Execution Date May 21, 2008
AceBugdozer was created for me by son. He is not just mere pixels on the screen. He has his own personality. This game was so much deeper then a game for our family. It bonded us in a time when crisis was at it worst. It gave me and my son the magic of Disney Parks and the strength to make it- to hang on. They made our avatars look so much like little people that i truley do not know what I will do on that fearful day. It is like they are mass killing a population.
I feel very helpless. My son is beyond devastated. This game gave him hope when he felt he had none, a sense of belonging to a greater community. I was able to save the real slinkyman before but I feel so helpless in saving the virtual one-not sure i can bear to watch him die.
To my son THANK YOU. You let your mother into your virtual world and we enjoyed over 2 years of amazing connection. We laughed cried shared good times and bad and VMK became part of our lives. I will never let go of the memeory of the fun we have had and seeing the joy a simple game brought to your face.
To my friends I love you all. Two most important friends Smalld and Laurabearz words will do no justice to how I feel. Smalld you were always and are always there a true friend no matter what. My Bearz little avatar reached through my screen and grabbed on for a crazy wild ride she did not have to do. She is a kind soul caring, passionate and always there. We will be great friends without VMK but I will miss our cute little avatars.
To the staff we love you all to. Host Lily Hula and Fin your kindness and caring shines through everyday. This was more then a job to you.
Dear Hula i will never forget the most touching thing you did. Shortly after Slinkyman was diagnosed I was alone in my room. You came in to talk to me and you told me you wanted me to know that you were thinking of us and hoping the best for slinkyman. You wanted to send him a hat during the hat drive Bearz did for him but you could get in trouble if you did and I told you that it was not worth risking your job over-you showed you cared. I will never forget that moment it is forever saved in memeory.
Dear Lily you are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Always cute funny whimsical and your true love of kids, Disney and the players shine through daily. We have so many happy memories with you. You captured Ink's heart and helped guide him in the right direction. We are forever great full to you for how much you loved us all.
Dear Fin you are the stability we all needed in the game. You were always there, we could count on Fin. You worked hard to guide us all in the right direction yet did it with a gentle kindness. You kept your calm in the face of countless complaints and were always there with hugs.
So it will be with heavy heart that I bid good bye to our little people:
So:
Bugdozer, AceBugdozer, slinkyman, Smalld, Laurabearz- may your little avatars burn brightly in our memories. They may take you from our computer screen but the will NEVER take you from our Hearts.
REST IN PEACE
