R.I.P
It is a truly unique friendship that we all share. Online communities spend a lot of time together, you get to know the person behind the screen. You share jokes and sometimes your biggest feelings.
What's unique is you may not have ever seen this person. Never looked into their eyes and gave them a hug. But what you do know is that you would fly halfway around the world to help them out.
So you will be missed and everyone is the better for knowing you
You are so right about this...It truly is amazing how close of a bond you can form with others you haven't physically met. But due to the walls I think many of us put up in person I bet many of us know each other better then if we knew each other in "real life".
