I miss P too and I do hope that she's doing well. <br /><br />I've been blogging for a very long time and I've seen so many people come and go that it's really hard and a bit discouraging to want to keep on going myself. I totally understand that the physical parts of our world must come first and that sometimes it's just easier to cut back on the virtual parts of our life to make room for new challenges. But like you said, sometimes I wish there was a quick goodbye or just a message to let us know that everything is good and that they've decided they need to move on to new challenges. <br /><br />I won't be going anywhere anytime soon :) I've spent so many years writing on my blog that it feels a little strange to not have it be a part of my life anymore. Plus, I've developed a sense of kinship to so many people who I've visited and have visited me that I can't imagine leaving without a goodbye. So when the time comes for me to stop, I'll definitely let you know :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213360287207409416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-55280082834955272522011-07-25T17:57:05.638-07:002011-07-25T17:57:05.638-07:00Geez...am I the P?

I feel so lonely and disconnected from my friends in blogland...and even here in my town. It's been a super weird busy Summer. I put way too much on my plate, and have been trying desperately to be present when my kiddos are up. Add 8 kids that I tutor to an already busy life, and it's been too busy. I'm catching up in bits and pieces, and was horrified to read of Micah's mishap this a.m. How is he doing?? I miss you!!<br />julieJulie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177257035529073223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-59149522065239579932011-07-22T01:17:06.619-07:002011-07-22T01:17:06.619-07:00Really lost I have 3 they just disappeared from In...Really lost I have 3 they just disappeared from Internet and as you say it's rather sad.<br />3 don't blog anymore but I get emails from time to time so I have some news.<br />It's strange although we have never seen each other through writing we became real virtual friends.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-40242728497958843232011-07-22T00:55:34.596-07:002011-07-22T00:55:34.596-07:00You took the words right out of my mouth.

She deleted her first blog entirely, started a new one (which included a book club participation), then deleted that one. Where is she now?

But it's so true what you said - that when they decide to stop blogging, there's just no way of contacting them anymore and the relationship you've built with them vanishes along.

I think some people just put too much time into developing their blogs and trying to accumulate as many followers as possible, running contests, etc., and then just like that they become overwhelmed with the time commitment and disappear. I've had some blogs I really enjoyed just vanish. I wish they'd just cut back and post once in a while instead of never.
