Here we are again, dear Ms. Linmey. I always love reading your posts. Being unable to get around easily has put me mostly in touch with my friends online.

I think the most important thing you brought up was not blaming anyone but yourself. That has been a major concern regarding my life. I cannot and will not blame anyone for anything or any decisions I've made. By now I've lost as many friends through death as I have by relocating quite often. Looking for some online has been mostly a failure.

Since moving to California I've met only one person who became my friend 22 years ago and is still my best friend. Everyone else is online, most as delightful as you.

That's all I have for today. Stay you!

Richard

Jo, this is such a lovely and poignant piece. And I value my connection to you, through Tanya. You always have something to bring to the journalling sessions and I always find your writing so thought provoking and authentic. I think you are right to acknowledge and honour your grief, when you are ready, I am sure there are many new connections waiting for you, and your gorgeous dogs xxx
