Dear friends
I am writing this to all my friends in Entropia Universe..
It is with a sad heart I am making this thread and writing to you today. After fighting cancer for four hard years, my beloved wife, Tone past away from us last night. At 20:40 PM wednesday the 6th of february 2008 she drew her breath for the last time. She had all her close family with her for the last hours, and she was not in pain. Her face was peaceful, she was not afraid to die, and I am glad I was there holding her hand when she fell asleep for the last time. She would have turned 29 in the beginning of march this year.
We have always thought that it was a reason she had to carry this burden. Together Tone & I were strong enough to turn our hard situation into something positive. And thousands of people have followed us in the last years on our website, and through norwegian media. We made it our goal to make a difference for other people suffering from diseases or struggling with other matters in their life. Our mission made us strong, and if it wasn't for Tone's strong mind and will to fight, she would have been dead a long time ago. With over 7500 confirmations by posts in our guestbook over the last 1,5 year, were Tone had her diary, I would say that our mission is completed.
Her last wish was to have christmas with me and our family, and since that she has only wanted to rest and sleep. So even tho I can't put words to how sad I am that she is gone, I know that she left in peace and harmony with her self. And that this was the only way this journey could ever end.
I am telling you all this because I know you care about me, and I want you to know. I want you to know that I am ok, but if I behave strange, want to be on my own ones in a while or don't want to talk much. It is because I am going through a hard time in my life right now.
I would also like you to know that you are all part of the reason I am still doing ok. All the fun times in events on CND, all the teamhunts and chats all night long with alot of you people out there. You all know who you are, even tho you didn't know, you have all helped me dealing with the hard periods, and helped Tone & me in our fight against cancer. And I am sure you will play a huge part of me dealing with the hard periods to come as well. And for that I would like to thank you all.
I will like you all not to dwell with this when talking with me ingame in the future. I use EU as recreation, so lets play and have fun as always, doing that is the best way you all can help me dealing with this. If Tone was here to talk with you, this is what she would have wanted you to do as well. I found a poem that says alot about how she was and the way she was thinking. I would like to share that with you here:
Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there ...... I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there ...... I did not die.
Tone was all about the small positive things in this world, and how they can make your day if you just have the ability to notice them.
Rest in peace my love, I will never forget you!
