WA, I know exactly what you mean. Approaching something like this with a degree of trepidation, I think, shows a certain respect and humility to another person’s memory and I suppose that’s where the real tribute is.

Amin, thank you for all of your support and your entry.
I just changed “Background and Rules” to “Submission Guidelines” – here is the new link:

Sorry, I know that changes your link on this post, but I needed to to make things clearer.

Thank you!

Amin, I think something like this is always humbling. To write a tribute, a memorial, or a project like this is so overwhelming. I suspect you’ve learned that yourself. Still, perhaps I’ll give it a try. I suppose the people so full of themselves they’d feel sure they could do a good job in a case like this aren’t the ones to leave it to…

WA, are you kidding me? If anyone’s qualified to write a piece that does justice to Sam’s sister, Jacquie, you are. It’s almost like I don’t believe you’re asking the question. Your writing is always powerful and wonderfully constructed. I think we’ve all been touched by the tributes you’ve written for the 2,996.

I think you’re probably the very person to write something to give Sam’s sister a life.

I hope you do write something – I’d love to see what you come up with. BTW, I had a go myself and Sam should be putting it up on his blog soon. Out of respect for him, I won’t post it here until it’s been on his blog for a day, but then I’ll put it up here with links back to his blog.

Amin, I read the piece and was very touched by it. I’d like to write something to help him give his sister a life, but I wonder if I’m really up to it.

Thank you, sir.

Question – would you be willing to invite me to use ClusterMaps? They’re not taking new users unless they are invited by existing ones and I think I’d like to use in on Jacquies Journal.
Thank you.

“How do I invite another user?

Existing users have an ‘invite’ button on the very BOTTOM of their login (’admin’) page, i.e. the one you get to via the ‘Admin’ link at the top of any ClustrMaps.com page… a user then just needs to enter a friend’s email address, and the friend will receive an invitation with a link to register.”
