There has been many 1000 times (+/- a few) that I’ve mentioned how much I love the friends I’ve found on the internets.
The drama that lives in the little box is the same drama that lives in the houses in which they live.
same same
Something different, however, is the vast variety of people I’ve found here amongst the masses of lovelies. There really truly are bunches and loads of amazing people out in the world.
I know. I’ve met them.
I call them my friends.
I’m lucky enough to say this with so much conviction and honesty: Piper of Love is one of the dearest, most beautiful people I’ve ever met.
Truly.
She’s drop-dead gorgeous. She used to be a fatty like me, but she took control, lost weight, and is now (not that she wasn’t before) one of the great beauties of the world. I do not lie.
She has two beautiful boys from a rocky past relationship, and she’s been through hell finding the right job.
She’s dated a few mens, and if I weren’t married and if she was gay, I’d woo her to be my lady.
Several months ago (I think almost a year), she met an amazing man. He woo’d her. He made her laugh. He loved her boys.
He asked her to marry him.
Doves flew!
Bells rang!
Angels cried!
Truly, the internet collectively sighed in happiness for Piper.
The date: 10.10.10
Pretty AWESOME if you ask me.
Until last week.
He broke Piper’s heart.
He broke her boys’ hearts.
He broke my heart.
He broke her friend’s hearts.
He ended their fairytale romance with one phone call.
Since that day, her friends have rallied together to create a circle of love for Piper. We’ve emailed back and forth for days (though, I kind of think Piper would want to be included, but then, how could it be a surprise?) coming up with ways we could love on her from afar.
I think we’ve done a pretty damn good job of putting out our love and support energies to her. She’ll be receiving loves in her mailbox for weeks.
I hope she can feel it.
I hope she knows she is truly loved by me, by us.

This is one of the most awesome posts evar. I love the interwebz. Really. And I love all of you for lovin’ on Piper.
Beautiful tribute. I too was amazed at the support I received (and still do ) from my internet friends. Their is absolutely no way I would have made it the last 13 months without each and every one of you – I would have gone completely crazy. She is very lucky to have you and her other friends to support her, you are all angels. : )
I love you Angie and am so glad we have become friends.

Wow, what a shitty thing to have happened. I am sure your support is helping beyond words.
Piper sure has some amazing friends who love her! I live the web!
wow. what an asshat. i’m so sorry piper.
Be strong Piper, the pain does fade, slowly, but it does fade….having such truly great friends does help. And by the looks of it you have that!
THIS IS AMAZING!!
To hell with him Piper!! (and I’m so sorry).
Sending you a huge hug from TEXAS! MUAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, he sounds like a piece of work! I don’t know Piper, but man, from this post, I hope she knows that she’s loved… and oh man, she is a stunner!
she really is gorgeous and you are sweet to all do this for her.
Angie, I guess you know I’ve been here and read this at least five different times today. I’m finally commenting, though I still don’t know just what to say.
You have blessed me enormously. Your words and sentiment, they will live with me always.
Your hugs are better in person, but if words can sort of do what hugs do then I’d have to say I’m feeling smothered in your embrace.
I love you, thank you for this. Thanks for loving me <3
I love how this community can band together so quickly to support our own.
Lots of love to Piper.
(And love to Dawn’s bewbs!)
great post I love reading your blog
Ugh, when someone get’s their heart broken…even if I don’t know them, I feel sick about it. You are such a sweet gal Angie. I wish your friend Piper and her boys the very best.
I don’t know Piper, but it makes my heart swell to know her ladies are there for her… though, that you are one of these ladies, Angie… well, this doesn’t surprise me one bit. I knew you were all soft like that. I love it. Man, the internets ARE rather awesome, no?! Yes.
