I sit here, believe it or not crying...(yes, i have ALWAYS been a sap)....RL beckons with more than i can juggle with all the thrills and chills of wow. its a long, sad story....I have now stripped and deleted most of my chars. i have sent various things to people i knew could use the items or to theonebank for all the guild to benefit from. deleting "grace", the adorable siamese kitten schnubart rescued out of the depths of deadmines as a surprise for me, and then saying farewell to "sprocket" the very first critter creature schnubart put into my arms, just about broke me lol...i had to go find another box of tissue!! *laughs*.....i thought the "hard part" was over until it came to taking off my guild tabard....
"PLEASE NO! NOT the One Tabard!!" my heart wails.i thought of sending it to the onebank, but just havent brought myself to do it yet.
somehow, it was easy (in a rather difficult sense lol) to say goodbye to wow, than it has been to come to terms with not chatting with my second family anymore. this is the only reason i am thinking of leaving a rather cold, naked bluesdiva on the game...so if nothing else when i can, i can jump on and chat with everyone i will miss so terribly, the guild i refuse to completely "let go of". *sigh*
i can't begin to put into words how much each of you have come to mean to me. the kindess and love you show to perfect strangers is like a warm cup of tea on a cold Iron Forge day. 
i do not know yet if we will discontinue my account, or just "put it on a hold" for awhile. i've deleted all my other chars on my other servers....bluesdiva is the only that remains (however naked and broke she is lol) because this is the only place i'd want to remain,..and the absolute first place i'd "come home" to if/when i am able to start actively playing again.
i am a terrible sap lol....but know i send my best wishes,
and all my love to each of you.
~Bluesdiva,
the "tabard-only" elf...
in memory of the Great One Stormwind Tabard Swimming Party. *smiles*
Very sad news but glad that you kept the tabard as a memory
I sent you a personal email.
It was an honour to know you, young elder one !!!
