And then this just bubbly, joyful, wonderful, like, sunshine as a person came into my inbox and offered me this absolute dream gig. NPR freelancer Amal El-Mohtar says that Petra reached out to her at a critical moment.ĪMAL EL-MOHTAR, BYLINE: I was at a really, really low point. As an editor, she was committed to searching out fresh, diverse voices as authors and reviewers. Prior to joining the NPR books team in 2012, she was an associate producer and director for this show, WEEKEND ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, and was a production assistant for Morning Edition and Weekend Edition Saturday. MARTIN: That's one reason books editor, Comic-Con enthusiast, baker, cat lover, or even one of her favorite words, nerd, cannot completely capture everything she brought to NPR. That was kind of her passion in life, I think. And all she wanted was to, like, find something that she loved that you would also love. And she loved talking to people about the things that she loved. HOLMES: She just loved the things she loved. MARTIN: That's Linda Holmes, one of the hosts of Pop Culture Happy Hour. LINDA HOLMES, BYLINE: You know, I loved having Petra on Pop Culture Happy Hour because she was a person whose enthusiasms were in all caps all the time. And I had to refresh my memory in order to prepare myself because I like to neurotically over-prepare for everything. PETRA MAYER: So yeah, I had read the books long ago, when I was a baby nerd. What'd you make of this adaptation, this very loose adaptation? GLEN WELDON: Petra, you've read these books. And she was a frequent guest on NPR's podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour. Petra's title was books editor on the Arts and Culture Desk. She died suddenly yesterday from an apparent pulmonary embolism.
Un passo più avanti.We'd like to take a few minutes now to tell you about one of our much-loved colleagues who left us all too soon, Petra Mayer. Ti ho amato per mille anni, ti amerò per altri mille anni. Un passo più avanti.Į per tutto il tempo, ho creduto che ti avrei trovato. Ogni respiro, Christina Perri - A Thousand Years - ogni ora, mi hanno portato qui. Io sarò coraggiosa, non lascerò che nessuno mi porti via quello che ho di fronte. La bellezza, in tutto quello che rappresenta. Tesoro, non avere paura, ti ho amato per mille anni, ti amerò per altri mille anni. Come posso amare, quando ho paura di soffrire? Ma mentre guardo te che stai da solo, tutti i miei dubbi, improvvisamente, svaniscono in qualche modo. Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this Christina Perri - A Thousand Years - Īnd all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
#Loved you for a thousand years how to#
The day we met Frozen, I held my breath Right from the start Knew that I'd found a home For my heart Beats fast Colours and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
