Dec. 26th, 2006 to May 15th, 2008
Hilda passed away on May 15th 2008. She met her demise at the hands of a child who wanted to go on yet another adventure. Hilda was born in December of 2006. During her short life she was always up for a challenge and ready to play. She was always there when needed, whether for fun or to just relieve stress.
As much as she was loved, there were days when her power cord was hidden so she could get some rest. (I hid the power cord in a closet). Those days caused a lot of strife in the family. On several occasions after midnight, Hilda could be found having "special moments of time" with my husband. I would put my wedding ring on top of Hilda's game console. As well, I would place a set of pillows and a blanket next to her. I was trying to make the point that I thought my husband was spending too much time with Hilda, but my husband ignored my blunt attempt at getting his attention. Thus, in the end, Hilda won and my husband would keep on playing with Hilda.
Although I held no love for Hilda, I acknowledge that she brought fun into the lives of my husband (TOO MUCH) and joy to her young sons. Hilda will be GREATLY, GREATLY, GREATLY missed and mourned by D. and missed by E and C.
Although I will not mourn the loss of Hilda, I'll have to live with and deal with my gaming husband's stress over losing his mistress.
There will be a private family funeral at an undisclosed place. Flowers or money can be donated in memory of Hilda X BOX 360 to the charity of one's choosing.
(D., we can return Hilda for a new X BOX 360. We just need to send the old one to Microsoft and I hear the turnaround date is quick. I have researched this so you WILL HAVE A NEW WORKING X BOX 360. I will wait until you get home. I am sorry but I really did try hard for the boys not to break any of your game systems! Like last tour, I failed you in this matter and again I'm really sorry. But at least this one can be replaced! And this time at least I wrote a proper obit, which I thought would be a funny blog post -- although I know you don't view it as funny at all.)
Hopefully you still love me.
Your worried wife
