Do you ever wonder if ten years from now we will have all lost each other, our blogfriends. Will we slowly drift away…and then ten years later, remember a certain friend we touched souls with on the internet, someone who changed our life in perhaps the simplest way, someone we had never met in the flesh.

Dear Bonnie has decided to say farewell to blogging so she can focus more on the essentials in her life, like her eleven childen, her husband, her art and music, her teaching, and of course, her yoga.

I will miss her terribly. I will never practice yoga or listen to classical music or view a glorious painting without thinking of her. And if I ever have a third child, and even if I don’t, I will think of her and her beautiful post to me about having another child.

I love you, Bonnie. You have taught me much. Put me on your Christmas card list, because I don’t want to be thinking of you five years from now and not know how to find you.

Friendship, Oleg, Zhiveten.
