It's been a year since Lee died and I just wanted to finally thank all of you who took time out of your days to remember him or to comment. Thank you so much especially for all the personal notes I received. I know he would smile to hear that at some point in time, in a video game of all places - that he meant something to you. Love him or "hate" him, Lee wore his heart on his sleeve (or his forum posts, anyway).
You may not know that Lee and I actually met in Lotro. The video that he put together years ago - "
Through an Elf's Eyes" (Part I) actually documents the whole thing (in addition to his entire Moors experience up through his Rank 12 before he quit the game). We even had screenshots of the night we first "met" in a raid. I had never PVP'd before and Lee was the raid leader. I watch it sometimes but not too often. I'm so relieved I have a weird Internet record of how it all happened. I also love that after all these years I can still recognize people in the video by their gear, lol. Jimmycake, Ophelia, Wulfhen, Rahkyt, Dregun, Naveras, Budhorn, Swifteye, Dowhat, Nandir, Vinlassis, Echelon, Cel, and so many more. He loved this game and the Moors was really the only reason he played as long as he did.
I hope those of you who read this and remember us, are well, and enjoying this holiday season with loved ones. Lee did love this time of year - but mostly because of college football and chili making contests. He was pretty much in the holiday spirit all year round tbh. The truth is, he brought a million rays of light to my life. Literally until his last breath on earth. We miss him so much.
Love,
Jaiyne
