it is a sad sad day

1 minute read time.

Well, today is a sad sad day, and I dont know where to go or what to do, so thought I would try and blog it out. Trouble is I dont even know what to say. I have lost a truly wonderful friend, who I really really cared about. Strange how people on here can mean so much to you even though you never actually meet. The thing is out of everyone on here, although I love you all to absolute pieces, I think my beautiful Kath was someone who could kind of really understand some of the issues we were facing. How truly awful it is to wake up one day and realise that the life you had always planned on having is no longer possible. That being only a fraction of what she was facing, yet she always looked out for me. It was so good to have someone around who just knew what you meant, i mean really understood without you having to explain. Those people are rare. And yes I have so many wonderful friends still here in mac, but I will miss this one. Just feel a little lost, it was just so sudden. I just wished I had of taken more time to tell her how much she meant to me, and how since meeting her she inspired to live life with more grace, courage and compassion.

So I guess, as life is too short, I want to say a huge thankyou to all my mac friends. You are wonderful and I know I havent met you face to face, but I think of you often and my life is far better off having met you all. You may not feel like you make that much difference but YOU DO. You make a difference in my life. You make my life better, and for that I am truly thankful.

So I guess I will take a few days to be sad for you my beautiful friend, but don't worry I will be up fighting again soon enough.

    I know how you feel Robynn, I lost a friend on here 2 years ago and she meant the world to me also and we had never met. It is so hard some times to deal with what happens to our friends but you know love, we are richer people for having them as true friends even for a short time. I have many friends on here, many of them I shall never meet but i would be lost without them, they have carried me through more than they will ever know. Kath would have known how much you cared for her my lovely. Take care...love Carol xx

    Yes its so true even though you havnt met some one Face to Face. Yet they have helped you in every way, being there for you caring and understanding you. You lost a very close friend and

    after what she had been through for this to happen,

    Life is just not fair especially to the very nice people.

    May Kath rest in Peace.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

  • As is often said its a community that no one wants to join. But its one of the best I have come across and especially so given many of us never have met and never will, but we all have people who we look out for having made that connection.

    take care and stay strong

    I agree totally with everyone. I have never met anyone face to face, but consider everyone on here to be an extension of my family and friends.

    Considering the adversity a lot of people suffer there is so much love and support on here it is easy to see why it is so important to a lot of people.

    May Kath rest in peace. I'm sure she will be sorely missed by those who got to know her well.

    Love to everyone.  Christine xx
