Blessed

I've always tried to keep my blog entries to be strictly about my in-game adventures, but this entry will be an exception.

I started up this game almost 4 years ago, thanks to a very good friend who had sparked my interest in the MMO. I had never played an MMO before in my life, and I was very thankful that he ended up coming back to the game (as he had previously quit months before) when I joined. He helped me with so much in this game, and I know that without him I might of been one of the many players that get too frustrated and quit in the first month.

He taught me the ropes of the game, and always pushed me to play to the best of my ability. I remember my very first dunes party, while I was filled with confusion to the many different concepts of the game he helped me learn what a skillchain was and I felt really accomplished for being a brand new player and having learned the timing just right. I remember when I started playing MNK in Qufim, I eventually got annoyed with the "tanks" who weren't holding hate which resulted in my WHM getting hit, how I eventually decided to change my main job to PLD and become his tank, so that he would never have to worry about taking a hit. So many good memories...

It wasn't long before our friendship became something more, and just like we were in-game, we were inseperable in real life.

But life isn't always smooth sailing. Eventually a time would come when things wouldn't be as we both wanted.

The truth though, is that everything in life happens for a reason. And that reason, I believe is God.

Almost a year has gone by since that real life change. I never really gave up hoping though.

As it turns out, he never did either.

And now, for reasons I don't ever think i'll ever be able to justify, I am blessed to be given a second chance. I am blessed to have someone I cared for deeply, return to me. I am thankful, and I am happy beyond words.

I still have some reservations but one thing I can say with the utmost sincerity: I am very happy for you. :) This past week it seems as if a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders. I wish you the best.
