Warm Winter Nights

When I first logged in into Second Life I was far from knowing what this could become.

I had previous experiences in chat rooms where I found good friends that I keep until now, but never thought that this new “game” would develop this way.

It was my RL birthday last saturday. On Friday night I logged in just to finish a dispute that was going on in a club at Portucalis, warned by a friend, and was immediately caugt by siss that tried to distract me with the Sales going on at Truth (by the way… they have great bargains there, take a look if you have the chance).

I was really tired cause it had been a busy busy week at the office but I promised her I would stay until midnight for her to wish me Happy Birthday.

Siss organised this great great party in less than half an hour and all my friends who were online dropped by. You guys leave me speachless. Thank you all for the great time I had and for all your care.

Went to bed at 2 am with a smile on my face and warmth in my heart.

Saturday I had a dinner party planned with rl friends (some of which I met in SL) and I had this surprise I simply lack of words to describe.

My friends that have nothing to do with Second Life (except for knowing me hehehe) managed to get in touch with my SL friends in Portugal and abroad and gave me the BEST present I had in all my life. Something I always wanted to do (and had to also) and never could afford.

I have to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You have done for me more than you can imagine and no words can describe how I feel happy, moved, touched for all the care and love you have shown for me. Don’t know if I deserve you, but I asure you that I’m here for you for whatever you need and you are all in my heart forever.

To all of those out there that don’t believe in friendship and in people, I just have one thing to say, when you are able to touch people’s hearts and they touch yours, the bonds that are created will not break. Friends are the best you can have in no matter what world, having met them in the flesh or not. And the present I had on saturday, the way people that never met before joined together to do what you guys did it is simply the proof of it.

It is the reason why I keep believing in people and I am the luckiest person in the whole world for having you all in my life.

From Friday to Sunday I have to say this was the Best weekend I ever had in my (already long) life.

Thank you again all of you for being there and for caring. Love you all !!!!
