17. I don't know anyone here personally, but I feel I've learned a lot from these friends.

Frequently I'm very surprised to learn that someone I've interacted with is a different gender/age/etc. than I originally thought. And usually I'm amazed to learn what some of you have gone through in life, over time.

Thanks for posting this heartfelt remembrance, Cha.
