I haven't communicated with Roger for sometime, because I stopped writing my blog. We were friends on Facebook so I managed to stay connected to him. Not long ago I decided to find out what Roger had been up to, when I saw the sad new of his passing. I came to find out through reading recent posts his blog that he had been very sick with a very serious heart condition.
Roger and I never personally talked or met. I gleaned what I could about him from his posts, and he mine. I always knew that Roger had a very big heart. He was loving, considerate, and kind. I had no idea of his suffering.

Even though my own blog was very plain and unexciting, Roger always made it a point to make me feel like my words were important. He commented on almost every post. Roger would get an email alert when I had written something. I remember that one time he apologized to me saying, he couldn't believe he had missed my post; meanwhile I was only writing every month or so.
I felt the need to dedicate my first new post to Roger. My heart is suffering right now too, but in a different way than Roger's. We never know who we are going to meet along the way, but I'm glad I had the privilege of knowing him for a time. I miss his encouragement right now.
I think if Roger got an email that I made this post, he would tell me to be true to myself, and not to worry, as well as give me some sage advice that I wouldn't completely understand; that however, was part of his charm.
Thank you Roger. I think you were important, too. Sleep well, my friend.
