Nah this old 4chan post still hits me the hardest and the world is even worse now.

I thought of that exact story and of my own.

My first online Skype friend in 2004 when it was new you could find random people easily. We were both around 14, with him in Sri Lanka and myself in the US. We talked for a year about our lives and what we did as kids on the other side of the world. He had to go for a week one Christmas since his family was visiting his grandma who had a house a mile or two from the beach. He was looking forward to swimming and seeing all of his family, but hated that he’d be offline. We wished each other happy holidays and happy new year.

He never got back online. I hope beyond hope he just didn’t have time for his American penpal.
