    Default Might be gone, might be here more

    Last night (11 p.m. GMT -8) my children's biological father died of heart failure following a 3 week battle from severe injuries sustained in a massive car wreck.

    I just wanted everyone to know that I might be going away from the forums for a while. If I am gone this is why.

    On the other hand, I use the computer to "get away and play" so the flip side is I may be on here more constantly.

    I can't tell at this point, it will all depend on how much the kid's want/need me around/with them, and how much time they want to be just left alone.

    Just wanted to give a heads up in case it turns out to be the former, I won't just disappear like Mike did

    Wow... I don't really know what to say. Your family is more important, so I'm sure we'll understand if you're not here for a while.

    As said before, family comes first. Don't really know what else to say but sorry to hear that.

    Did BLiZZaRD just ask the internet to stop using it?

    Hope your kids are okay.

    Yes. Can the internet shut down for a few days?

    Most likely I will be on more than ever, I am leaving work now and will be home for several days to help the kids cope.

    So far everyone is doing as well as can be expected. Thank you for your wishes, I will pass them along.

    Now I am going to go home and try to get some sleep (as the call came in last night at 11:45 p.m. and I was just about to doze before getting ready for work) wow.. have I really been up for 42 hours? Crikey!

    I shall return!
