Sweetcali

[Mike]

As many of you know SweetCali has been fighting cancer for the last 2 plus years. She is a fighter! We have been with hospice since Jan of 2010.

Right now shes needs your postive energy to help her make the transiton to her next adventure.

She had/ has big love for everyone here and has missed not interacting as of late, but trust me when I say she still has that sense of humor and a nail file to blop you with.


thanks
Mike

[WolfyOne]

Words can't express how to help her make that next transition or her next happy adventure
For all the pain and suffering she has been doing,
there has to be something better over the horizon
I certainly know as loved as she is around here, she'll be loved even more where she goes

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours in this time of pain and sorrow
Keep all those memories in your heart and your head will have a whole lot of stories to tell
Peace be with you, always

[Selenay]

SweetCali, Mike, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've had the honor to know you, share meals with you, and road trip with you. You are the kindest of souls and your love means a lot. You are laughter wit, and one of the best human beings I know. It's gonna be ok, by this time next year I'll be driving Worm to some kind of basketball event or the beach hell even both.

It's time to go lil momma, we love you.

Bop her back, if you dare.

I have been wondering about Ms. Cali.

Please give her a bite of some really yummy chocolate,

And send her some zombie love.

I have missed both of you, ever since I left Oakland. I treasure those memories, as I do all of the chat memories. Sweetness, I don't think you know how deeply you touched me. Thank you for all of the bops with the glass nail file, and the truffles shared, but most of all, thank you for your love. Max sends his best too.

[Luv]

Sending many prayers and much love your way..:rrose:

[always2late]

Sweet...when I first started coming to these sites...you were one of the first people to welcome me and make me feel at "home". Through the years, your kindness and generosity of spirit was a consistent presence. You are an amazing woman and I know you will begin your new journey with your ever-present strength and wit and nail file :). Sending you all the love and positive light I have (and a truckload of truffles)

--- My thoughts are with you and mike and the heathens at this point in time as they have been with you always.
My heart has felt your pain as of lately. forgive me for not being a good friend lately and have been wrapped up in my own bullshit. i think of your laughter at my jokes and being my friend despite me being a old billy goat. I am thankful for your friendship. when i like someone its forever despite anything. i had to laff at your truffles, nailfile(that hit me often it seems) and when u said your hair looked like a (gasp) "lesbian granola dyke".
i want you in this world but if you do have to go sarafemme, Lady Blackheart and my cat fergie will greet you. and will always know when you are around.Much love always to you Sweet-FR

[DomnNC]

Wishing you, your family, your children and cali much love, peace and solace during this difficult time. Please know cali will forever be a part of you and will live on in your heart and mind. Tho I really don't know either of you I can tell you both are good loving people from the testaments offered here by others that did indeed know you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

[Arwen]

K, we never met but we played well in chat. You were unfailingly kind when you weren't being a sarcastic, hysterically funny woman. I'm sad for never having met you.

Candles lit to light your way to the next stage of your journey. You are someone I will remember with joy.:rrose:

Mike, words fail me. A candle is lit for you and yours as well.

Sending good thoughts, love and light to Sweet and Mike and their entire family ............ My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time

[Goofy]

Sweet, sweetcali...I remember meeting you in Oakland. Every time I think of you, I think of that infectious smile of yours. I hope this next journey for you goes peacefully. June is right...this is some fucked up heinous fuckery.

Mike, you are in our thoughts also. May you find peace as well.

[CherryFemme]

Dear Booboo,
We have known each other a long time. Remember when you schooled me in 199 (fill in the blank) on how to chat? Later, it was my pleasure being your night chat room monitor when the only butch-femme chat was yours.

Thank you for trusting me with the "Golden Hammer"...it was my pleasure. ;)

I wish you well on your journey, dear friend. You and Mike + the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Big Hug,

Leadblue (CF)

Dearest Cali -

Thank you so very much for being unfailingly kind and patient to me when I first found the dash site. I have always been grateful that you "showed me the ropes" so to speak so I didn't blunder too badly with all the labels and definitions.

You touched my life.

Sending light and love as you move to your next adventure. I am certain its full of lovely truffles.

Mike & the heathens - know you are in our thoughts.

Much love,
Christie & Jess

((((sweetchocodiva)))) & mike

it is so very difficult for us to send you on your way to the next, big, chocolate-laden chapter. though we never met face-to-face, i enjoyed so much chat time with you and being bopped with the big ol' nail file. i still have lumps on my head. *grin* since you must depart for other things and other adventures, i hope that in that time you find peace of body, of mind, of spirit. oh...and find that the godiva factory is your neighbor! *grin* may your incredible strength guide you through this transition and beyond.

mike...you all are in my and potty's thoughts right now. your dedication and strength are incredible. remember to attend to yourself during this time. you are in a phase of transition as well.

Sweet and Mike. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sweet, you were exactly what I needed when I fell into chat six years ago. I was a broken mess and your kindness, realness and patience helped me. Thank you.

[Mister Bent]

I never had the pleasure to get to know Sweetcali, or Mike, but I know that life is about transitions.
I believe there is peace to be found in embracing and celebrating our innate condition of impermanence. And so I offer only this:


No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you, and you are in me
Because I am in you, and you are in me

***
There are no real goodbyes
There are no real endings
Because I am in you
and you are in me


Peace to you both, and your family,
From me and mine.

[Queerasfck]

A peaceful journey to someplace better Sweetcali. You are remembered with fondness and love by many.

Peace and love to you and Mike.

[Mike]

I wanted to thank all of you for your thoughts , prayers, and guiding light. Like I said Sweet is a fighter. On Saturday, hospice, and I thought we were at the end of this life as we know it. The nurse was here, Sweet was unresponsive as she had been mostly the 2 or 3 days before. We left it at that. Sunday morning at around 7 Sweet woke me up to tell me she wanted a bath. We made this happen. (Actually we had 6 baths on Sunday.) We got back in bed and dozed off. Around 8 30 the hospice nurse came back and guess who answered the door. Sweet did! The nurse was in shock. this couldnt be the person she had visited on Saturday who didnt even know she was there.
When Sweet couldnt swallow the pills they where giving her we had to stop trying that and just rely on liquid pain meds to help her. They think she was having a reaction to one of the pills and it took that long for her body to rid itself of that medication.
She's been up, and very lucid on and off since then. She has started eating again, and altho tired, manages to be awake for the girls for short periods of time. WE know the end is somewhere out there, her will to be there for her girls is amazing to say the least.

Again thank you everyone for all your kind thoughs, she hasnt been able to read this yet, but I have been telling her about the amazing community we have and all of you.

Mike

[The_Lady_Snow]

She's a fighter and bopped Santa Muerte in the head with hrer glass nail file.

[Corkey]

Simply amazing.

[Medusa]

The joy of a bath!!

That's my girl! Luxiouriating!

I am glad she is having some time with her babies and with you - That's all that really matters in the big picture is that she feels the love that people have for her.

We all love her and are thinking of her every day. Thank you, Mike, for taking the time to update us!

<3

[julieisafemme]

You know this is amazing but seems to be in keeping of the tiny bit I know about her. The first and only time I met her she was so gorgeous in her full length dress with the jeweled collar and so much fun and full of life that I could not believe she was so ill.

I am glad she has more time to spend with her babies and you Mike.

[lyric]

Mike, you are all - you, Sweet, and your family - in my thoughts. She sure does sound like a fighter! What a beautiful example of love, loyalty, and perseverence she sets for so many. I haven't seen Sweet in a long time, but please tell her lyric sends her love. I send it to you, too. *hugs to you both*

[oneye]

*sheepishly admitting* i believe a good bath has that much allure, too.

Yes there are miracles sometimes in this life. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Sweet is a great lady, deserving of the very best.

[Mike]

I feel that I should up date this but, I am really at a loss for words. Sweet has been steady going downhill the past week. She's resting, for the most part without to much pain. She's asked that her girls not be in the room. It's hard on them. Her brother and sister both have come and gone home. My hope is that everyone has said the things they need to say to her and her to them and that everyone has found some peace. I am collecting pictures of her, if anyone took any at a bash or a social event please send them to me at beyond_male@yahoo.com. All we can do at this point is make sure she knows shes loved, treat her with respect and let her go when shes ready.
My thnaks to all of you for all your kind words.

Native American Tradition
Let Me Walk In Beauty

O Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty
and let my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears grow sharp to hear your voice.

Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother or sister
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me always ready
to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes
So when life fades as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.

Great Spirit of love, come to me with the power of the North.
Make me courageous when the cold winds of life fall upon me.

Give me strength and endurance for everything
that is harsh, everything that hurts,
everything that makes me squint.
Make me move through life ready to take what comes from the North.

Spirit who comes out of the East,
come to me with the power of the rising sun.
Let there be light in my word.
Let there be light on the path that I walk.
Let me remember always that you give the gift of a new day.
Never let me be burdened with sorrow by not
starting over.

Great Spirit of creation,
send me the warm and soothing winds from the South.
Comfort me and caress me when I am tired and cold.
Enfold me as your gentle breezes enfold your leaves on the trees.
And as you give to all the earth your warm, moving wind,
Give to me so that I may grow close to you in warmth.

Great life-giving Spirit,
I face the West,
the direction of the sundown.
Let me remember every day that the moment will come
when my sun will go down.
Never let me forget that I must fade into you.
Give me beautiful color.
Give me a great sky for setting,
and when it is time to meet you,
I come with glory.

And Giver of all life, I pray to you from the earth,
help me to remember as I touch the earth
that I am little and need your pity.
Help me to be thankful for the gift of the earth
and never to walk hurtfully on the world.
Bless to love what comes from mother earth
and teach me how to love your gifts.

Great Spirit of the heavens,
lift me up to you
that my heart may worship you
and come to you in glory.
Hold in my memory that you are my Creator,
greater than I,
eager for my good life.
Let everything that is in the world
lift my mind,
and my heart,
and my life to you
so that we may come always to you
in truth and in heart.

[T D]

MUCH love to Kristin, Mike, the Heathens, and the entire family!!!!

Only last week did I hear of sweetcali's condition... I am praying for peace for all of you! :praying:

[blackboot]

I hope you find comfort and peace in these words as I have many times.

You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.


In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?


For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?


Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

~Kahlil Gibran~

Peace to you Sweetcali & Mike

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.

I am so very saddened to hear this awful news.

I am glad that her suffering has ended, and she can finally be at peace, but am devastated that the bright light of one as lovely as she had to be snuffed far too soon.

As much as you'll miss your family and friends, we'll all miss you, too
Sympathy in abundance as the reflections begin
Sadly, we can rejoice with memories held near and dear
We look up as you look down and smile
One day we shall all meet again
Until that day we'll carry on

Peace be with you Mike and the girls
Love never dies, it stays in our hearts forever

Mike and "the girls"

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Take care of yourself Mike and when you feel you can't, know that there are others sending you love, light, energy and prayers to sustain you.

[faymie]

Please listen, my dear friends:

My dear Kristen—our Sweet Calico: you have been a huge influence in my life over not enough years! You taught me so much about how to live with sweetness and kindness in a context of ambiguity and even of parody!! How you made me laugh! For instance, when you didn’t accept your “short-hair” look!!

Folks at my church have been praying for you—for Mike, the girls, the grandparents, and the wonderful good friends—for a long time. We will not stop.

My dear Sweet—we watched the jellyfish together. And you taught me how to love and live across barriers that once were boundaries. I honor your life and feel deeply in my heart your presence among us. Good-bye, dear friend.

Heart’s outpourings to all who love her!

Sweet, thank you for your warmth and kindness. You will never be forgotten as you have touched so many lives and will live on in hearts of those who love you.

[Medusa]

I didn't get to officially "meet" Sweet until the Dash Bash in Oakland. This was a year after the Dallas event where I pawed through some clothing swap items, trying to find some suitable things to send home with Mike for her.

I remember when I met her how she warmly took both of my hands and we embraced like old friends. What a kind and wonderful person. What a sparkly spirit.

Although we are sad that she has moved on without us, how wonderful for all of us to have known her. To have had just a small glimpse of her life and her love for Mike and her children. Even in leaving us, Sweet has reminded us to be thankful for one another and to put a little Pink Princess Power out into the world.

Mike - Our love and thanks to you for caring for her during her transition and our deepest condolences in your sorrow. We are here for you, buddy.

[JackSpade]

Goldilocks...

You were the first person on my first day in chat to greet me. We had much fun arguing over limes, chocolate and back child support. You were Golden, with a Golden heart. damn.. I wanted you to live.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost


Mike & the Heathens, my deepest sorrow is extended to you. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Kristin aka *Sweetcali* has touched the lives of so many people, whether it was with words, with a smile or with love. Whilst she may have physically left us she will always remain in our memories.

Kristin, thank you for being a part of my life, you and Snow took me shopping, (I dont think good vibrations will ever be the same) you gave me the femme perspective and I will never forget the laughs we had doing it. You and Mike welcomed me into your home when I was far from mine, for me the memories will never be erased.

Mike she is free from pain now, and whilst you now have yours, you have so many friends that will support you and the heathens so use them when you need, do not ever feel alone.

[Mike]

Kristin went on her next big adventure on March 27, 2011 @ 4am, she told me at midnight she was ready to go. She, I and the girls really appreciated all the support all of you have shown us during this time. I did my best to convey all of the post to her. I am sure she’s reading them now and about to fuss at me because I forgot to say so and so said this or that. Even I have been thumped with a nail file or two. No one was safe.

I think the strength, love and support that everyone showed her (us) helped her make the transition to where ever she might be going. She was peaceful and at home. My thanks to all of you for the support you have shown. What an amazing community we are, when we all agree on something! If her girls have half the strength she had they will do amazing things in life. I trust they will. Please help to keep an eye on her babies. She loved them beyond love.

She will not be forgotten. Even though it was hard to see her go, we know she has a mind of her own and her work here was done. I have no doubt she’s somewhere doing something wonderful. I think a pair of stilettos are missing. Plus I thought I smelled choclate somewhere.

Kristin donated her body to UCSF there will be no funeral, in a few days the girls and I will figure out when to have a Celebration of Kristin’s life, right now they just need to be held and loved. I will let folks know when that will be.

Again, much thanks to all of you,

Mike

[CherryFemme]

I love you, Sweet.

You were always so kind to cheer us on through all of our big dramas... like our flood, your fire, our multiple tsunamis', your multiple girls, our move out of Cali, your move out of Salinas (yeah, remember that?!) and of course our daily chats to keep caught up on corsets, shoe-talk and the power of being femme.

You will not be forgotten. You left your mark on many of us here, in many different ways.

It my pleasure knowing you as I did, Sweet.

I ate a Godiva truffle in your honor today.
It was sweet.

Until we meet again, because somehow I feel like we will...

XXOO, ~CF (and bb)

Thanks, Kristin....... :heartbeat: :angel:

[Tommi]

Mike,
Thanks for keeping us posted, even during the times I know it must have been extremely difficult to just get out.

I believer everyone at The Planet walked along beside her, then surrounded and supported her in an invisible hammock of our energy and love.

My last time with her near was in Oakland after we performed and I was a bit green from unbeknownst to me at the time, was gallbladder attack on stage. She offered me her chair, and to get me a ginger ale, she just smiled, and I felt better..

Blessings to the children who are hurting, and to you as well.

Sweetcali... you were the first one to welcome me in chat when I first came to know of this community we love and I was just "coming out". You helped me figure myself out and cheered me up with chocolate! You even shared your nailfile so I could bop a butch who was being naughty with it! I pray you will find a painfree, peaceful place to sit and rest a while. I will miss you greatly! :candle:

[Butterbean]

The late football player, Walter Payton, once said, "Tomorrow is not promised to anyone." And, for quite some time it certainly was not to be promised for Kristin.

In her typical fashion, she energetically set about a series of final acts she considered essential to her peace of mind. She wanted nothing else except to take care of the people in her life she loved, and she courageously accomplished that.

During her own trial enduring chemotherapy, she managed cheerful phone calls to others facing their own challenges. When she made her decision to not endure yet another series of chemotherapy, her manner of communicating this was as graceful as I have ever heard.

She loved Mike. She loved her daughters. She loved this site. She loved many people here.

She was a wonderful friend to me and I love her and I will miss her.

Someone donated $100 in Kristin's name to the site.

We just wanted to thank that person, whoever they are, for their kindness and generosity in remembering such a wonderful person. Kristin enjoyed chatting and posting (and slapping folks with her nail file) and your donation helps support the space she loved.

We are in the process of working on a memorial for Kristin and will have that ready soon. She is already missed in such huge ways but the mark she left in this world remains bright and sparkly so that we all can feel just a tiny bit of her presence.

Much love to Kristin's family; Mike and her girls and to all of her friends and beloveds.

We have been busy with school and other things, the girls are not all in the same location at this time. We apologize for not getting back to everyone and figuring out a memorial time, I think we all needed to heal some and then of course there was school that we still had to deal with.
I wanted to share this with all of you because I know how proud Sweet would be and was for her girls.

Tonight was the awards dinner for the high school which the oldest will graduate on June 10 then off to UCSC.
The following is a list of awards she received. I said Sweet raised some strong girls. This is just an example of their determination and will to make their Mother proud.

I am very proud of her and know that she will continue to make her Mother proud.

Still Missing You

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.
Unknown
