You will be missed

[clocketpatch]

After a great evening out I came home and went to check the DbyA for new posts/spam/unwhited spoilers. People had left messages in the C-box. I sort of skimmed them but my eyes caught out the words "will miss the SJA" and all I could think was: "Damn! It's been cancelled? But I loved that show! I love Clyde/Rani and Sarah-Jane and K-9/Mr. Smith"

If only.

It's not really sticking yet. Reading various posts, I think it's a big shock to everyone in fandom. No one knew she was sick. She always looked so young. All I can think now is that 63 is my mum's age, which I generally forget because she looks so young too. My sympathies and prayers are going out to Lis Sladen's friends and family tonight.

Good bye Sarah-Jane, we won't forget you.

I know; I think I had been having probably about the best day I've had since being ill, and then right at the end of it, what I thought at first had to be a sick joke, because how could Elisabeth Sladen be dead? But the BBC said it was true. *hugs*

And how sad for her family. Not that it's ever easy, but these days, 63 is way, way too young. :-(

And the SJA, too (presumably, I mean...?!). Wow. I feel slightly sad for all the kids who watch, too, even if that sounds silly. (Bad enough to lose your fave TV show when you're young. And these days even ten year olds are going to know exactly why.)
