I never understood the idea that you could love someone you've never met. To be clear, someone you met online, for all intents and purposes, a stranger. All those stories just didn't make sense to me.
Until today.
I met Eddie online. I asked to join a facebook group, Barbara Marciniak and the Pleiadians. Eddie was the administrator of that group and accepted me as a member. We had a few groups in common and we began to interact within them. Although we never got the chance to meet in person, we became friends.
That was a little over 2 years ago. Over time I got to know a little about Eddie. And I grew to like him. He was kind, generous, and charming. He was an active admin and was always posting and commenting; encouraging his group to participate and be lively in the discussions.
Eddie was a lot of things. One of those things was that he was sad. He struggled with who he was. He struggled with his job. He struggled with his choices and he struggled with his sadness.
Eddie lost that struggle on January 30th.
When I 'asked' today, I was told that "it was part of the plan. It would have been nice to stay around...but it was the plan.' And because of my belief system, I understood.
'Go forth upon the bright and shining way to Summerland, and look no more behind-
For those you leave will join you in their day-
No love is lost beyond what life can bind.
Release what was, leaves upon the wind.
Embrace what comes, go joyful, and transcend.'
I love you, Eddie.
