Goodbye?

[Echos]

Recently, my family, which has been quite wealthy, has gone bankrupt. We are flat broke. This is probably the last month for me on the internet, and we might sell our computer soon, as well as our large house.

Please don't flame me or lock/delete this thread, it is for all my friends to read, just incase they wonder about me, therefore anybody I know on Graal.

I've known that this day was coming since September, and I pushed it into the back of my mind, trying to enjoy myself in the house I grew up in, and enjoying my computer stuff and video games. Now it seems that all that will have to be sold, I am in a family of 5, my mom, day, brother, sister, and I. I would like to say goodbye to all in advance, how far in advance, I do not know, hopefully something will happen and we will spring back up, but there seems to be no way. I'd make a list of all my friends, but that would be useless, I consider all my friends here, and I will continue on in Graal until my day has come, goodbye my friends. :(

I just have to say that you do not deserve that punishment...nor do any of us in this forum, in this country, in this world. I don't like goodbyes... I know I have seen some pretty sad ones, but this is just unexplainable... Don't worry, I trust that your family can get themselves out of this, just like you have gotten yourself out of those many hard times on graal such as PK rages... God bless you...

Its sad when life deals you a rotten blow but we all must try to get thru it and move on and do the best with what we have and not think about what was.I am a firm believer that you can do anything you set your mind to , I have lost a brother to a drunk driver and have a bitter divorce which took me 20 years to get to know my oldest daughter and that was really hard on me to be apart from her and not to get to see her or get to see her grow up and yet I never gave up hope and now after all these years we are getting to know each other and I even have a 4 yearold Grand daughter from her and it is looking alot brighter now so never give up hope , it make take along time but nothing is impossible. :)

Even though I never knew you personally, anyone who let Kaimetsu use their account is cool as they can be :) . I'm sorry to learn of your misfortune :( . My dad got laid off from his job in November, and being the only one having good luck bringing money in this past year (real estate sucked for my mom) we are currently living off of our stored money. He's hopefully getting a job again real soon and maybe your father can find work as well.

Suicide is never the way to solve anyone's problems. Do you think your parents would really want to go on living off of money they collected from your death? It would be a haunting reminder to them. You just have to take what life throws at you, and I hope that your family can persevere through this.

[AlkarenHyralt]

That's rough man, sorry to hear you and your family must got through with that. I hope everyting works out in the end for you all, though. :(

Trueheat, I just said I was from Vancouver, it's simpler than explaining where Chilliwack (45 minute drive away) was.

Beowulf, you're right, I guess I shouldn't, that would make matters worse. Your story sounds very like mine, best of you luck to you. As my mom keeps repeating (I think she snapped), When one door closes, another opens.

Once again, thanks for your support. Right now, it's really cold, a Canadian Winter x.x , and we can't have heat, so we have to use a lot of blankets.

My situation is no where near as serious as yours is. We still have three or four months left of reserves that we can use before we have to seriously panic. We'll make it through, I think =P. I really wish there was something I could do to help you. I feel so awful reading this and being so helpless :( .

[Echos]

It'll be alright. As some of you may know, I had tons of ideas for games, I'm very creative. I was planning on making the games myself, but because this happened, maybe I could find a way to sell the ideas, and make money off that for a few more months
