I am so sorry for your loss. I am a Mom that plays with her kids too and this hit me so hard. My heart goes out to you and I wish you peace. Thank you for sharing him with us. In a toxic environment like these forums can be sometimes, maybe posts like this can remind us of the awesome humans that are behind some of these names. hugs

No parent should ever need to bury their kids, but you helped make his life one worth living and worth remembering. He went out on a high. Itās unfair, but even so, be proud of what you did for him. That life well-lived is never wasted, and it seems that he did indeed live very well.

Iāve read through this thread over the last few days and my fingers are still too choked up to type.
My condolences, Ahlunna. May you find peace and comfort in this game you shared with your son. /heartbreaking

Yes.
Someone posted the news story of this in another thread, if you doubt the validity. They all come up if you search the name on Google too. Sad, guy looked pretty young.
Both of my Parents were dead by the time I was 36, of natural causes/things which happen to people who are 72-76. So I feel for anyone in the opposite situation. They had me when they were around 40, which was very uncommon in 1966.

āDo you have a magic spell to return someone to life?ā she asked.
āNo,ā the witch said, āIām sorry.ā
āOh.ā
āWhy donāt you tell me about them?ā
āWill that bring them back?ā
āFor us. For a little while. Stories are a different kind of magic.ā
Iām sincerely sorry for your loss, OP, but Iām glad that you have happy memories of your son to keep him alive in your heart.

Aw Blizzard unlocked this thread, this definitely is a good thing.
Sorry for your loss Ahlunna, I hope in heaven it turns out you can play every game and expansion that would have existed on Earth, so he can play to his heartās content.

Sharon, Iām so sorry for your loss. You had a wonderful relationship with him which will leave memories for a lifetime.
My son, who is almost 32, got me into gaming also. We played together for years before he went into the Army. He and I both still play WoW, but no longer together.
I pray you and your daughter always remember the good times and hold on to those when things get rough. It sounds like you had a very special son.

I donāt know how you do it Sharon but I wish you well and strength to carry on with your daughter.
Youāre right about memories though, nothing can take those away from us. May your son rest in peace and for you and yours to find peace,

Kypookins You typed my exact parental situation as well. 1963 baby. I was 32-34 when I lost both of my parents as well. My Mom was my best friend and my Dad was awesome as well. He went first and within a little over a year my Mom died. My kids got to know so little of them, although spent a great deal of time with themā¦ but they were just so young. My son was 28. When I look at this now I really realize that we spent 1/2 of his lifetime playing WoW. I swear it seems like the blink of an eye now. I am grateful for the wonderful like minded KIND folks that are here. Kindness and courtesy for the win. =]

Hi Sharon. My condolences to your family. I have a very similar story. Except sorta backwards. I lost my brother shortly after his 21st birthday, on his momās birthday, and buried him on my birthday. One of the last things he did was create a toon on my account. Shadowbmx was his rogueās name. Before he passed, I wasnāt really playing wow anymore, but after months of mourning I decided I needed something to distract me, so I kicked off WoW. To my surprise, the selected, and last, toon that logged in was his. I cried. But then, I delved back into wow, formed a guild, made decade long friendsā¦ WoW helped me heal.
Iām very happy you have wondrous memories of your family to share with us.

My sincerest condolences. I pray your memories help you find peace.
