Susie Youssef Instagram – I love Cal Wilson. I was a fan before I was her friend so I felt ridiculously lucky when she became one of my biggest cheerleaders. Her friendship changed me. God, she made me laugh. How could you not smile at that human rainbow. She made me want to be better as a friend and as a comic. She kept my heart safe when I shared my worries with her and I will miss her more than I can say. I haven’t wanted to write this post because it doesn’t matter what I write, it won’t do her justice. I can’t contain the feelings I have for her in a few words. I kept thinking of a Stephen King quote about how the most important things are the hardest to say because words diminish them and we want more than just to say the thing, we want an understanding ear (I’ll post the actual quote)
And then I realised that there are so many understanding ears because she was universally adored. I have no doubt of her love for her friends and family because she said it and showed it constantly. She loved with every fibre of her beautiful Lincraft-loving heart.
I’m so grateful that I got to hold her masculine hand this week and kiss her head and tell her I loved her. I’m still angry that she’s gone. My heart breaks for Chris and Digby. I don’t know how to finish this except to say that when the anger and heartbreak passes, if it ever does, I have so many memories that will make me laugh and cry and I know how lucky I am for that. | Posted on 13/Oct/2023 08:36:54
