For as long as I've been blogging, I visited her blog so much that I thought everyone knew it -- much like a child thinks everyone knows his teacher. LOL.<br /><br />Wasn't that video cool and cute?

I am very happy that you enjoy your visits to my cyber-home, even learning something from my ramblings. LOL. I am always happy to see you pop up here.<br /><br />Talli :<br />When I think of blogging, I think of VR. She was the standard I held myself up to. I will look for her on Facebook and Twitter, but I lead such a hectic life with my duties as a rare blood courier and writing my novels and blog, I seldom get to go those places. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting and caring enough to stay and talk. It means a lot. Come again, RolandRoland D.

Thanks for having me be thankful that VR is leaving only her blog, not her life. <br /><br />Wendy :<br />I believe you are right -- VR needs time for writing and living her own life. I wish VR well also.<br />Have I told you lately how much your friendship means to me? <br /><br />Sarah :<br />You're right. I know all too well the pain of being the one left behind. And your friendship is very special to me as well!<br /><br />Tricia :<br />Yes, Neil is awesome to do it for so long -- but then he also has a staff to help him as well. For the rest of us poor mortals, it is just the right and left hands for aids! LOL. <br /><br />It broke my heart to see VR go as well. But she is on Facebook and Twitter -- yet it is not the same.<br /><br />Terry :<br />You and me both, friend!Roland D.

She's an amazing person and will be missed. :(<br />I've watched other people depart, too. It does take time to keep up a blog, but I try to enjoy it, not let it stress me.<br />I'm astounded that Neil Gaiman has kept a regular blog for more than a decade and still produces tons of books, TV scripts and more.

The saddest but most uplifting post I've ever read (if that makes any sense" was a click over to a blogger I didn't know to read "My Last Post." This lady was so grateful for the life she had lived - and spoke so eloquently about the joys in her life - that the day I lived took on new meaning. I still offer up prayers for her, as a thank you for the gift of life she left us with.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-59579787040480486342011-11-12T16:59:23.960-06:002011-11-12T16:59:23.960-06:00Theresa :

If it isn't teens, vampires, werewolves, or Regency romances -- you are rejected, despite the quality of your prose. <br /><br />I will miss her.

Not that she has to - but it's very sad for all her followers and bloggie buddies. I wish her all the best.<br /><br />I'm sure she'll appreciate this really sweet clip too.
