Online friends gone missing... you try to get in touch and...nothing. Later, email saying friend died....
People almost always assume another has just left and that's it. But...some people, you just know they wouldn't do that to you and others... Today, I got an email that a missing friend passed away. There are so many people that will feel this and miss him so very much. Try not to take your online friends for granted.

Real connections are made here and online. We share stories, and hopes and aspirations. We laugh, complain, and even argue. The loss is real and we grieve.
It is a new kind of connection for me, and a different type of grieving. I'm left not knowing quite what to do. There is no funeral to attend, nor memorial service. Just quiet memories. Hopefully a smile or two thinking about them. The connections we make, on line or in real life, enrich our lives. I'm thankful for all of them.

@bowman81 We have to learn to say goodbye in different ways. I'm not sure I have found a way that works for me yet. Where many only see accounts, I see potential friends and it's hard when they are no longer around.
