At sunrise on the 25th of April Australians and New Zealanders commemorates Anzac Day for those they have lost in war.

For More Information:  Anzac Day

We take this moment to lift a glass in memory of those we’ve lost this year.

As we come to the end of 2017, we take the moment for those we have lost.

*raises a glass*

Though you have gone from us

You will always be in our hearts

You will always be in our memories

And from that you are never truly gone

On the 11th Day of 11th Month at the 11th Hour

Today we take 2 minutes at 11 am for a moment of silence for all those who have given their lives for our countries.

Let us never forget those we’ve lost.

In Memoriam: Chester Bennington

Linkin Park is practically the Soundtrack to Sylum Clan.  The amount of material their songs have inspired for vids, stories, and well their latest album One More Light – a whole series.

My heart broke hearing the news of Chester’s death.

His lyrics and voice were memorizing and heart filled.

Hearing them and knowing in the end he lost his battle with Mental Illness – it hurts.

So here at Sylum we do what we do best.

Raise a glass to those we’ve lost.

And immortalize them in Sylum.

Chester’s voice will live on in his music.  His music will live on in Sylum.

*lights a candle*

Sylum has always been the ‘fix-it’ when we lost those we care about …

This year we’ve worked over time!

***

On this day we take a moment to reflect back to those we’ve lost this year.

Though we may only want to light one candle for those gone or we’ll be burning down the house.

2016 has ripped our hearts out, taken our sanity, and yet individually we have had moments of blessings.

*holds up glass*

To those who we’ve lost.

To those who have touched our lives

We miss you and wish you peace.

In Memoriam: Carrie Fisher

I’m sure many have already heard that we’ve lost another great icon this year.

For many of us, Carrie Fisher has been part of our lives since childhood, while some of been recently introduced to her.

She’s been an inspiration to many.

We always strive in Sylum to immortalize our favorites within the stories.

We’ve been busy this year trying to incorporate a few!

So do not worry!  Leia will live on in Sylum … as we’ve already started developing the Star Wars storyline.

But in typical Sylum – not the way you think it’s going to be represented.

On the 11th Day of 11th Month at the 11th Hour

Today we take 2 minutes at 11 am for a moment of silence for all those who have given their lives for our countries.

Let us never forget those we’ve lost.

And for those who came home

To those who have given their all to secure the freedom of others.

We’ve lost two great legends in just a space of a few days.

Even if you didn’t like David Bowie’s music, you still knew who he was.  His influence on music will live on for generations.

Many kids were introduced to Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, the rest of us remember Hanz Gruber.  The vast career of Alan Rickman showcases over many films and has entertained us for decades.

Both will be greatly missed.

As for Sylum they both live on.

Severus is already an influential character in Camelot Clan, and we added Hanz Gruber to Sylum when we updated the Sylum Wiki Blog – except for the fact I forgot to put up his bio *eyeroll* *headdesk*.

We’ll be adding a character to Sylum for David Bowie.  In typical Sylum fashion we won’t be adding the one you’re thinking of but a small role he did that many don’t remember or never realized it was him.

Nikola Tesla

Let’s have moment of silence, raise our glasses and toast two legends.

As many know yesterday Paris was attacked by Terrorists.

As the world stands with Paris, we felt the need to stand along side them.

Our thoughts and prayers go to Paris.  And to all of those who have experienced terrorism around the world.

On the 11th Day of 11th Month at the 11th Hour

Today we take 2 minutes at 11 am for a moment of silence for all those who have given their lives for our countries.

Let us never forget those we’ve lost.

And embrace those who came home

To the men and woman who have given their lives for their country – Thank you.

And a special thank you to those soldiers who do not always walk on two legs.
