A friend is a friend to me, it doesn't matter how often I get to communicate with them or in what capacity.
I like what you've written here I have made some close friends on-line. And have some close friends, that I have known IRL, but due to growing, family, jobs, etc., we now live miles and miles apart; and communicate using technology--phones, e-mails, texts....not much different than some on-line friends.

A couple of the on-line friends, I have made, there's confiding in one another, that goes above and beyond some of the confiding that I've done with those I have known throughout my life.

Friends are Friends
