It can be a powerful journey being friends online, they often disappear at times only to return and the friendship goes on, many years go by and you never meet in person, but the love and sharing is the same as if they were were right with you.
To my friend Calpurnia, passed Dec 3, 2019 of natural causes. you will be missed,
I’m sorry for your loss. I have a lot of internet friends (pretty much exclusively) and they really do mean the world to me. It’s wild how much you can grow to love someone without ever meeting them in person.
