One Year Later

Last year, my friend Shadow Ravenwolf posted this thread to let my Guardian Family know about the sudden loss of my mother.

Today is one year since my mother passed away. It seems like it's been a lifetime, but it also seems like it was just yesterday.

I want to say thank you to all my family and friends who helped me through this past year. I'm grateful for each and every one of you.

Thank you.

i know from personal experience that it's hard on the anniversary of a parent's death: my mom died in october of 2006 after a 11yr battle with cancer. you and your family have my condolences, kheldarn.

the pain does fade with time for most people but it's important to remember the good times like the holidays. i remember christmas best by the 'peanuts' christmas ornaments my mom made [with dad on the jigsaw to cut out the basic shapes she outlined] for the yard: snoopy on dog house; charlie brown; lucy; sally; and linus. hope you have good memories too.

please excuse the small print. arthritis makes it difficult to use the shift keys.

I have nothing but good memories. And an office filled to overflowing with my mother's Garfield stuff, right Shadow?

I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer in September 2004.

I quit this game shortly after that.

I came back a week later, after many friends and family in real life made me realize that I needed to continue doing things normally, including my hobbies and pastimes, like City of Heroes, if I was to work my way though the pain and sense of loss.

Seven years later I count Guardian and it's community as part of my online family.

We help each other in many ways, from coping with loss, to doing that one last mission to hit 50. And a lot of us wouldn't want it any other way.
