Hello fellow Guardians, Please allow me to share my story and maybe get a little emotional here for a moment. (I hope I'm not violating any rules with this post) Since the release of Destiny, I've played with my mom. We've gone on strikes together, raided together, we even saw the fall of Atheon and Crota together! She rocked that Suros Regime like nobody's business! When Trials of Osiris came, we both fell in love with that sweet Warlock Helmet. My mom loves Egyptian culture and one of her favorite movies and shows is Stargate. We both are unfortunately not that skilled in the Crucible and therefore resigned that we would not ever get our hands on that beautiful helmet. We secretly envied anyone that had one. Now comes The Taken King and we were ready to send him back into the Darkness... but sadly, I never got the chance to take down Oryx with her. On August 21st, she went into the hospital with severe shortness of breath. It turns out that her lungs were filling with fluid and had to be drained. Follicular Lymphoma was attacking her system faster than we could fight back and on September 22nd at 1:23am, she passed away. Even now I still fight back the tears of that dreadful day. I still play Destiny, thinking of her all the time. It was US. It was what we did together. Although she's not with me, she's always been my Guardian! This week's Trials of Osiris armor piece is the Helmet. I know I'm not good enough to get it... but I made it my mission to try. I wanted to do it for her. I put out a post on DestinyLFG and found 2 Guardians willing to help me reach my goal. I didn't explain any of my reasoning other than just telling them I wanted to get the helmet. I didn't want them to feel bad in any way if we failed in getting to 5 wins. So after some very grueling battles and my complete failure as a teammate, we did it! We got to 5 wins and we all received helmets!!! It was a super great feeling! I thanked them and had to mute my mic because I immediately began crying! It took me a few minutes to regain my composure... and even now I'm still super emotional about it. I know it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's in a video game... but for me it means so much more. I LOVE my mom with all my heart and I'm just so glad that I was able to win that... not for me... but for US! My life is still kind of a mess right now, but at least for this moment... I am happy! Sorry if this has been long or incoherent or contains spelling and grammar issues... I'm just trying to get this all down because I wanted to share my story with every one. And to the two Guardians that helped me today, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! You're the real MVPs! This was for my mom, "Team Captain [b]Eozanthea[/b], The Herald of Fate" [url]http://imgur.com/oVfl895[/url] [i]Edit[/i]: Wow! So I just wanted to Thank everyone for all the nice things you've all said! It was pretty hard for me to post this, but at the same time, I really wanted to share this with you all. I can't really reply to you all, so I'll try to answer a few questions here. Firstly, I'm not seeking attention, I'm just a very emotional person, I always have been. I'm not looking for Bungie to give me anything or give me special treatment. I'm just a son that loves his mother very much. Second: I'm old. ;) Old enough to have played games with my mom on the Atari 2600! Third, thanks for the offers to get me to the Lighthouse! I'm not the greatest player and I don't expect you all to carry me! That's asking way too much! Thank you all again for the well wishes, I truly do appreciate them all! [i]Edit #2: [/i] My goodness everyone! I truly can not express how good reading all your comments has made me feel! Believe me, I do read every single one, the good and the bad. I'm really glad to know that my story has touched you all. To everyone here who has lost someone special in their life and shared it here, I Thank You! It's not easy to deal with such tragedy, but sometimes sharing it, even with complete strangers on the internet, helps! To the people that doubt my story, I understand. The internet is a funny place, it can be hard to tell when someone is being sincere or when someone is just trolling for whatever reason. I promise you, my story is very real. Find me on twitter with the same user name I have here and go back a bit, you'll see that I'm not making up stories to garner attention or to prey on others. My pain and joy in this story is very very real! Thank you all so very much for taking the time to read my story. Please take care of yourselves and remember to tell your family and friends that you Love and care for them! You never know what the future holds! For all those asking, I'm on PS4. My PSN name is [spoiler]Marty--McFly[/spoiler] for anyone looking to run some more Trials with me in the future! :)
