My dear friend, lm443, passed away recently.
We "met" when he became a member of my site back in 2005. And over the next 15 years, we developed a trusted, and more personal friendship. We never met in person. But became close friends all the same.
lm443 was a man who adored the charm models and the SC site. A fan and member to several charms over the years. He posted on our forum and was always there to flirt with me, or to call me "beautiful".
It's difficult when a friendship is developed over "porn". Models have to be careful of how much they reveal about themselves. And fans/members have to be careful not to jeopardize their marriage. And because of that secret part of his life, I'm unable to offer my condolences to his family. I discovered his passing with the help of "google". Having not heard from him in over a month, and knowing of his recent and serious, health issues, I decided to google his name and hometown.
And I found his obituary.
We kept in touch for 15 years. Talking on the phone a few times, and Emailing often...….Sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, and in the past year or so, only monthly. He was having major health problems and was in and out of the hospital a lot, not able to write. I won't lie and say that his passing doesn't mean anything to me. Even though we had a pen pal relationship, I had let him be privy to some of my personal life, and he had shared his with me. So that friendship was more than just "porn". It was a real, legit and meaningful 15 year friendship. One started from porn, but one blooming into a true mainstream friendship.
You will be missed Lou.
You had an amazing life, were an amazing person. And I'm a better person for having the pleasure of knowing you.
RIP Lou.
Sending final BIG KISSES to you.
Love, "Serena"
