Happy MaggieD Day!

When did she pass? Are any of her posts still around? I'd like to see if I can remember her better. My crash in 2016 has robbed me of many memories.:(

I appreciated Maggie's open mindness. She might not agree with you but she was open to hear what you had to say and actually think about it.

She was the ****ing best. She took a bit of DP's heart and soul with her when she got her wings.

Here is a page from her blog with a pic of Maggie and her posse. But I'd say begin at the beginning. There are a few very funny blog entries, one of them pretty much along the lines of Waiting to Exhale. Maggie was so good to her mother and so good to her mother's ungrateful, selfish companion and so brave and resolute in the face of her terminal diagnosis and...just so warm and funny. Read all about Tom, her faithless life companion, and how she rose above him and above all of it. https://www.debatepolitics.com/blogs/maggied/uncategorized/index3.html

Thankyou, I'll read up.:peace
 
I remember her now. I only had to read about 2 lines before it all came back to me. Yes, a great loss. Glad another poster helped me out with this one.
Thanks Notabene!:peace
 
Maggie was (is, in some way) the only member I've never seen get cross with anyone. Not even passive aggressive or snide.
 
MaggieD was one of the good ones.
 
Sweet MaggieD made a lasting impression on me! I still consider her a DP Super Star! So much about her stood out: passion, honesty, kindness, warmth, intelligence, humor and true grit!

My condolences and blessings to all of you, like me, still affected by your DP memories of her. Honestly, I can't think of anyone in DP more universally liked than her! My song this morning for MaggieD:

 
Ah, Maggie remains memorable. For newer members, Maggie was much-loved. She blogged the end of her life's journey from her struggles to take care of her elderly mother (and later her mom's feckless, ungrateful companion) to her surprise cancer diagnosis. Anyone facing challenges would profit from reading some of her blog entries--they're frank and often very funny. For those familiar with Waiting to Exhale, there are some hilarious stories. I saved all of her blog entries into Word long ago. Maggie was a wonderfully good person and will always be missed, but her inspiration remains.

Corny me; my eyes tear thinking about her!
 
Maggie was an absolute sweetheart and fantastic human being; One of the first to welcome me to DP....cheers Maggie, we miss you.
 
I have every PM Maggie and I shared over the years. Rereading them reminds me how blessed I was to have such a wonderful friend. I miss you, MaggieD, but I will never forget your kindness and loving nature. I'm a better person for having known you.

I loved her forthrightness, and I admired her so much. I too am a better person for having been privileged to know her. Grace and guts.
 
Sadly, I don't recall ever meeting her.

Now I regret it.

Her message to reaction score ratio is impressive:

Maggie got her angel wings.

If you’re reading this, I’ve passed away. I just had to say good bye. You’ll never know how much you’ve all meant to me over the years. I love every one of you...even the liberals. 😉

Maggie's blog writings contained a kaleidoscope of emotions and served to capture and memorialize her inner essence.

A beautiful soul.

She touched a lot of people here. I really liked chatting with her. I am glad some you preserved some her blogs and writings. Maybe you should get together and edit them into a book. She was pretty good writer. I miss her presence here.

I hope Maggie's writing will always be available here at DP. Again, for those reading this thread who are facing immense challenge, whether it's an elderly parent or medical crisis or the most cruel and heartbreaking of betrayals, check out Maggie's blog and see how it's done...with class and courage.

Sad to say I never did. That thread is pretty affecting. Seeing all those people normally as odds with each other, expressing their shared grief.
 
Still miss ya Maggie, you were a class act
