Bloggers are an odd bunch. What would possess someone to put their lives, their thoughts, their feelings, their deepest secrets out there for the whole world to read? Sounds insane doesn't it? How about someone who participates in a blog-inspired institution known as HNT? Since it takes a special kind of insanity to want to blog it's only natural that bloggers meet other bloggers through cyberspace and often make a connection just as strong as a chance meeting in a bar. These cyberspace based relationships are just as powerful as the traditional face to face relationships with all the included drama, bonding, anxiety, hate, friendship, and sometimes even love. I "met" Melanie (aka Stealth) years ago through her blog. Obviously my first reaction was how beautiful she is. Being a red blooded man I couldn't help but notice how sexy as well and the HNT posts every week proved it. While I read her blog she read mine and that's how the friendship started. When my marriage crumbled we were able to compare notes and have a conversation that made me feel better about the future. I understand she had a hard time and wandered around a bit. She would call me and tell me a few things. One night she called to tell me she was dying. It broke my heart to hear what had happened. Sadly I couldn't have been much help. Over time things seemed to be improving. She was engaged to be married and she had a job. I hadn't heard from her in months until I got the news yesterday. My heart sank. I will miss that spunky wit, that creative spirit, and her sweet voice. Rest in Peace Melanie and may you be a guardian angel to your precious children!
Well done Jason.
