PSA -- Y'all Rock

[Avelmi]

Since some folks know, I thought I'd just post so everyone would know.

This past Thursday, my mom passed away after a short battle with an aggressive cancer. Her funeral is tomorrow afternoon. My father is planning to move in with me and my children, since I am a widow (my husband died in 2016). So, I may be flaky or seem off for a while, and I apologize for that. I am not planning to quit the game. I am just going to take nights off when it feels too hard to be on.

With that shared, I just want to say that you guys in CoE mean a lot to me. Becoming a widow was tough, so I decided to join CoE's laid back raiding environment. I still love the folks in Stormwrath, but I needed something less competitive.

I cannot tell you guys how much you make me laugh, help me over the rough bumps (even though y'all don't know about them), and just generally help me enjoy the game. Life is short, so I want to just say that y'all rock and I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. We may eventually all go our separate ways, but the times y'all have helped me out, even if you didn't know about it, will never be forgotten by me.

Please know that you guys are an awesome bunch. Don't let anyone tell you different.

I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say Mum I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you’ve instilled.
The day that you left I just didn’t know
That you were going where I couldn’t go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear
But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you “Mum goodbye.”
Someday I know all will be well
And I’ll see you again with stories to tell
Of how you were missed and how we have grown
And how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I’ll keep near
And I’ll pass them on to those who are dear.
I miss you Mum.

Shob, that's an awesome poem that sums up how I feel so very well. Thank you.
