Dearest Yumi:
Oh, how sad for you. You are very kind to send these messages to us, her blog friends. Do not worry about your English — you say as much as anyone can say in this situation.
I have posted your messages on my blog also — and many friends of Lisa read them with sadness. They and I want you to know that we share your pain. We all hope desperately that Lisa will recover quickly, and come back to you for a long life together.
I think of you in that lonely hospital room, even sleeping with Lisa and keeping her company. That will help her heal more than anything that the doctors can do.
I will come to this blog often to see if you have any news for us.
I wish both of you every happiness.
Many, many thanks, Justine

Dearest Yumi –
Feeling so sad for you and Lisa, I just put up a tribute to her on my blog. It seems right, somehow, to share it with you here. This is the text:
I hate to seem maudlin or self-pitying here. Lisa is someone I’ve blogged with over six months, the last one intensely. But I have a hundred or more RL friends — and any of them being beaten and badly hurt would occasion a LOT of my concern and fellow-feeling.
Still, I feel just THAT bad for Lisa and for her beloved girlfriend. (Sadly, given the sort of blogging we do, I can’t really mention this tragedy to my RL partner [who doesn't "understand" my blogging] or other RL chums. How did life suddenly get compartmentalized?)
Be that as it may, I need to share my feelings here about the extraordinary Lisa, whom I met on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/people/vulvanist/). Recently she got her own LJ, and many of you came to know her as well as I did. She is a young Brit businesswoman working in the Far East, but more to the point she is perhaps the most “out” lesbian I’ve ever met! (Fascinating for moi, who spent all too much of her life closeted and unfulfilled.)
And she wound up in that thrilling girl/girl place after what seems to have been a heck of an extended shot at guys (some of whom are right there — and I do mean THERE — on her happy little Flickr page). Having played the fields (as it were), in recent months she had settled into a sweet romance with a Japanese girl named Yumi. But, delightfully, she still loved to reminisce about all the great affairs she’d had on several continents. And one NEVER thought of it as bragging!
I treasure our flirtatious correspondence, me seeing just what this sensuous woman wanted — and got — out of life and her coaxing me to share my hopes and few remaining secrets. (You guys perhaps wonder if I had much of anything left unbroadcast…)
Lisa loves fast cars, exotic places, the hunt for the elusive femme, and eroticism in any form. Why she’d share such intimacies with a comparative sensual klutz is beyond me. (Oops, one thing she insisted on was my NOT getting all apologetic about my own accomplishments, such as they are!)
She’d had emotionally distant parents, but somehow retained an ability to empathize with those around her. Frequently in bed, certainly, but I strongly suspect Lisa was equally comfortable in most any social milieu. And, likewise, I surmise that her business career has been spectacular.
Hearing at length of her deep love for Yumi, I halfway envied them both for the marvelous prospects that seem to open before them. I’m nothing if not jaded about love, seeing it turn to dust for me and for other close friends, but Lisa has taught me that it remains out there to be found, fought for, and savored.
I only hope she will get a lot of years yet to do exactly that. I know a lot of other LJ and Flickr folks must feel the same. So, thinking of poor Yumi at her bedside in the Tokyo hospital, I send all our warmest wishes for her speedy recovery and for their long happiness.
good, thanks
