We've never met in person, but it was a good friendship nonetheless, you know, one of those 'email friendships'
We'd write each other at the beginning of our day, sometime throughout we'd send each other jokes and stuff, and another one at the end of the day, or from home.
That morning, Marisol sent me the daily 'morning email' and I went to an office meeting without reading it.
Halfway through the meeting we hear of the first plane and we turn the TV.
I immediately went to check her email and it was sent before the plane hit, so she was being her usual friendly and funny/grump self at 8:30 in the morning at the beginning of another long day at work.
I still regret not having read and replied earlier as soon as I received it, that way I would have been able to have a last conversation with her.
