My Path of Sadness

This morning I started up the computer, fired up Twhirl, started to open the Google Feed Reader, and prepare for a radio interview on a morning show.

One little tweet caught my attention first:


I didn’t know who (Pinky379) she was talking about.

Currently I follow 750 or so on Twitter and this name wasn’t one of them.

I headed to Flickr to see what my friends had uploaded recently.

One of the first images I saw was one from Dale Chumbley

They say that Social Media is all about connections.  Dale just helped me connect who Pinky379 was.  Sheila Lublin is Bill Lublin’s wife.  Bill and I met in San Francisco recently.  Before that we connected on a strange video thread on Seesmic.

How could you not connect with someone like this?

Going back to my feed reader, I found this post in my “Suggested Reading” folder.

It was written by Benn at AgentGenius

Our Friend Bill Lublin Loses His Wife Today, and Ag Loses a Wonderful Friend

Social Media is indeed all about connecting.

Bill and I did.  I now feel his loss, his sadness.

Services for Sheila will be held on Friday August 8, at 10:00am ET at:
Goldstein’s Rosenberg Rafael Sacks Funeral Homes
310 Second Street Pike
South Hampton, PA 18966

  1. Mike, as Benn says, you are a class act. These connections are real and for those on the outside thinking our interactions are empty and pointless, they are wrong. We are ingrained in each others’ lives very deeply and have sincere love and concern for each other. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. God bless.
