Warcraft in the Family Crossfire, Shandris Anonymous, Anonymous I am a 50 year old grandma who loves to play World of Warcraft. I also have four grown children who play, two of which got me hooked about two years ago. I am a stay-at-home grandma, while my daughter and her hubby are deployed to Afghanistan at the moment. I hadn't spoke with my youngest daughter in a long time, and when my youngest son moved in with us, we got his sister into it also; now we quest, raid, and just have plain old fun. I can say World of Warcraft has brought my family back together. I recently found out I have two tumors in my chest and will be having surgery on the 11th of September...of all days, and plan to be sitting and playing World of Warcraft during my recuperation. I am a survivor of breast cancer, and am praying that it hasn't returned, but if it has, I'll be playing 'til my last breath! I have made tons of new friends through playing World of Warcraft and have also made a couple of enemies. Overall though, I have learned to relax and have fun and use my brain for something other than the drama of real life. I can escape for a couple of hours and in the end I have no worries other than maybe the next achievement or leveling of a lower character. We have four computers lined up along one wall and make fun of the South Park episode all the time and how our situation sometimes mimics that particular program. My young granddaughters are already getting into this game, and I hope to play alongside them when they are old enough To all my World of Warcraft friends... you're awesome. -- --rr--
