Someone much in love with this game, my mother, the person I spoke with about everything my characters did - the person who expressed interest in hearing and learning of this wonderful game of ours - the person who encouraged me to play and write - passed away at the age of fifty-five last night, 11.23.10.
It's a tough time for me, and for my family, and I need to be there for them. As such, I've decided to take a break from Arm for an undetermined length of time. This isn't good-bye forever, this is a see you around.
Arm, I shall miss you while I'm gone.
It is very hard to lose someone, Attana, especially someone as beautiful and loved as one's mother. I hope you know you and she will be in many people's thoughts and hearts. You have my deepest condolence.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Sorry to hear this - we'll be here when you get back. For now, pay attention to what's important. You have my prayer.
I really cannot possibly express, in words, how sorry I am for you, Attana.
Have strength and see you, in due time.

I'm so sorry to hear this. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
*HUGS*
Stay strong, keep the joy of your memories in your heart, and celebrate the time you got to spend with such a wonderful person.
You're in my thoughts.
Best wishes. I'm sorry to hear and I do hope you and your family the best. Be strong, we will be here waiting for your return.
Best wishes and Hopes to you and your family, Attana.
Well, I truly know how this feels, and I am so very sorry. I found that ARM was a great distraction for me when my mom was dying and I was trying to numb my brain out so I wouldn't cry 24/7, but then right afterwards, not so much. Please take very good care of yourself and your family. Love helps.
Best of wishes. Come back when you are ready and we will all have happy Arm times together again.
**Biggest Hugs Ever****
I'm so sorry to hear this, Attana. RL always comes first, the game will be here when you are ready for it again. You will be missed, and you and your family will be our thoughts and prayers!

I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Attana.
And you have my best wishes in life coming forward.
I look forward to seeing you playing Arm one day again in the future.
Im so sorry Attana, if you need anything let me know.
Death is a reality, but it doesn't mean we have to be happy about it. Condolences.
Condolences.
Keep your head up darlin. We'll be waiting and keeping it rolling until your return.
Sincerest of condolences to you and yours, Attana. I'm sure she'll be awaiting your next adventure in Zalanthas with bated breath, in a better place than ours.
I'm sorry to hear about this Steph, I know she's been sick for awhile. I'm sending good and peaceful thoughts and lots of love your way. You have my number - stay in touch.
Randomly thought of you the other day, and wishing well, now. Hope you're alright.
