Just a week after I wrote my first Vox post about meeting one of my now-defunct blog's readers in real life, I received an email from that reader. It was filtered into my junk mail, and I happened to find it this evening on a very rare trawl through that folder--a week after it showed up.

It's been years since I corresponded with him, and I was very saddened to find out his wife died earlier this year after a 14-month battle with cancer. Her name was Amor, and it fit. She was a warm, caring woman that made me feel very comfortable in her home, at a party where I didn't know anyone. I'm glad to have met her, however briefly.

One of the early regular readers of the blog I wrote 5 years ago invited me to a party he was having at his house. I figured if anything it would make a good story for my blog, so I went, even though I had never met anyone there. He was thrilled I showed up, and he introduced me to his family and friends, all delightful, interesting people. I had a great time, though it was strange to have someone I'd just met be able to reference things from my life...like he knew what kind of drink to make me without having to ask.
