"But not forgotten", a sniper I just got that is going to mean a lot to me

I was playing Archon's forge to think about something else, because my great-grandmother died today (she was age 92 if you were wondering) and my first legendary drop was this sniper. I don't know if it was a message from heaven or something because this weapon name ("But not forgotten") and description ("Not even the dead are truly gone.") really fits with what happened to me today. She is gone, but she will never be forgotten in my heart, RIP my great grandmother, this weapon is going to represent you to me, a memory of who you were. Thanks a lot Bungie for creating a beautiful and unique sniper that you probably didn't expect someone to give it such a significance to it. Coincidences can make really beautiful things, and today, it proved to me that it can happen. TL;DR I got a sniper that really fits with the death of a relative of mine. RIP to my grand-grandmother. [spoiler]If you want to cheer me up, go ahead, I really want this community to stick together and help eachother in the moments where it matters the most, also, this isn't a post where I just wrote just so I get your empathy to me, as I said, I just wanted to talk about what this weapon is going to mean to me.[/spoiler] Edit: Added the description of the weapon and fixed a typo. Edit #2: Thanks for the support, you've been giving to me, it's not really easy to me right now and it makes me happy to see all of you caring about a fellow guardian. I wasn't expecting much about it tbh. I will add a clarification as for why I used the word "heaven" in the text, it is because of the religious belief of her and I respect what she believed in, if it was any other religion, I would've used the word representing a "good place after one's life" for the proper religion of said person. Edit #3: Over 500 replies! Wow, that's just amazing, it makes me feel better to know that you can care about something like this so much. I thank each and everyone of you who replied with a positive comment. I hope this story will make you think how deep connections can happen, and to everyone living in a situation similar to me, I say "Keep your head up and stay stong, even with what you're living through.". Finally, it makes me happy to know that some people pretty much gave this weapon a significance close to mine, in honor of a close relative who passed away recently. Edit #4 (probably last one): Over 1000 replies! I never thought it would go up that high, I'm used to normally 10 or so replies maximum, but this, this is just amazing! Thank you again for the support you've been giving me, it really makes a difference and I'm happy to know that you do help me, even though we don't even know eachother at all. That's what's awesome about this community.

    Every time you get a kill with it, your great grandmother will whisper, "Damn camping noob. I raised you better than this. Use a fusion. Do it for Granny." [i]Keep on keeping on, Guardian.[/i]

    • My deepest condolences! really! but why you post something like that to randoms on a public forum? i'm not trying to be a d***, sad to hear and sry for you...but why? you know, me personally, when visiting games forums i do to have fun and i simply believe that something like this should be personal and not posted on public forums...also, and i'm very honest now, your first parts of your post somehow got me feel empathy...but with this [quote]Thanks a lot Bungie for creating a beautiful and unique sniper that you probably didn't expect someone to give it such a significance to it. Coincidences can make really beautiful things, and today, it proved to me that it can happen.[/quote] you destroyed it...this doesn't sound realistic to me, but contrived...if i'm wrong, sry...call me a d*** or whatever...but still believe private things like this don't belong into gaming forums...me, would NEVER post something like this here... however, my deepest condolences

            • Sorry to hear it. But 92, that's a good run. Just hang onto those good memories. By the way, is the gun good to use? Good perks?
