Internet Friends
by Patricia Parkinson
While you're reading this post I will be in the United States. I'm going away for the weekend to finally meet my girlfriends, my girlfriends that write, and are very good at it.
We have known each other for...three years? I met these women here, on the internet. The same way I met the members of our collective, and hopefully you, the person reading this blog. We are getting to you know each other virtually. We are friends, friends who don't see each other or hear each other's voices, yet I feel we know each other better as we touch through our words. Thank you for being my friends, for taking the time to get to know me. I hope that some of my words have touched you.
These are the remarkable women I'll be with this weekend. I am in awe. I am inspired. I am grateful.

Have a great time Patricia! (fixed your links)
thanks honey, we're hanging out in our jammies having coffee chatting, having the best time...xoxoxo
Ha! I used to live my life by what Mary Tyler Moore would do. I lived in Minnesota for seven years. Enjoy!
I'd have to agree with you that friendships started on the net can be, in many ways, more honest and profound than relationships developed in the traditonal way. I don't think you could have gone too far wrong with this group sweetie. Thanks to you gals for being such gracious hosts and people. By the way, I'm coming next time!!!!!!!
Feeling lonely, are you, Phil? You sound like a nice guy.
It was great! What a fun and talented group! Patricia, there is nobody like you, darlin...

Beautiful writing, Patricia, and you are an absolutely lovely woman. I think Phil is right, some internet relationships are pure and true, because you really get to know each other without worry about appearance, without other stuff in the way. It's just all good.
