Sara
There are those people online that you never get to meet but suspect could be your very best friend if they only lived closer. I tend to work them into daily offline conversations sometimes, with references that don't sound as strange as they used to ten years ago: My Friend From Chisago County (only she doesn't live in Chisago County anymore), SuezBoo in South Africa, The Dancer in NYC, Sara in Massachusetts (you know, the one who takes photos of love potatoes).
You hope to travel, meet for lunch. You trade notes and laugh out loud, long-distance, at their clever crush-worthy minds.
You are heartbroken when you finally understand that the small portion of their greatness that you already got to see is all you will be so lucky to share.

A clever crush-worthy mind indeed.
I don't really have anything to say but wanted to offer you a virtual hug (being somewhat in need of one myself). Sara is going to be terribly missed - she is already.
I just recently found Sara's blog, along with this one and some others, and am sad to see such a light extinguished.
Hugs all round!
I am going to miss Sars's voice. She made me laugh and made me think, often in the same sentence.
As am I - and I share your regret in never having met her.
Late to the party as per usual...but peace to her, and you
