And such a loss is understandably just as difficult as any other loss of a loved one.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-90314960077275702092010-02-17T16:35:16.944-05:002010-02-17T16:35:16.944-05:00I totally agree with Suldog as there are so many b...I totally agree with Suldog as there are so many bloggers that have become like family to me - people whose lives are so much a part of mine now that I would be desolate to lose any of them. <br /><br />Sometimes I think that we actually get to know people even better through blogging than we would if we shared an office with them as people just seem to be more open when they blog.

And I don't know why I put that in quotation marks, either - we <i>are</i> family, in the nicest sense of that word.<br /><br />In any case, I can think of 15 bloggers, without any effort at all, for whom I would shed heavy tears if they were no longer with us. I'm sure the actual number is much higher and I'm just forgetting some family members whom I shouldn't have...<br /><br />In any case, I'm sorry.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
