“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
~ C.S. Lewis
One year and one day ago today, on a Friday morning, I turned on my computer to discover that Jennifer, Jenn See, had passed away suddenly. Jenn See, one part of the triumvirate of the Following My Fish website, was a dear web friend. The Fish were the first people I discovered on my quest to turn my blog into a celebration of the more geeky things in my life. Reading the posts over there was like looking into the mirror of my soul. The year and a half that I spent reading the writings of Jenn See, Mysfit, and Oldben and their interactions with us over here, formed the kind of bond that at that time I never dreamed could be achieved from sitting at a keyboard. And then she was gone.
