A Sign from John Roberts

September 29, 2020 5:52am CST
A myLot friend and I had been chatting about our dear myLot friend, John Roberts, months ago of his sudden disappearance. We thought it may have been because his mother, with whom he lived, passed away. He hasn’t been heard from since, and hasn’t answered my PMs or my worried question to his last post. I have a very sinking feeling that it was he who passed away in May. As soon as I thought that, the trees in my yard started glimmering a bright and unearthly golden orange, then faded. No, I didn’t just have a martini! Has anyone heard anything about John Roberts? I miss his sense of humor and his travel tales. I miss him.

I have the feeling that he is no more Dianne. I searched online to see if I could find something about him, but I found nothing at all. I miss him.

Apparently, John Roberts is/was not his real name so any search of that name would not help.

@kanuck1 This is what I thought, John Roberts is indeed a journalist, but I do not think this is our John Roberts.

I really have no idea. I was hoping someone here knew something. Even @Alexandoy has disappeared with no mention of anything.

@lovebuglena I don't know anything about Virily. Perhaps he can earn more money there. Do you know it? At least we know he's alive and well.

@DianneN I've seen stuff from @alexandoy on Virily but he hasn't posted here in over a month. He is active on Virily. Shows he is online now. Wonder why he is not mylotting.

@DianneN He was. I dont see him staying away this long if he was able to come visit us. He enjoyed putting my critters up to no good to much to stay away.

It is only natural that we remember our members especially those who have been active here. I often think of Patsie Hatley I do hope John Roberts will bounce back soon and is alive and well.

"John Roberts" or whatever his name was did not seem to be in a good frame of mind the last times he was on here. We may never know if he just got sick of mylot or sick of life. Maybe he will return with an explanation, but that is the thing about people online...you just never really know.

i did worry about his mother, i loved seeing him post her kitchen creations. i've always imagined she's in her 80s and john was early 60s. one mylotter did also say she has a strong feeling we've lost him.

@DianneN but there's another horrible possibility - what if his mother did die but he didn't share it with us? i'm also wondering about another mylotter who had covid. the last he posted was calling an ambulance.

@hereandthere I thought that at first about John, but by now I think he would have returned. We may never know the truth. I'm not sure which other myLotter you are referring to, unless it's the one who posted that he's doing better in the hospital.

I’m beginning to think the worst, too. I did see that an older lady named Roberts had an obituary the day after John vanished. And, for a couple of months, I figured he had to deal with the “legalities” associated with when a loved one passes away. Now? I’m afraid he’s either seriously ill, incapacitated, or passed.

I hope so, too, but he wouldn't just leave us without saying a quick goodbye. Many of those who knew him miss him terribly. I'm also concerned about @Alexandoy's sudden disappearance. I think he mentioned a trip to me, but it's only been a little over one month.

I have noticed that he hasn't been there. I was hoping that there was a simple explanation like no internet access, but several months have passed so I don't really believe in that anymore. I have a feeling it could be something worse, but I don't know, it is just a feeling.

I was hoping it was something quite innocent for a while, but as I thought about him while looking at the trees and they waved, shimmered, and got brighter, I felt very down. Maybe he was sending me a signal that he's okay, wherever he is.

Oh! I remember coming across him several times and could sense that he had a great sense of humor. Now the thought that he might not be there anymore does feel uncomfortable anc awkwardThough I have not interacted much with him, I can still feel the pinch. Hope we get some clear picture soon about his whereabouts.
