Well, the Running of Da Bulls is done. I’ve read each and every post left here. I’ve cried, I’ve smiled… I even laughed while crying any number of times. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done–this trying to get through the grief. But my heartfelt thanks to each person who took their time to send their wishes, to console us in our grief, to find a special way to honor Sharvan’s memory.

The Running was an amazing event and my daughter would have had more fun than you can imagine if she’d been able to go. My husband, son, and I ran. We mooed and we missed her. What more can we do? It was something Shar wanted, for us all to go and have fun. It is “just a game,” but the people behind the characters are real. Family WoW nights will never be the same, but this is a place where, in some strange way, I find a bit of solace. I play the little priest she made me pick back up, after letting her sit unplayed for a couple of years. Shar told me I had to level up to 70 so I could play with her…so now I play, I cry, I grieve, I miss my daughter, but I play because this is one thing I can do, when there is nothing more I can do about so many things.

To each member of AC and everyone else who thought of my daughter with kindness, thank you. For the help with the expenses of her passing, we thank you too. It is certainly not the act of anonymous players … it is the kindness and generosity of real people, with real lives, and great compassion.

We will honor my daughter’s memory on the night of May 17th. If you find yourself with a moment to light a candle in the darkness, whisper a “moo” to the moon, and wish her well on her journey, I know it won’t go unheeded.

To BRK & Ratshag – thank you both. You’re both amazing men and my family will never forget your kindnesses.

I can’t attend the running this weekend but I was so moved by reading the post and all the comments of love and support that I chose to honor Shar in my own little way today. I took the time to create my lvl 1 Tauren and run him from Mulgore to the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior on the mountaintop in the barrens. While I was running I took the time to just enjoy the scenery in this beautiful game that will always be something special for so many, Not because it was a game they spent alot of time in but more because it forged relationships that will last a long, long time. I spent the 20 minutes it took me to run from the Tauren starting area to the mountaintop shrine and reflected on the people who make this more than a game. When my journey finally ended I knelt and had a moment of silence for Sharvan and and all the others that have gone before her. I then gave the loudest /MOO and /Y MOOOOOO I possibly could hoping that it might have been heard even as a whisper on a distant breeze throughout the entire game. My corpse named ForShar is now on the ground in front of the shrine in a tribute that will last as long as I play this game.

Rest well Sharvan

I am so sorry for your loss. Condolences to Sharvan’s family and friends. I am sure that the tribute of the Running of the Bulls would have made her happy and proud.

A heart felt prayer goes out to AC and Sharvan’s family…

Quick Question : Rather than go NORTH from Camp Taurajo, can we cross over to the Eastern Kingdoms via Theramore Marsh and Menethil Harbor?

Oh my. /hangs head /cry

‘Tis the power of the Internet that what would have, even 10 years ago, been a sad parting amongst close friends and family is now an event thousands experience and react to.

We didn’t know her but we all understand grief and the need to reach out in comfort. From Spectacular Death on Llane, a moo for all of you and several moments of silence in Sharvan’s memory. Would that we are all loved as much as she was.

My deepest condolences to Sharvan’s family in-game and espacially in-real-life…

Losing a dear and cherished member always hurts but take solace in the fact that she is in a better place.
