Another hiatus...

Hello friends and strangers,

As a forum lurker and more casual player, I usually keep my head down and myself unheard. However, I have been more scarce than usual due to a very good reason.

Listeners to KJSR.net will know that I have not been on the air since late October and folks in game have not seen me for several weeks. This is because my girlfriend, who was diagnosed with lymphoma in August and is a childhood cancer survivor, has had progression of her disease and it now seems uncontrollable. We have perhaps one last chance, although hope is scarce.

My reasons for posting this are perhaps a bit selfish. Protector is my home and I've noticed that it is a tight knit community and I need help. I have been in a dark place for a long time and with this last glimmer of hope fading, we need positive thoughts and prayers and I don't have many places left to turn to.

While my subscription has not ended, I do not intend on making a return in game for some time. I want to thank everyone at KSJR.net for their support and any others that have offered support. For those that I've teamed with in the past, thank you for your camaraderie.

I hope to one day return with happier news.

Please take care all,
WRider

I cannot say it more simply than this:

You and your girlfriend are in my thoughts, I hope things get better and that you get your happy news.

We'll be here when you're ready to return.

I wish the two of you the best.

I'm sorry to hear that she's not doing well, but we'll keep our hopes up for you both. She's a survivor, she knows how to pull through, but this time she'll have your support to help. I'm sure we'll hear from you both again.

I will pray for her as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your girlfriend's family WRider.

Good fortune to you, and the one you love. I can only hope that medical science is capable enough to see you through this darkness.

Damn, I hate hearing stuff like this.

I wish you and your girlfriend the best and I'll go pray to the Big Guy and see if he can pull out a favor or two for me.

So sorry to hear that WRider.

I think one of the most frustrating things to have to go through is seeing loved ones suffer without being able to help in a tangible manner.

What's left can be just as beneficial thought: being supportive, patient and present during this trial.

I'll be praying for you both as well.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes. Rest assured that each one meant a lot to me even though I did not reply. I am a stranger to most of you and still you took time to write comforting words so thank you.

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that my girlfriend passed away yesterday early in the evening. I was with her at the end along with her mother and brother and her father arrived shortly after. Even though we did not get the ending we hoped, I still love her and miss her.

We were long time friends but only started dating recently. She was perfect for me though...I could not have hoped for anyone better. If there is one thing that I learned during this is that you have to appreciate the people you love in your life. Let them know what they mean to you...don't wait.

Take care all,
WRider

Cherish the memories, that is her legacy to you.

She will always live on in your heart.

Rider, I'm very sorry for the loss of your Love. Will pray for peace and healing for each of you.

You are right, we should never wait to tell those we care about, we love them.
