Today is 5 years since my lover, my best friend, my husband has passed away. I've never met anyone like him. He was kind, caring person, real gentleman... He was smart, intelligent, great person for living with... my soul mate, person you meet once in your lifetime (or never). I'm happy and proud that I was a part of his short life. And I'm very grateful to my dear friends who have helped me when I've needed help the most and who are always here when I need them. Today my kids and I live normal life as anyone else





<sup>...
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
...

I've recently lost a friend, actually his friendship. Without any explanation. I still don't know what happened and why he started to avoid me and I probably won't find out ever. Alexander Graham Bell once told "When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us". It's so true, instead of looking upon open doors, I'm still looking at that closed door hoping that somehow it will open once in the future. But I know it won't happen. I survived much worse things in my life. So, open doors, here I come.



At the end, I would like to thank you all who participated in my poll. Thank you so much for your answers. I've learned a lot. I realized that love is not an option even in RL, not to mention in virtual life. But I'm happy to see how many people found their soul mates in that way. Good luck to you all and I wish you, once again, many love and happiness in your lives.
