Greetings traveler, please stay awhile...
Let me tell you a story about my friend...

We get to know each other about 6-7 months ago when he joined my group.... He was in his early 30's and had everything every man desire, good job, great wife, even became a father of a lovely boy few months ago, and above all of that always had time for games.
He was in minority of ones who understood and laugh on my black humor, and had best fun trolling other members ^^
I wont even speak of his generosity and giveaways... he was the best of us.

But people saying that everything perfect doesent last forever... and it doesen't...
We were chating and playing almost daily, and our community is like family you dont go away for few days not leting your group brothers know about it.
So after 5 days offline I got a little worried and message him on facebook...and nothing... 10 days after his wife contacted me with terrible news, while she was writing me, I couldnt know what is it, I know him very well that he wouldnt run away, or end up in hospital, but then she said that worst thing possible happend, he suddenly died... I was staring at monitor, got over cold sweat and instant sickness in my stomach... what to say... feeling lost, depressed ... what to say to woman that lost her husband, cant imagine her feelings when Im crushed...

I barely managed streinght to tell this to rest of the people... for days chat was empty, or no one talked... my wife called me crazy for being depressed for man I never personaly met. That night I couldnt sleep, first thing in morning I went to church and light candle for him... I can say I know the feeling now loosing someone you love.

One month earlier we were talking of going together on vacation with our families... but life is a bitch.... now month later day cant pass that I dont remember you my friend. You will always be in my heart <3
There is so much I want to tell about him... but longer I write this it is harder... I cant ... maybe I will edit it if I get in better mood, I dont know...

We decided to make a little train in his name here on sg, as his goodbye to this community.

I would like to please you, no generic thanks.
Take your tickets here
Most of games are from his wishlist, Batman series was his favorite games, and some cheaper for noncontributors.

Great train, sadly couldn't enter most of em which I was interested in. So only entered like once only, but good luck for everyone else who has been able to provide more to the community!

Condolences on the passing of great friend. Sad part of life indeed, and probably won't be the last sorrow in life that you will face. But hopefully the good times balance it out in end so that you can feel having fulfilling life before passing away yourself.

Also Enjoy da bump!

I definitely have a number of close friends gained through gaming sites so to read this truly saddened me. Just because you never met doesn't take away the pain and the loss :-( Seriously, I am so sorry.

A couple of years ago, I was pretty friendly with one guy and he just sort of vanished - well at least he said he needed a break. I reached out a few times to check in and eventually he came back for a while only to vanish again. Fortunately we're friends on FB so I periodically check his and his wife's pages but it struck me that without that connection, if something happened to most people I hang out with and consider my friends, I'd never really know what happened. So now when I truly make a connection with someone, I see if they're willing to connect in some other way - phone, email or FB. Friends are friends - virtual or IRL.

Anyway, I'm glad that you had a way to find out but also really sorry for the bad news. sending you some virtual {{hugs}}

Also, to everyone that contributed to the train, what a truly nice memorial. It was touching and heartfelt.

ugh, terrible to hear that.
i know how you feel, i have lost 3 people i had close contact with via internet and it doesn't get any easier than dealing with a real life friend.

based on the few replies i've read from myrdden in the forums i assume he was a cool guy. a pity to lose someone like that.

Can't say much in times like these. I always wonder if there is even something to say that will actually help the friends or family.
As in "real world", I will just leave a hug.

:( I would miss lots of users I only chit-chat with on the forums, I can't really dare to think about losing someone really close to me. Though the situation is sadly of familiar, I also lost my father only few months after my birth.
Also I hope it's not a problem I didn't comment on the giveaways. It just feels bad for me to bump many people's giveaways + this topic with meaningless thanks / varied comments.

Really sorry, I feel you, and that's a very great train for him.
I recently lost a virtual friend too in Nepal's earthquake, we weren't so close but I saw him irl a couple of times and I was very affected when I saw that he was missing.

This was sadder to read with the music playing in the background. I've got a few Online friends I care for deeply and would be crushed if something happened to them. I was crushed when I heard one of the members of Cyndago committed suicide despite never meeting them. It goes to show no matter what a bond can be forged even if there is no physical interactions after all it's not our body that forges these bonds, but our minds and our hearts. Have a bump and I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for you loss.

Some friendships made over the internet tend to be far deeper and more emotional than those friendships made in real life. It sounds like yours was like that.
