I was thinking of an old blogging friend this morning, before blogging we had been pen pals. I never met the dear lady in person, but I felt I knew her and her family. Then she fell off the face of the planet. She often had connection problems, so I didn't think anything of it, at first.
I tried calling her apartment, no answer - more puzzling as a weeks passed and the phone said it was no longer in service. I stupidly assumed that she had gone to spend the holidays with one of her sons or had moved and was very busy. As time went by with no word, I tried calling her sister's number and one of her sons.
Time marches on. I would think about her and try checking the obits. I couldn't find anything so I figured she was out there, somewhere, happily doing her crafts. Today, I was thinking about her and looked again at the obits. Sadly, she had passed away the day after her last post. Now, I know, now it hurts. It hurts more than thinking she was too busy for me. I feel guilty for even considering that.
So sorry that you had to learn of a friends passing this way.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you.

So good to see you back, Sharon. We've missed you.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your blogging friend. We may never meet the people we call friends but good friendships can still happen online and to lose one is sad.
I’m so very sorry for your loss
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard, we all think one way to find out it wasn’t the case at all
But we are human
Don’t be too hard on yourself
Sending hugs xx
I am so very sorry. Our blogging friends become very precious.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were finally able to learn what had become of your friend but sorry for the reality. We do consider many possibilities when abruptly we stop hearing from a friend.
ReplyDeleteOh Sharon, so sorry... :-( I think of certain blogging friends often and it is sad when they disappear... I have been thinking of you lately. I'm reading a good book I think you might like and I will pass it along to you if you are interested. Will message you on facebook.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fear, that something will happen to a blog bud and we won't know it.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, Sharon:)
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. That would really hurt. I'm happy to see you back tho. I've been checking. Can't believe I missed this post. I hope you'll keep writing. Hugs to you from Idaho. <3
