Online Friends Make an Impression Too – Jezzy

 It amazes me how much even online friends can touch our lives.  Maybe because many of us write the intimate details of our thoughts and lives.  We find others, share our support, feel happiness and sadness as our lives meander on the paths we have chosen.   I know I’ve connected with others I would have never had a chance of meeting otherwise through journaling and other sites.  

Sometimes life moves on and it’s difficult to do the things we did before.  I certainly know how difficult it is for me to write regularly and catch up on all those I used to follow. That doesn’t mean I don’t think of them.  I imagine their lives moving on just as mine do and hoping for a positive life that brings them happiness.  Others move on too and although it’s sad not to see the updates, I wish them well and happiness.  

I was going through old entries last night and looking up old favorites.  I was thinking of one just recently because we started to exchange Christmas cards after John was born.  She was so sweet by sending the kids small handmade ornaments. I love them and I hang them on our small tree in the living room and I think of her each year as I pull out the ornaments.

Just as my entries became infrequent, so did hers.  It has actually been awhile since she wrote – the middle of 2009.  I figured her life had moved on.  I stopped by a couple times hoping to see a new entry.  I went back last night and saw the last note on her last entry.  Someone also thought of her and did some checking.  Sadly, her checking brought about sad news.  She had passed away in October of 2009.  She was only 41.  I was sad that it was only now that I learned.

The news brought sadness to my heart but she’ll live on in my heart.  And I will think of her each year when I pull out those little ornaments she sent my kids.  Goodbye Jezzy68. I hope you have found peace.
