On behalf of Goddess Vertigo... NOT sexual in nature
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2015 12:41 am
Hey all.. A word of warning, this is not a fun or playful post. It is the fulfillment of a request from a very good friend, Goddess Vertigo. If it is deemed to be unsuitable as a forum post by an administrator I understand, but I was asked to do this and so it's my sad responsibility to do so...
I will also add that anything I reveal here I was given permission to do so by Vertigo.
I met Vertigo over a year and a half here in the milo chat room. We started chatting via a game of 20 questions and hit it off quickly. We became playmates at times but more than that we became good friends. And even better with every life challenge we faced.
Vertigo, who she recently revealed in chat was really Inbar, lived in Israel. She was a writer, a military medic, and an amazing person through and through. I still remember the night there were riots in her neighbourhood. Verti reached out to me on skype and I stayed up with her through the night as cars were firebombed 20 feet from her front yard. It amazed me to think that two people from such different cultures experiencing such incredibly different lifestyles could provide comfort to each other because of a sex chat site. Thats what inspired my other thread Community.
It was last September 2014 that Vertigo gave me the tragic news that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the very same that had killed her brother four year prior to that. Her bravery was astounding. She became determined to face this news by enjoying every moment she could and in spirit and deed continued to share her positive mindset with others.
In April of this year, another blow. As Vertigo continued to go in and out of hospital care and her health continued to deteriorate, yet still repeatedly showed up in chat without any of those she continued to joke and play with knowing she was often in a hospital bed, she got news that her father had suffered a stroke. Due to other circumstances she was unable to be by his bed so again I stayed up with her through the night while she waited to hear news. In the early morning she learned he had passed away.
And still Vertigo persevered with a positive spirit. Never have I known someone personally or online with such strength. During a brief respite from the symptoms she travelled to other countries and continued to experience life more fully in weeks than most people will in their life.
Which brings us to this last week. A week ago Monday Vertigo, Inbar, entered the hospital for what she was told would be the last time. Still she came into chat, positive and acting as if nothing was wrong. In private on skype she informed me she was ready for what was coming and was at peace. Meanwhile a limited few of her friends online knew and dreaded the inevitable.
On Sunday evening, October 25th, Inbar passed peacefully in her sleep. Her trials and tribulations finally behind her. We will not see Goddess Vertigo in chat again. And yes, I have cried over that fact.
I have been privileged to make some amazing friends while on Milo, besides Vertigo. I am a better person because of them and I try to give back as I have received. Vertigo was among the best of us. Quick with a joke, sexy as hell, kind to a fault even when others lashed out at her as some recently did, and positive and a fighter right to the very end. I will remember her this way and both online and in my own life, I will remain inspired by her and use the light she shone as an example to be, and an ideal to strive for.
Again, apologies for a somber post. Whatever is done with it, at least I know it was done. And in doing so, I have fulfilled the wishes of one of the most amazing and beautiful women I have ever known.
Thanks to all. Think good thoughts.

Sorry for your loss. If the mods have any heart, they will keep this up!
