicking herself for not spending more time with her, for losing track after the Tyrant].
It always is. Usually I try to keep myself busy. It's not like I can do anything about missing Mami and not being able to be at the grave to visit Papi.
[Luz did her best to keep her voice steady, and it wavers, because how could it not]?

but Sharon knows she’ll get through it. she’s done it once but back then she had her dad to lean upon. she’s lucky to have so many friends to turn to but nothing can replace the comfort and support a parent brings. ]
You might not be able to visit his grave here but you can still do the little things you used to to honor him.
If… if you want, we can gather flowers together and put them in a bottle and send them out to sea. I know it can’t replace being able to visit him but… [ she’s willing to help Luz find a new way to honor her father and build a new tradition if she wants it. ]

[And that's not JUST because of all the killing Alessa did in that particular memory]!
No, I know. I plan on it too. There's a day we celebrate for him.
I'd like that. The twenty third of this month. That's when mom and I celebrate it proper.
no subject
Then let’s do some things for him together then. I’ll be here for you like you’ve been here for me.
[ her own grief was stifling but she could see past it to see Luz was drowning in it too. ]
no subject
If you're willing, I'd like you to come with me to giving flowers that day. I'll be with my girlfriend too, but it'll mean the world to have people that matter to me there that day.
[Ones she was comfortable seeing her grieve, of course].
no subject
I’m sorry Rose didn’t get the chance to meet her and do this with you. I know that’d be something she would’ve wanted.
no subject
[She hoped anyway].
It would have been nice. Of course, that would have been nice for Fern and Varian to be there too. You can't really choose who gets to stay and who leaves.
[Which still made Luz bitter but oh well].

[OOC: So I actually DID have a thread for this event since I figured it was important to acknowledge Luz's dad's death as stated by canon this year. If you want to handwave them getting together and talking, you can, I just figured it might be a good way to get both Sharon and Lexi acquainted with each other]!
no subject
[ ooc: let me know when you’d like me to hop in and I will! You can just ping me on plurk at
no subject
[Which was saying something, since Luz was feeling ten times guilty having missed it so long]!
((OOC: Oh, you can drop in right now, they're all gathered up at the moment))!
