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.

That is a cool little coincidence. Sorry for your loss. 92 is a good run though. I hope I make it to 92 with a great grand kid that cares about me.

My sympathies, I understand where you're coming from. My wife's grandmother (who I was very close to) passed away last Christmas...and my Grandfather passed away just a few weeks ago from a heart attack. I think that's a cool coincidence and this forum should be open minded enough to at least accept that much. Good luck out there guardian

One love bro. It's my favourite weapon too. I hope it brings you comfort.

Things happen for a reason I've always been a true believer in that. My friends grandfather passed a few years back and we went back to my house from the hospital. On the ride home he was telling me how much he loved the Beatles. I kid you not, I turned the radio on and it was a Beatles song. I got goosebumps from the whole ordeal but it helped my friend a lot. Like myself he's a believer in things happening like that because there is a lot more to this universe than we can imagine. My condolences to you and your family.
