The internet has made a small world even smaller. We meet and share our lives with people that 20 years ago we never would have met. We form digital friendships that are no less powerful than face-to-face friends.
Jamie Eyberg was my friend. No we never met. Never shared a meal. Never watched a movie together. And now to my great sadness, we never will.
Jamie was a good man. He always encouraged my writing. Always posted nice things on this blog. He enjoyed working with his hands, spending time with his wife and children, and dreaming of writing something people would find moving. In that we are brothers.
I don't pretend to understand. My heart hurts. My thoughts and prayers go out to his children, who lost not one parent, but both. There are a few people setting up donations for the children. You can read about them on Barry Napier's blog.
I will miss sharing Jamie's life via his blog. I will miss my friend.

Thank you for posting this. My name is Brandy and I grew up and graduated HS with Jamie. We went our seperate ways after that but we reconnected on Facebook and he hasn't changed.
He was never negative and was the nicest person around, he always had something positive or funny to say... He will be missed!
He was one of the best people I knew and will always be in our thoughts and prayers as will Ann and the children.
