:-( :-( :-(

I have been in a right old pickle thinking about how very sad Marilyn and Jonesey's loved ones must be feeling today.

Just now I had a thought..........

How wonderful and blessed am i, that these two people, who i have never, ever met in my real life.......can make me feel that way.

Yeah, i feel really good about that.

I can understand that feeling, I have met some truly lovely people on here who I have never met, yet we have become cyber friends.

I have also felt the sad loss of some fellow members.

It is as hard losing cyber friends/friends made on here as it is losing friends in real life. I was devastated when Daff died, she was one of the best friends I ever had. And i too feel so sad for Marilyn and Jonesy's families and privileged to have 'known' them on here. <3

I never thought I would get attached to people on GR,
but when Daff passed away I felt as though I had lost
a friend, never met her, there are several on here that
I have also never met but I look on them as my friends.

Thanks everyone.

I suppose that is the point i was trying to make.......

That we can feel just as emotionally connected with "Friends" we have never met before in "Cyber World" as we do with our friend in the "Real world"

I was fortunate enough to meet both Daff and Sparkling Sandie - fab people both of them and I managed t get to both funerals- met Jean and she was great too

Jonesey and Marilyn - felt I knew both of them too, though never met them in real life

Yes I met Daff many times and Jean once, sadly not Sandy or Marilyn and Jonesy, or any of those gone before and goodness aren't there sadly so many? I miss them all on here.

I know what you all mean - some of my cyber friends on here mean as much to me as those who are my 'real' friends. The ones I've met through GR mean even more and I would be devastated if . . . well you know.

Marilyn and Jonesey - we shall miss you <3
