Mom threw out my Bungie Day tshirt

I dropped out of my freshman year of college midway through 2nd semester, it was just a crappy first year that I wasn't at all prepared for. My depression kept getting worse, my GPA was a solid 0 and I wanted to just be done. I packed up all my stuff: computer, supplies, decorations, and clothing and moved home a week after spring break. My parents had one condition: I must have all my boxes unpacked by Memorial Day. Easy enough, I had about 8 boxes to go through in about a month and a half, so I agreed. I got about 3 boxes done within 2 weeks, one contained a majority of my clothes and toiletries (keep in mind I dragged everything I felt I needed to college with me, I was a stupid freshman). All the while I was doing this task, I was also searching for a job, I wasn't just going to leach off of my parent's generosity with letting me stay at home (counting they paid for college which I completely -blam-ed up royally). Well I ended up getting a full time job as a zoo keeper taking care of the giraffes at the local zoo, a job I couldn't be happier with! :) In addition to that I also worked part time as a janitor for my dad's company. Well as many of you know work ends up eating most of your time, and on top of that I am the only one of three other siblings in the house who will willingly run errands and help my parents. So a lot of my time was gone. Well I ended up getting 4 more boxes done and it was the week before Memorial Day, the last box contained all my kitchen items (silverware, plates, pots, pans, cups, a crockpot, you know the basics). I already took care of the box that contained most of my clothing as I mentioned above, so I felt as though I didn't need to take of this one especially fast because I don't have any use for kitchen objects already available in my house. I got home from work on Friday with the intention of getting this last box taken care of, ran to the dining room where all my crap was, only the box wasn't there. I ran upstairs expecting it to be sitting at the foot of my bed, but it wasn't there either. I then asked my mom where she put the box, she told me that she had cleaned it out as a favor for helping out so much around the house, it was a gesture of kindness so I wasn't mad :) Only I come to find out that she had gone through my shirts and donated everything that looked "too small". My Bungie Day T-shirt was one of the pieces of clothing that was donated. That shirt was the best shirt I have ever owned. I ordered that shirt on July 7, 2011 during my team's lunch break at 2 PM for our 24 hour Halo Reach party. I was the only one in the party to have started at 12 AM and played till 12 AM (central time, I know it wasn't the official start time) and I remember skipping lunch during band camp about a week later just to run home and grab the shirt to show it to my friends (I even have the Bungie Day card framed! Check out the pics!). I kept this shirt was a proud reminder that I was a supporter of Bungie. I wouldn't call them my idols, but I'd call them a true inspiration of what you can accomplish if you have a dream, a passion, and can remember to have fun accomplishing the goals you set (honestly the "O Brave New World" video was about the only thing that kept my hopes up in the really bad parts of my year at college, and it's still an inspiration that I watch maybe once a week). But anyway the shirt is gone. I'm not mad at my mother, she did a very kind thing for me, but I am saddened that my shirt is no longer with me. I thought for one shining second that the Bungie store might have have some for sale, but upon checking I found not one, so I checked eBay and amazon as well, still no luck. If anyone does know where I can buy one please let me know! It will never be the same as my first one, but at least it will be the same style shirt! Btw the pic is a group of people from my school from last summer going to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, take a guess at which one is me. I even wore it there, not only was it representative of my favorite company, but it was also one of the most breathable and comfortable shirts I have ever owned! And it will be missed :(
