Do you consider online friends as you do your “physical “ friends?

Yes. My feelings for someone do not depend on my proximity to them. I love my Dad, and he's in heaven. I love my brother, and he's on the other side of the country. And I dearly love someone on the other side of the ocean. Meanwhile, in my first marriage, I never felt so alone. It's not the distance, it's the care, respect, trust, and communication between people that matters.
