Tet, and Rocks thanks so much for this. It came at a time when I needed it the most. I’m so touched. This poem is indeed a good summary of how cyber friends are. It’s nice to know that you do consider me your friend and likewise I do too. Here’s hoping we’ll see each other and meet up someday. Who knows when that someday will be? It can be years from now or it can be in a few months. You’ll never know.  By the way, I’m a perennial rule breaker with regards to tags, so please bear with me.

This tag is not intended to bring out regrettable, sad memories from the past that we no longer want to reminisce. This is just a sort of emotional check on how do we respond as mature individuals not only to those events that brought our lives so much joy and and bliss but likewise to those we consider the most tragic incident that we personally encountered or those news stories that we have watched on television that somehow affects our sensitivities.

Tag starts here: (copy & paste)

(1) Optional: Make a little introduction about the tag
(2) Pick and upload a photo of what you consider is the most tragic event that you ever had/heard or watched
(3) Express what made that event the most painful one for you
(4) Tag along those people whom you think who would likely be interested to respond and
(5) let them know that this tag is entirely optional.

Lynn, I picked Hurricane Katrina. Getting reminded of that horrible day in 2005, is too much to bear. Knowing the devastating loss of lives, and properties of hundreds of thousands of people makes me realize how short life can be, and that no matter how much we try to be ready, we’re powerless when natural tragedy strikes.
