Can we be really friends online?
I think so. In the almost two years I'm online it happened sometime (four that I can remember) that something really bad happened in the life of one of my online friends.
I always am at lost in this event, what can I do? obviously you send a mail, you say I'm thinking at you, but it always seems to little to do. Above all when what happened to your friend is so similar to what happened to yourself. I lost my father to cancer and that experience will always remains with me, and when the same thing occurs to my friends, it happens to me again for a moment.
Online you have the chance to meet a lot of people, and usually you exchange happy emails in which your life seems always an happy heaven. If something bad occurs, it remains with you, or maybe to post a memo saying to your friends that you are fine, but you need time. And it's true, and it's right.
Yesterday I had a bad feeling for one of my friend online; he didn't act as usual, him that is a so kind and big heart man. So I ask around to common friends, since I unfortunately suspected what it was happening, and all my worst suspects were real. Since he was a so gentle man, he replied to my condolonce mail, and I know that he will face this event and that he will be again with us soon.
With this my post I want to let him know that I'm really thinking at him, it's not only a standard thing you say in these events. I feel for you William, you are one of the best friend I made online.

One I'm married to now; we met in an online fantasy roleplaying game and would never have gotten together if it hadn't been for that online friendship.
Online friendships are just like real life -- they can be deep or shallow, depending on the people involved and how involved the people get. :)
I hope your friend is doing okay. [hugz]
