2nd Annual Rememberance Day (July 24th, 2012)

quadraptor's picture
This is an announcement for an event I will be hosting on Tuesday, July 24th, the 2nd anniversary of my Dad's passing away. We will also dedicate this to those in the Aurora, CO shooting, our prayers go out to them as well.

Date - July 24th, 2012
Time - All day (I'll try to log into the Forest around 7:00 AM CST, and will most likely log out around 8:00-10:00 PM CST)
Place - Run's memorial near the Ruins (see below for a few screenshots of where to sit)
We prefer you sit around the light, and please do not stand/dance in the center.
No dress code, wear whatever you have on at the time.

Here is where we will be sitting at:







Look for Quad, and please feel free to sit with him as long as you'd like. Please keep in mind that I will not be at my laptop the entire time, but just being there with Quad if only for a little while is all you need to do.

If you guys don't mind, please take screenshots for me. And if you can't make it, please don't feel bad, I understand completely.

-----------------------

Another year has passed, and it feels like only yesterday when we were by Dad's side, both in the hospital and at home. We try daily to remember him, to remember little things he enjoyed, to spark memories about who he was and to keep our legacy burning. Now as things have begun to get better for my life, I know Dad is watching and smiling proudly. Dad always said to 'roll with the punches', and now I kind of understand what he meant.

For those who do not know what this is about - my father passed away on July 24th, 2010, of liver and rectal cancer. It took about a year for things to get to their 'new normal', but things have never really been the same without Dad.

I would like to thank the Endless Forest community for your continued support and encouragement. I don't know where I would be without you all.


My brother made this video and posted it on Facebook last year. I just thought it would be something you guys would like to see, and my brother makes wonderful videos.

I might be able to be there

I might be able to be there during some hours, but I will be flying to Florida sometime during the day so I won't be there the whole time.
I have a Master's degree in Wumbology.

Can-do. I might not be able

Can-do. I might not be able to be there the whole time, though, because when my computer goes into sleep mode, it often makes the TEF client crash.

Thanks for all the interest

Thanks for all the interest guys. I will mention that my new laptop does that too where it may 'lock' if I'm not at it after a while, so I could get kicked off if that is the case. I'll try not to let this happen but if Quad's not there the whole time please feel free to sit and enjoy the event until I get him back in. I may be doing things with Mom as well so I'll try my best to keep Quad in the entire time.

Alright this has started a few minutes early since I'm already up. If you're in the Forest and want to come sit for a while, we're at Run's memorial (the bright sun spot near the Ruins).

Thanks to everyone who has

Thanks to everyone who has shown up so far and to those who are here in spirit.

I will just mention that Mom wants me to do something later today so there will be a moment where I'm not there. I'll try to come back as soon as I can. In the meantime feel free to stay as long as you'd like.

Alright Mom wants me to do

Alright Mom wants me to do chores so I will be away from the computer for a little while. if Quad disappears it's because of my laptop 'locking' when it goes into screensaver mode, it disconnects me from the internet when it does this. Pretty annoying really.

Thank you all who are there now, and I'll try not to be too long

Thanks for the screenshots,

Thanks for the screenshots, I'm having an issue with mine where it's not taking any when I press "P". I'll have to check the forums to see if anyone else is having this issue.

I was listening to this song just now and thought it was fitting, so I wanted to post it...

Hey thanks for coming! You

Hey thanks for coming! You could have left at any time XD

About 2 hours and 45 minutes left until I'll say the event is over. Doesn't mean you guys can't stick around if you'd like. I'm glad you all are having a nice moment to reflect and show solace, I have certainly taken that from these events myself.
