The last 4 months must have been terrible for all of you. I will try to be strong, for Louis' sake. I will post photos after I have managed to plant the Elena and Louis Trees.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-58180282139258913072011-04-19T15:26:21.139+08:002011-04-19T15:26:21.139+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-75036962625422094182011-04-19T15:12:38.813+08:002011-04-19T15:12:38.813+08:00This is one of the best letter i have seen about f...This is one of the best letter i have seen about friendship.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sampleletters.in/category/leave-letters/" rel="nofollow">Leave Letters</a>Micheal Belayudamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288696898129196304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-28569557394680299892011-04-19T13:40:19.657+08:002011-04-19T13:40:19.657+08:00Ee Lyn,

Like Louis, you are a friend I made in cyberspace and have never met in person, yet our friendship is as real as anything can get. Thanks again.

It is his love and friendship that brought us closer to him. It is his patience, kindness, wisdom and gentleness that made us love him. And he has brought us all closer together, even for those of us who have known each other in blogsphere before we entered his circle and him, ours.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-20069566220675373882011-04-19T11:38:36.963+08:002011-04-19T11:38:36.963+08:00Antares, I do not want to think of losing any more...<b>Antares</b>, I do not want to think of losing any more of my friends.

You met him alright even though you both have not physically met, that is the only different. Cyberspace is real and it is as real as mother earth; which one is more real we just could only imagine and wonder. Ask this question 'What is reality?' then you would find that cyberspace and the mother earth is real in every sense of the word Real. The only different is that you have not shake Louis hand but you were already touches by his heart and to me that is more important than shaking one's hand. <br /><br />There are so much loves in his writing and that is one reason I felt so close to him and Elena. I have met both of them in Seattle and they have been to Malaysia many times and at one time wanted to make Malaysia their second home but destiny defines the lives of these wonderful couple and they both left us only physically and in our heart they both are as alive as ever. <br /><br />So what is reality!

My...Covert, Thank you for this beautiful tribute. <br /><br />My heart went out to you when you said this: <i>"I can’t share my sorrow with anyone else, Louis, because as far as others are concerned, I know you only through e-mail and our blogs, and therefore you aren’t a “real friend”."</i><br /><br />You are not alone, Covert. I was also one of Louis' "virtual" friends but "reality" is in the heart of the friendship and I can share your sorrow because our friendship with Louis was as real as the ones he had with those who had the fortune to actually shake his hand.<br /><br />Covert, Louis honoured us by embracing us and he continues to do so. We will always carry him in our hearts.<br /><br />I am including a link to your tribute with <a href="http://guanaguanaresingsat.blogspot.com/2011/04/last-night-google-told-me-that-my.html" rel="nofollow">mine.</a><br /><br />Blessings<br />GuanaguanareGuanaguanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633889363662650322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-23094342090378224832011-04-17T01:07:43.789+08:002011-04-17T01:07:43.789+08:00((((((HUGS))))))((((((HUGS))))))Cat-from-Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316678270023647758noreply@blogger.com
