What a beacon of light your friend was, and will be forever in your heart. I treasure my online friends and in some ways have deeper relationships with them because I can be freely me without being censored. I don't have to try to anticipate a look or an eye roll or any of the physical attributes I would see sitting across the table from a friend. I can be honest and sincere and free. If I write something to someone and they aren't in the frame of mind to read it just then, they can come back to it when they are ready. That's a gift to me. If I'm having a particularly hard day, I know I can come online and read something from a friend, or write something to someone in my one time frame and with raw emotion. It's really kind of cool to know that there is a world out there where no one has seen me up close and personal, but cares about me anyway and will have my back if I reach out. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-19399143625774556842012-09-27T21:55:12.590-04:002012-09-27T21:55:12.590-04:00Kala mai. :(Kala mai. :(Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704469867788218608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-11783350061327601222012-09-27T18:14:21.003-04:002012-09-27T18:14:21.003-04:00I'm so sorry for your loss!

We can (and do) achieve that just as easily online as in real life. Except the hugs aren't as good online. (I'm leaving Sunday to spend a week with mostly online friends. We'll likely pick up right where we left off two years ago when we last met.)<br /><br />As for the teaser, I have no idea. It looks like drips of silver paint on my screen.Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-67635120524197053082012-09-27T12:10:37.346-04:002012-09-27T12:10:37.346-04:00Mrs.,

We need more people like that in the world, not less. Glad you were able to connect with her though and that you can continue on knowing that she made an impact in your life, and most likely vice versa. <br /><br />I've never lost a blogger, but I have to say that I do have several online people that I consider friends and hope to meet someday. If I lost any of them, it would be exactly that - a definite loss. I get to meet one of my blogging heroes next month when she comes to San Diego for a book signing - Kelle Hampton! And if I EVER get the chance to meet and hang out with you and the Mr., we could definitely talk non-stop about 80's awesomeness, childhood toys, Dexter and so much more! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477548540626948283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-77392011495106730482012-09-27T10:59:28.138-04:002012-09-27T10:59:28.138-04:00That was a beautiful description if her.

And yes I value my online relationships every bit if not more because of what we share. The picture is on my tiny phone but it looks like footprints in sand....I'm so sorry you are sad and lost a lovely friend.

But I didn't cry. I did cry for a friend from high school who passed away this summer, although I had not seen her in many years. And I cried for my ex-husband's passing in late July, surprisingly. You wrote a beautiful tribute, dear, and I would guess that your friend valued your friendship as much as you did.<br /><br />I value some of my online friendships as much and sometimes more than offline. It seems that the relative anonymity allows one to more fully share oneself, and that is very cathartic. There are some online friends that, if I ever met them in person, I would rush in for a hug though we've never really met before. You are one of them...hope you're a hugger!<br /><br />I think your picture is of bubble gum, or something like it, putty or grout maybe, stuck on the bottom of a shelf. <br /><br />Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296750630075402269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-32658935262819598582012-09-27T09:59:22.466-04:002012-09-27T09:59:22.466-04:00Your blog made me cry!

At first that felt very strange. Even now sometimes I want to ask one of them something and am so disappointed when I realize I can't.<br /><br />I have had the experience of googling a few long-lost relatives and finding a link to their obit, much to my surprise. Even if their death was quite some time ago, it bothered me. I guess that's not unusual, but it just seemed strange to be freshly mourning someone who had been gone for several years.<br /><br />I hope your friend is with her little Beagle somewhere. I LOVE Beagles!<br /><br />I have no idea what that picture is....kinda reminds me of the outline of the top of two teeth.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-87865958750584715722012-09-27T09:04:56.221-04:002012-09-27T09:04:56.221-04:00I am sorry about the loss of ur friend:(....
