at the effect the death of someone I never knew and probably would never have met has had on me...........as it obviously has had the same effect on a lot of us, just goes to show that you really don't have to meet someone face to face to feel like you know them and what their dreams were, maybe just talking to like minded people is enough to keep us all going when we need to believe.

yes Pauline, it's all very sad. Even though I haven't met most of you, I still feel like we're all part of some big family, and when we lose someone, it hits hard.
All we can do is enjoy what we have, and be thankful we wake up every morning. Keep that dream alive and just get out and do it!! It's making me rethink my life path. Maybe I should just get up the courage and resign, and bring our dream to reality earlier than planned.

Sometimes we hang on to reality far too long when we should reach for our dreams whilst they are within our grasp...........which is exactly what we did 3 days ago, it was time we stopped talking about it and just do it.

I still can't believe it.... ... and like you, Pauline, can't believe the effect it's having, specially as we only ever met here in cyberspace.
I find myself going back over her posts, and re-reading.

We certainly do make some wonderful friends on the Grey Nomads. Everyone who I have met I have enjoyed the encounter and look forward to our next meet.

Yes it is sad even though we only know someone through the computer. Elle always sounded so upbeat. Well the angels have her now & that's their good luck but our loss

Yes, I was surprised how upset I was too Pauline. Another reminder to live life fully, instead of procrastinating and making excuses.

I was so shocked to hear about Elle it taken me sometime to say anything. She never mentioned that she was ill even. RIP Elle. You will be missed.
