In Loving Memory Of My Friend COMMODOREII

I've been on GAG for 11 years. In those 11 years I've seen 3 users passing away. I wasn't familiar with 2 of them, but I felt sad when I saw posts about their death. I know that for some of you GAG is just place to share your thoughts, to chat with strangers, to vent, to post dumb things or even to troll šŸ™„

To me GAG is much more than that. It's a place where I found my voice, where I share my beliefs, where I see what others think and where I make friends. Some of the friends I met are no longer here and I don't what happened to them, but others are still part of my life after so many years. You might think it's strange to build a friendship with someone you met online, someone you don't know if they're being honest with you but it happens to some us. Some users are able to create true connections with others. In some cases, they even met in person. I met one of my GAG friends in person in 2019 and it was great to see that our friendship was real. I still want to meet him more times when the pandemic is over.

However, sometimes life doesn't give us time to meet our friends in person. Life takes away people we love too soon. And now life took away one of my deepest friends on GAG, Chris. Some of you might have had interacted with him, his username was COMMODOREII. He was an active user and for those who knew him, he was fighting against his health issues. But he was so full of life, so optimistic and so caring. He was also funny, open-minded, intelligent, cultured, family orientated and he loved his friends. My heart aches while I'm writing these words. I can't even count how many times I cried today and how shocked was when I found out about his passing.

He had so many dreams, so many plans, a whole life planned. He wanted to get on his feet again, he wanted to LIVE and to LOVE. I don't understand why he had to die so soon, why did he have to die when he was such an amazing human being. He was only 41 and I know that he wanted to grow old, he wanted more from life.

There are no enough words to express my pain, my sadness and the emptiness that I'm feeling now. I'm so sorry I didn't have time to be with him, to hug him, to do all of the things we planned. I'll never know how his life would turn out to be if he had time to become the person he desired to be. He was only in my life for a year, but that year was so intense, he taught me so many things, he made me feel great and he challenged my views.

I need time to recover from this, time to heal. I'll never know how it would feel if we actually met but I do know that I'm so grateful for having the opportunity of meeting him. For feeling his presence even though he was so far away from me. I felt that he was closer to me than some of my real life friends. He once told me that he felt that he knew me, even though we never had the chance of being together. That's also how I felt about him.

Thank you Chris, thank you so much for this year. Thank you so much for being an angel in my life, thank you for showing me that we must cherish every second of our life as if it was the last. Thank you for telling me "I love you Maria" every night after talked, thank you for every time you supported me when I was having trouble with my family. Thank you for making me laugh, for making me feel that I can be loved and that life can be wonderful. Thank you so much for BEING YOU. You'll be forever in my heart.

REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND. Your memory will be always with me.

I know youll be watching over me....
