I met my friend thru a fan forum, within a year I was told we were going to England where she lived and i let her know where i would be. Well the day came and she is just as nice online and in person, she did the opposite, her family brought her here and we met again. We still are in contact and send Christmas cards with pictures in them, It is a beautiful friendship
