This will be a very difficult blog for me today. I found out one of my best online friends passed away last Thursday night. Because we were cyberfriends, it took awhile to get notice but her husband called me this afternoon.
You may know her as well. She's MatchboxGinny and has posted on the blog under that name or Tree. You all know how close we can all be even though we don't 'see' each other. I texted her daily. She sent me the best memes and just fun stuff. I knew when Denise Alexander passed and she didn't text me right away, something was wrong.
Ginny (as I called her) was warm, funny and didn't suffer any fools. We bonded greatly in 2016 and it just went from there. She was my partner in crime on Twitter and now Blue Sky. My heart is broken. It was very unexpected and I'm still a bit stunned. Her husband told me to post because he knew people would be wondering about her.
Ginny loved her neighbor's cat Wanda, a great margarita and always had the right thing to say when I needed it most. She'd cheer on the Bills even though she was a New England fan and we'd text during games.
Trying to explain how someone impacts you online is difficult to those that aren't on social media like we are. I know you all understand how much my heart hurts at the moment.
I will post a shell for you to use for today's show but I'll need a minute to just not deal with GH for a bit. It was "our" show and ...I need a moment.
Thank You.

thank you
DeleteYes we all know Matchbox Ginny! SO sorry!!! I think you should do a special blog and tell us how you first 'met' and the stories that you both 'hated and loved'.....
ReplyDeleteI did post a photo today from our 'archives' -- She HATED Carly and was pretty vocal about it most of the time. We used an old Billy Miller as Jason photo for years as our phone IDs to each other because it was so hysterical. I'll have to try to dig it up
DeleteI think I like Ginny even more now knowing she hated Snarly.
DeleteAnother one who enjoyed reading Matchbox Ginny's comments. I'm so sorry.

DeleteI just can't wrap my head around this!!! I'm so sorry Karen! *BEARHUGS*
ReplyDeletethx Sonya, I know you knew her from Twitter and BlueSky!
DeleteI too read Matchbox Ginny and agreed with her and laughed along side her. Life is too short.
ReplyDeleteyou're so right
DeleteSo very sorry to hear about Ginny, I read her too. My condolences to you and her family. I just adored her posts, as I usually agreed with her.
ReplyDeleteThat pic of Carly is hilarious, I love it!
We have a lot of photos we'd use from GH to text each other LOL
DeleteI'm sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed Ginny's comments. Life can be so random, so enjoy every precious moment.
