Going back and watching these videos now, I can't seem to seperate Hazel Grace from Esther because they are so similar. I won't go on about how Awesome she is, because I never knew her, so I have no right to talk about her, but I loved her videos, and knowing she's gone breaks my heart.

I don't think I need to sai R.I.A, she seems to be doing a good job of that on her own.

"Don't just do something. Stand there." Well said.

As I watched this all I was able to do was take off my TSWGO bracelet, look at it and cry. Esther, though I've never met you I feel like I've known you my entire life. Rest In Awesome.

"Esther, my friend, godspeed." That kills me every time.

I want to write a big paragraph about how Esther is an inspiration to us all, but I don't know what to say.

Esther, rest in awesome.

I'm proud to be a Nerdfighter knowing she was one of us.

I was watching this without my headphones in, and then my sister comes in and said, "I don't even know her and I'm crying."

That was the day that my sister became a nerdfighter.

@taggrey I think a death is definitely sad, don't get me wrong, but this is not purely a sad situation. Esther has reminded me something I lost a long time ago: the power of being positive and of making the most of life. Even if she was sad under the surface as you are suggesting - and I can recognise from personal experience that people often hide their true emotions - I don't think that undermines the way she has affected nerdfighters based on the vision of Esther she has painted for us.
