E=MC2

I have been chatting to a friend here almost from my first days on the site. He used to write fascinating stories; very left field… Which was what first caught my attention. He was very pleased and proud to say that his wife was the inspiration, and I in turn was inspired by some of his advice.
He was an elderly gentleman and had confided in me about some of their experiences together.
He also told me about a serious illness that he had. I used to urge him to take it easy but you know what men of that age are like.

His last message to me was over six months ago. He was too much of a gentleman to just leave so I have come to the conclusion that he has passed away.
He had passed from the forefront of my mind, but at the weekend I heard a song on the radio that I had not heard in years; E=MC2 by Big Audio Dynamite.
It contains the opening lines, “Somebody I never met, but in a way I know…”. It is so strange how we can have such intimate conversations with people here, yet know so little about them.
I just wanted to share with you all.
