Of Parting, and Family

Goodbye BRK.

/cry

Every family man with enough kid in him to play the craft has run into the WoW vs. Family dilemma. Having a 'Redheaded Maelstrom' of a wife myself, I think I identify with BRK's situation more than most.

I missed two days of raiding this last weekend, to do things for my family, missing a chance to loot the Envoy of Mortality from KT, and be in on the guild first kill of Maly 25.

Did it bother me? Oh hell yes. But you take a deep breath, and move on.

When in doubt, I try to err on the side of the family. I may not get to raid as much as I'd like, or have all the best gear.

But I have balance.

Gaming is my hobby, and the truth is, someday there will be a bigger better game than World of Warcraft.

But there will never be a greater challenge, or adventure, than loving the woman I do and raising my son into a good man.

This feels like a complidis.

I don't think citing the fact that you challenge me to be a better man is a dis.

Unless you meant the redheaded maelstrom part...in which case, have you met yourself?
