I’m a person who feels deeply. I’m careful to let people in, but when I do, it means something to me. Even for people I’ve known only online.

Over the past several years, various people who hold a soft place in my heart, have drifted in / out of my life. Some of those individuals ended friendship with me, and some I’ve ended friendship with them. Most days, I don’t think about the loss after the mourning / grieving process ended (does it ever, really?). But, there are some days I’ll think about them and long to get back in touch.

Right now, there’s an online friend I really want to reconnect with, but he’s completely disappeared off the Internet. (Some of you know him, he used to be on Fluther. Of course I won’t name him. Yes, I know this is irritating.)

I guess I just want to put it out there… on the Internet, I mean… as a whisper, hoping he’ll somehow hear that I miss him, that I hope he’s doing well, and that I wish we were still friends.

This is how I’m coping…
