Lots of bloggers stop blogging for many reasons. They may actually have a job and blogging has cut into their free time, or they just get fed up with it. Some run out of things to say.
I found out Monday, finally emailing her husband on Facebook, that Kay Davies is in long-term care in the memory ward. Since May 1st, this year. We were Facebook friends, too, and several of her friends posted on her FB wall, asking where she is, there was no reply. I was so shocked. With all that is going on, I just didn't have the heart to ask until now.
Kay was a faithful visitor to my blog, but she stopped blogging in 2018. As her friends watched, she began having issues posting on Facebook. I could tell something was happening to her. She had problem with meds, and her computer skills declined. It was so sad.
We met Kay in Vancouver one year. We had breakfast at the airport: Vancouver airport - where bloggers can meet in transit! Memories and photos are what we can hold to our weary hearts.
This reminds me of when our blog friend and her husband, *In mourning for a fellow blogger: Tina, AKA EG*, were killed in an incident with a dump truck. People ask, there is no response from people in the know. They don't have anyone who takes down the blog, or informs friends.
I've told my kids where my passwords are kept. I shall give them instructions on first posting the information on my situation, if I am still blogging, and subsequently taking down the blog.
Social Media has saved me both in this pandemic, and managing to give me some virtual friends, as well as support. For that I am grateful.
