BLOGROLLS

1983 Janey in Disneyland

My mouse got to browsing an old blogging friend’s bookmark list this morning.  Perhaps I was missing my old friends after Jim’s death.  Most were not blogging anymore.  Sometimes a family member made a note that their father, mother, or sister had died.  Other times they had just vanished.  Their last entry would be dated many years in the past.

John, one of the first of the elder bloggers I knew just faded away.  One day he told us he had nothing to say.  In his last entry, I’m still here, he told us.  So is Graham, he added.  Nothing more.  He helped me so much, and I wish I knew what happened.

Yes, so many of my friends out here in real life have died.  Janey died of breast cancer, so did Jo.  I know what happened to them.  Ronnie, with the most intensive blogroll, has been busy with her own cancer has let her blogroll go.  I’m reminding you to check yours.  I’m reminding me to check mine.  Perhaps most of my links are still good.

  • Himself:  Working on this holiday.
  • Herself:Have a lunch meeting at the store.  Feeling better every day.  It’s 50 degrees out there with rough wind gusts.  I didn’t go to the pool.
  • Gratitude’s:  So grateful for feeling better.

I’m not familiar with Blogrolls, but the passing of friends I know. It’s hard, isn’t it?

My fiance is from Southern CA, he grew up a block away from Disneyland. A couple years ago when we went there he showed me where those skybucket things used to be. I am always fascinated when I see photos of the park from the past. Made even more poignant by the loss of your friends.
