In the period since I was born in SL (half a year now), I have met many people ofcourse, and among them a couple of very special unique caracters. Even considering all the new people I met in real life all together since january 2007, I made some very special friends through SL. With some of them I also have contact outside of SL, but with some only 'inworld'.
I haven't been in SL for a couple of days. When I am not inside SL, I get IM's forwarded to my email. So yesterday I found this most dramatic IM in my mailbox:
[13:51] Bettina Wunderlich: 2e? you are here? [13:59] Bettina Wunderlich: you are not... :( Well, I want to say good bye. I leave SL now or tomorrow. (I must only fix a few things between the new owner of my house and the simowner). You was a really good friend and I wasnt nice... well, I was a asshole. The time with you was... special! Really!!! You are absolute crazy and absolute adoring. I was the last time 1 month and then 1 week in hospital and my old cancer is back, so I went at wednsday back in hospital and... well, I dont come back home :( Thanks for your friendship and your nice ass :P Dont be sad, its enough I am sad. Dont forget me so fast. Kisses, bettina
Damn what a heavvy message to read on a relaxed sunday! It makes, me smile, laugh, cry and silent simultaniously...
You readers might think: Why the hell is 2E Leven publishing this very private message from Bettina on the web? Well I have been thinking nonstop since I got this message about the following: how can I reply to Bettina? I dont have any phone number or email adres... I dont even know her FL family name orso... How can I tell her this is one of the most scary messages I got over the internet in ages? (Also another good friend in SL told me recently she has cancer...) How can I let her know that the same time, this is one of the sweetest messages as well? How can I tell her she's great and I could never forget her and our experiences?
Well I, hope she will still be able to surf the web somehow and find this sometime. And as far as i know her, I will think she would approve of publishing this. I know her ego is big enough for that fortunately ;-)
