(27,985 posts)We live in interesting times that I am not sure everyone completely understands. Relationships and friendships can be formed with people over the internet who you may never see face to face or whose voice you never actually hear. Those who have never had the privilege of such relationships may not fully understand the depth. But, make no mistake, these bonds, friendships, relationships are just as real as the more traditional. When you communicate with someone almost exclusively through written word, I think that both parties choose their words differently. You have a chance to re-read what you wrote before you hit send or post. You have the opportunity to re-read what the other person wrote to help you understand what they were trying to convey. And, today for me, the greatest gift is that I still have years and years of messages, stories, words of support and some of the funniest shit I have ever heard in my life. Jesus Christ, the man was funny.
