I met Mark (Marcos41) 2 years ago in the chatroom; at the time, I found him very opinionated and somewhat rude, especially when it came to women and relationships. As we continued chatting, especially in Private Chat, I found out the WHYS and HOW COMES he portrayed himself that way. He had been diagnosed with Renal Failure a few years previous, and didn't want the hardships of trying to establish a long-term relationship with a woman, when he was not able to provide for her in the ways he truly wanted to.
As our friendship grew, we would talk on the phone for hours at a time...I remember one phone call lasted 4 hrs! He did most of the talking and I did most of the listening. I knew he was a lonely soul in search of a kindred heart; someone whom he could feel comfortable sharing his ideals, dreams and hopes with. He told me I was one such kindred spirit, even going so far as to nickname me his "Canadian dream girl". He was my "Fave Georgian fella".
I shall miss my friend Mark very much and feel honored he considered me one of his closest, dearest friends.
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus!
