The internet has been part of my daily life for many years but not like it is now. I never envisaged that 10 months ago my world would open up to the most amazing people and that true friendships would envelop me know end. I once read that "you meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friends’". The people I have met via the internet (EB in particular) - they know who they are - are wonderfully supportive; incredibly generous; open hearted; funny; caring; wise and witty.
They make me laugh, cry and feel good about myself. They cheer me up when I am down and provide support when it is so needed. Whilst I have never met these lovely ladies, I consider them my true friends. Their support, advice and well being often means more to me then my ‘generic’ friends.
I feel incredibly blessed to have met such wonderful people and for that I am so very grateful. I found this poem that sums up my feelings in no uncertain terms. This is a tribute to my cyber friends...

My husband has finally gone to work
My children have finished their play
they've gone to bed their stories read
Now it's my time of day.
I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.
I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.
My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.
And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.
We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.
So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.
