You already know how much I love me some Golden Girls, and yesterday's passing of Estelle Getty is bittersweet. She was the youngest of the four, certainly ironic as she was playing Dorothy's mother, but in one of those Alannis Morissette ways, like the character she is remembered for, she has spent the last several years suffering from an age-related brain condition. Sundry recently tweeted that she was having a hard time feeling bad about Estelle's death and I have to say, I agree. I don't feel sad at all. Having gone through the pain of watching as my grandmother disappeared, bit by bit, over the process of a decade, Estelle has gone through enough confusion and misery. I would feel selfish to do anything but celebrate her life and the million times she made me laugh.

So let's take a minute and enjoy her comedic stylings once more and if you feel like applauding (or crying), you go right ahead.
