2 years ago, she vanished as a follower of this blog, discontinued her WP blog and disappeared into the ether. Off-the-grid. No reasons given. Just vaporized.
And this wasn’t a gentle, lifting of a morning mist. Oh, no.
Think 18th century guillotines. Ward Stare describes it as the steel-on-steel scraping of the falling blade, and the thud as it hits, bouncing a little from the impact.
That was my head bouncing from the jarring impact. A follower since November 2015. She authored over 300 comments on this blog, a good number of them memorable shots across the bow, short pithy lists of errata in my posts or astonishment over my lack of basic understanding of how the world works. You can’t but get attached to all this.
A follower since November 16, 2014. 6 years she’s everywhere. Then Gone.
No “Goodbye Friends.”
No “It’s been such a great ride, I need some time off.”
Nothing. Zero. Just Gone.
So, how about sharing a few words with me for a Guest Post to explain where you’ve been? (Or maybe an apology or two for the cold exit? And if not for me, what about all the Friends you met here and cut loose?)
And if you’d prefer to just ease back in with a few cutting comments to regain your muscle memory, and to find your groove again, that’s fine too.
Welcome back Sawsan, my dear Virtual Friend.
Bring it on. Sling the best you’ve got…
