Bloggers Without a Goodbye

Have you had a blogger you enjoyed reading, even got to know through email, who just disappeared one day? The blog taken down so there wasn't a thing left but what you remember. Strange when they do that isn't it? Makes me feel none of it ever really mattered.

It is different when someone has died. The blog just stays idle and eventually disappears if it's not on Blogger or one of the other free sites which keep everything.

Monique is posting about this. Was nice to read about other bloggers who have experienced and thought about mysteriously missing friends.

If Skye reads this... I still think of you.

I said this over on her blog too but yes, I've been there too many times to count. It is pretty sad and I hope they're all happy :) Liking the new layout Laura!

And I still think of you. I especially thought of you when I saw a picture of one of those pixie girls you like so much in an antique store last month.

I'm sorry for not sticking around or for communicating with you in some other way. Life has a way of changing, as do we. I'm not in a place in my life where I can be here regularly, nor be the kind of friend you deserve.

Be well.

I've found that readers come and go. Some do disappear, but lots come and go. Strange isn't it. Have a great day. :)

It just doesn't make sense to ivvest all of the time to write a blog and build a readership just to delete it like that. I find it heartbreaking and wonder what happened to the author to make them stop speaking out.

One of the sad things about the Internet is that it is forever evolving, moving on, and just plain changing.

I think back over the last 17 years I have spent on the Internet and all the changes I have seen, and some of it is very sad.

Any more with me, it's just a part of life.

That hasn't happened to me but it would make me very sad :(
