I love you, Bee.”
My Naya, my Snixxx, my Bee. I cannot legitimately imagine this world without you. 7 years ago today, she and I were together in London when we discovered Cory. We were so far away, but I was so thankful that we had met. A week ago today, we were talking about fleeing to Hawaii. It does not mean anything. And I know it probably never will. She was so independent and strong and the idea that she was not here is something I cannot understand. She was the brightest person I have ever met, with a memory of a steel trap that could recall verbatim the most forgettable conversations of ten years ago. The number of times she’d memorize all those crazy monologues on Glee in the morning and never spoil during the scene … I mean, she was clearly more talented than the rest of us. She was the most talented person I have ever known. There is nothing she could not do and I am furious that we cannot see more. I am grateful for all the ways in which she made me a better person. She taught me to defend myself and to defend the things and people that were important to me, always. I am grateful for the times when I have developed an ab muscle from laughing so hard at something she said. I am grateful that she became like a family. I am grateful that my father had met her weeks before me and when I had Glee, he told me to “look for a girl named Naya because she looked nice”. Well dad, she was nice and she became one of my favorite people. If you were lucky enough to know her, you will know that her most natural talent was to be a mother. The way she loved her boy was really Naya in her most peaceful state. I am grateful to Naya for having recovered this beautiful little boy on this boat. I am thankful that he will have a solid family around him to protect him and tell him about his incredible mom. I just hope more than anything that her family will have the space and time to come to terms with this. To have such a small body, Naya had such a gigantic presence, a void that will now be felt by all of us – those of us who knew her personally and the millions of you who loved her through your televisions. I love you, Bee.

It is strange to cry and mourn the loss of someone you have never known. But I grew up watching Glee and Naya Rivera was such a great talent. My heart breaks for her son.
