It's a painful thing.
Waiting for the final breath.
Hoping with each gasp that it might not be the end.
Then,
waiting again.
Wondering with each growing silence if the end has finally come.
"Was that it?"
"I don't know. Just wait, we'll know soon."
"Can't somebody do something?"
"No, it's all up to them now."
Comforting one another.
Wishing the departed "good luck" in their next life.
"I hope they're OK."
"Yeah"
"I'm going to miss them."
"We all will."
"I just wish they would make an announcement or delete the blog or something. This waiting is killing me."
"Yeah, I know."

My goodness, how clever. You really had me going there. I started out thinking "oh, no, this is going to be sad." I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was about blogs that had been shut down (or appear to be close to it). Another great post.
Chanya - I was just looking for a different way to approach an, unfortunately, old topic.
Glad you lked it :)
Wow! First time reader here and the post grabbed me. When I first read it, I was like...isn't this blog about blogging, and I wasn't too keen on the dramatics. But the ending! WOW! Keep it up! :D
Btw, I came over from Sivatar. The "click me!" avatar really hooked me.
haha that was clever. I too was like, uh oh, this won't be good. Good job, that was great.
@ Pristine - First of all, welcome! Glad you liked it.
I couldn't think of what to do on that Sivatar thing. I just wanted to be diferent ;)
@ Crazy4Bass - HaHa!! Thanks :)
Check out my new template... ;-)
BlogGrrl - Good for you! Looks good.
A couple more posts and I'll move you out onto the floor ;)
Great blog!
Surprising how quick "dedicated bloggers" drop off, isn't it?
Thanks Rhys. It's kind of scary how easy it is to get out of the habit.
A couple of these were really surprising. I just hope they're all OK :|
emmmmm.... good blog.
do I know you? ??

Rudi - Umm, thanks.
I don't know, maybe. There used to be a reader around here named Rudi that would comment some. Seems like he was from Germany, maybe. I can't remember, it's been a while.
Either way, welcome!
Whew! You really had me going there girl! Very good job!
Telling - Sorry but thanks ;)

We're pulling for you :)
