A Remembrance for Palomma

I used to have many posts that does not promo anything at all. Be it just random cosplays or stories and along the way, those got less. But today, I am going to do one just for my friend Palomma. 

Most people would have known her as the creator of Free Dove as well as the Bundles with Dove events which I too had posts articles about. Free Dove is likely a sim that most of us at some point of time had visited to grab new stuff for free especially when we were new. I was one of them. And I did not know Palomma then. It was only after many many years that I had posted something for Free Dove (I think it was a hunt) that we became friends and I had been posting for Free Dove for a long time.

Free Dove is still around. For now anyway and I think if you had not been there ever. Well, this is the time. Go take a look, grab some stuff and this will in a way honor my friend as this is exactly what she had made Free Dove for.

Well, the sad news is that Palomma had left us on 14th Jan 2023 after a long struggle with her illness. Honestly, I was shocked. She was one tough nut. I thought she would totally wipe whatever came along. But in the end, all of us are just human. And this also reminds us of how fragile we are. So, while I honor my friend here, do treasure everyone around today. If you like, there are numerous condolences books right here for you to leave a message for Palomma:

But I do not really want to talk about Free Dove today. You can read all about it from the other posts and blogs about the great sim and its work in the past decade. I want to talk about something more personnel and direct to my heart about Palomma. When I was blogging, I had moved many places and stayed many places. Like a nomad that travels over and over. Until Palomma finally gave me a place to work with. You will have notice this fireplace and many familiar locations in the next few pictures. All these are taken from Palomma's home. Which she had kindly shared with me and it is something else that not many others can talk about. But it is not just a house or a skybox. It had become a real home to me and I am going to miss it. As much as I miss Palomma. While I was putting up one of this last decorations of shooting stars, little did I know. A real star is about to fall and ...

Every little things in the house reminds me of her. The bedroom, which I hardly ever touch was anime themed. And she even added some Japanese touch to it. I had not really noticed that too much in the past until now. I did not know if she did it for me. But if she did. I am so touched. So sad that I could not thank her properly for everything she did for me. 

I recalled having her nagged at me for leaving all sort of stuffs from designers after I unpacked and left it all over the house taking up LI. And I had grown much more conscience and careful about it thanks to her. How I wish I could see her nagging messages again. Whenever I forget to delete or keep my stuff. But in reality, I guess she did not mind some of them and I did occasionally left a few for the place. 

It was here that we talked about a lot of things. About how I love Halloween and she didn't. How she felt about Xmas and everything. We talked about events, hunts and even things in our personnel lives. It is in this sense that I never really saw Palomma as "one of the designers" I worked with. She is my friend. And that I am honored.

There are so much memories of this place that I did not even know how to deal with it when I heard the news. I guessed I ran. I did not know how to respond to it. It was not the first time, but there were lots of planks as such going around and suddenly people would just pop up with a "Got'ya". But I know this time. It is not the case. Even if I wished it was just a bad joke.

Sorry Palomma. I am probably one of the last person to say anything about this. About your pasting. I really did not know how to deal with it. And I still did not. I guess I might never do. I can only wish that you are finally Free of all the bonds and sufferings from this Earthly plane and finally is about to fly free like the Dove you had named Free Dove to be. 

I will always keep you and your memories close to my heart. 

Until someday, we might meet again. 

Lastly, let me add a link to a wonderful video tribute:
