I have a few friends online who I have never met. Being friends with someone that you have never met, is an interesting relationship.

One of my friends, is someone who I met on Flickr. (the photo program) He disappeared for awhile, when another Flickr friend mentioned that our friend was well. I was happy. I had missed him.

He and I have been friends for years now. Matilda writes letters to him during Camp Robi, and he shares photos of his dog. He is a published author, actor, and is one of the kindest people I have ever known.

On Monday, his beloved dog crossed the rainbow bridge. It was posted on Instagram and I understand completely. You can tell all of your friends the difficult news at the same time.

I sent a sad emoji, but on Tuesday I wrote a real note to him.

I think that a real letter of sympathy is much better than a social media comment. At least for Larry and myself. Don’t you love real handwriting, on wonderful paper? The letter was picked up yesterday and will be in Europe by next week.

I wish that the letter had a mini go-pro camera on it. Seeing the voyage on video would be so much fun….except…I would not like to intrude when my friend opens the letter.

Please have a good day. There is so much pain in the world right now. People need to feel the positive energy from someone special. I imagine that is you. Only awesome people read BLOG.

Love you beyond the moon.
