A lost of a dear friend

I had a nice friend who I never actually got to meet in person. I met her in YM (Yahoo Messenger) when I was in the Philippines and she was living in Vermont. Over time, we developed a friendship, even though we didn't we see each other in real life when we chatted online and on webcam. She was the bridge in my finding my life partner and that's a really big reason why she's very dear to me. Before I met my husband, Sonia tried to play matchmaker between her sister and my current husband but that didn't work out, although there were never bad words between her sister and my husband . Nonetheless, many people would be upset and not talk to that man again but Sonia, in her selfless way, decided to not be upset about that her sister not gaining a husband and decided to try and match me up to my current husband.

Even though I'm here in the USA, we still didn't have a chance to see each otherbecause we live very far apart, but we maintained constant communication through chat, friendster , texting and talking in the phone. Two months ago, she went to the Dr. because she had heart problems dating back many years--problems we prayed that one day an operation might fix. Much to our shock, the Dr. found out she have a liver problem. It was a liver cancer. The last time I spoke to her she told me she' felt weak and was waiting for the laser surgery. I tried to call her phone many times but nobody would answer the phone. One day her YM was on and I was so excited to chat, but her husband was the one I chatted for a few minutes on her YM account. He told me Sonia was dying. I don't know what to say.

Just while ago my hubby saw Sonia's YM was online, he chatted to her husband Kenny. He told us that Sonia had passed.

I just wish that we could have met in real life but even though we didn't, she will always remain in my heart. Maybe someday who knows, somewhere out there in the great beyond, we may meet oneday. While I am sad that such a warm, kind, young and loving womaan has died, a person who was like cupid's angel in my life and angelic tothers as well, we must accept this reality. We might not feel that life is fair and that it's hard to accept reality and I know she's happy now, no longer in pain and close to our Almighty.

She may rest in peace.
