She responded with: "You've met people through blogs?"
People really don't have a clue until they jump in there themselves. There are many of you whom I've never met but we're friends on Facebook and many of you who I've even talked to on the phone. Some of you I have even met.
Giving that.. I was really sad to learn the news of a blog friend passing. A fight with cancer that was short. Just 3-weeks.
It was Lisa aka Bumpkin on A Swing.
She found me through a mutual Louisiana blogging friend and I'm heartbroken by the news.
She always left the sweetest comments on my blog and her posts consisted of inspirational messages and in recent months messages about her beloved Gulf Coast and the fight against oil.
My prayers are with her beloved Captain John, who I know is missing her like crazy. Hugs and Prayers Captain John!
We will miss you Bumpkin!

This is heartbreaking.
Such sad news. I'm so sorry for their loss, and the loss of the blogging community.
I really do feel like I personally know a lot of bloggers, allowing me to give them unsolicited advice.
Thanks for your comment yesterday! I wish you lived in the PNW too! Awesome beach cruiser ride through the Callaway Gardens. We have nothing that cool around here.
Seriously, can you even believe all of this?? Lisa's comments and emails and kind words always made my day. I'm not sure how it's going to be without here. I'm sa sad about all of this!!! :-(
Dee, this post is absolutely lovely and spot on...hard to comprehend how many lives Lisa touched around the world with her friendship, kind thoughts, spunky comments and general lovliness. I am grateful to be a part of the network of friends she cared about so much and promise to stay close. Hugs to you dearest xoxoxoxo
