Yesterday I went to visit a blog I had been visiting for some time. I had not seen anyone post there the last several times I went but I crossed my fingers and dropped by anyway, hoping to read something from this cyber friend who I had grown to like quite well since I started blogging a little over a year ago.
I clicked on it and got, "not found". My heart sank. What happened to her, I wondered. Is she ill, or did something worse happen to her? I am hoping that what happened to her is that she just got too busy to blog any more and is now leading an exciting life as a published author. That was her dream. I hope she is living her dream. I really do cause she is just a great person and deserved the very best life has to offer.
I feel that way about many of he people I meet in this land of cyberspace. A few I know have passed on because their relatives were kind enough to email me and tell me what has happened to them and I am always saddened by the loss of a wonderful friend.
I bet many others feel that sense of loss when they click on the page of a blogger and get 'not found'. Those who do not blog or chat on the net cannot understand how attached we can get to those who reach out across cyber space to talk to us and help us thru many of life's circumstances. Many times it is those in cyber land that I have turned too for advice when I could not talk to people in real life.
I hope the friend who is in the land of Not Found now, is happy and living life to the fullest. I wish her the very best but I do miss her............

Isn't it amazing the "friends" we make here, and the comfort level we find that is so warm and enticing? I dread encountering a 'not found' at some point.
I agree. I know that sinking feeling when another blogger disappears. Wild, isn't it?
Leesa and wendy........many do not understand the closeness I feel for some who are cyber friends but I can often tell them things I do not tell others in real life and, yes, I do feel a loss.
