My heart is broken a thousand times. My sweetpea, MrP has deactivated her account, permanently she says.

When I 1st came to marapets she was one of my very 1st friends. I would have never come this far without her generosity and more importantly her friendship.

We connected and chatted for hours on end here on Mara then on other social medias.

I dont know a kinder soul. A genuine person full of hope and sometimes self doubt.

Her modesty of her own greatness kept her grounded and sweet.

Her heart was open to just be a friend of Epic proportions.
Although I am old enough to be her mother, we just became so close through mara.

Those who say real friendships can not happen on the internet honestly do not know what friendship is.

I will miss her name popping online on my friends list, but I will never forget her impact on my Maraplaying and mostly her just being the Sweetest Pea in all of Marada.

In loving memory of Absolutnormal
And in honor of our dearest friend/sister....Gutterxflower

I survived. The first Thanksgiving, our 25th anniversary, Christmas eve and Christmas day without you.
I survived. Barely. After I spent the 1st 3 weeks of December knitting 7 hat and scarves for our great nieces and nephews. I finished Addi's Afghan. I baked cookies, breads and made candy for all their stockings. I made the fudge I would never let you have. I kept myself very busy doing all the normal things I would do at Christmas. I survived. But I slept our anniversary away. I slept thru Christmas eve and Christmas day. Someone woke me long enough to watch the kids open gifts and I retreated to my room to forget it was all happening without you in your chair. I tried baby. Now new years eve is upon us. I don't want to start a new year without you. How can I? .....
