Why?
Reading of the passing of Bag*** last night made me so sad and tearful
and i dont understand why it hit me so hard, as it certainly has.
When i started posting in SiSu i used to read her posts that were
usually posted early in the morning before her walk around the Loch, and
i smiled

at her use of the dialect and my attempt to understand it. In fact i told
other RL friends about it and her, and every day i looked forward to
reading her words and missed them when she was away for some reason.
Her descriptive prose brought through to me a warmth and her love of
animals, countryside, food/cooking to a degree where i often thought i
*was*

walking with her around the Loch because her writing brought to my mind
pictures so real that even though i had never met her i could visualise
it all.
I didnt know she was so ill but thought something was stopping her
posting.

It brings to me how some people that i have got to know in posting and
possibly not met in RL i truly look on as friends just as if they are in
my RL

and i dont know how that can be, its all VR isnt it?. I suppose it shows
that without any knowledge at all of the real Bag***, what she looks
like, how old she is/was i could feel her humour, a love of life and her
warmth towards people just like me when she responded to my posts about
Meg etc

I started to write this as a method to try and understand why her
passing has hit me so hard to try and find an answer and i dont think i
have and i will go on wondering.

Shall i post this ? it would expose my emotions and i do tend to avoid
that , its why sometimes i dont post as much as i used to.

Tatty Bye Bag***, RIP and rest without pain. Condolences to all who knew
her and of course her family.

Len, if you cannot share your feelings with your friends - who can you
share them with?
Like you I enjoyed reading Bag*** every morning, I did know she was ill,
and I did miss her morning posts, also the posts that she made when she
was 'retiring to her beanbag'. I got quite used to deciphering her
outpourings and really enjoyed them as others did.

I guess it is the sad part of our lives that as we all get older we lose
people that we have got to know. Whether in real life or virtual as it is
in here - makes no difference, they are all people we have got to know,
grown used to, admired and laughed and cried with.
When one falls by the wayside it hits us badly - I suppose that is part of
life. To take the sadness along with the joy.

Len you have written what I too have been feeling.
