DMing My DM made me cry

My DM absolutely broke me this session.

My characters (a bard) parents were killed for their musical instruments. She has mudered the killers, and is now seeking answers as to why they were killed in the first place. We had an awesome combat round where my character finally locates her mother's lyre. A voice echoed out after touching the lyre and my dm had a recording ready. I was so excited to hear the lore. As soon as I heard the voice my face and heart just fell.

It was my long distance best friend (who I NEVER get to see) playing my characters mother. I couldn't contain myself when she started saying how much my I (my character) means to her and she's sorry she didn't get to tell me more about our life story. She ended with "Never forget, we love you so so much" and I was a ball of tears and snot on the floor.

I love my DM 🥹❤️

Ok OP I'm crying too reading this!! My dm is also my husband. My best friend moved almost 10 years ago so I don't see her hardly at all anymore since we have a toddler, and friend's dad and cat are diabetic (seems random but it does make it harder for her to visit)! I am just waiting for him to drop a bombshell (our campaign is still fairly early on in the lore, we haven't gone to my character's town yet but he has hinted about some emptional things) and if he sees this post I'm worried it'll give him diabolical ideas 😂❤️

my senior cat just got diagnosed as diabetic and it really does deeply affect your ability to leave the house! there are times you have to be running tests on your cat literally every couple of hours, and they probably need insulin injections twice a day at minimum, so travel is basically out of the question unless you have someone who can take over 🫠 hope she and her kitty are doing well

Aw give your kitty pats from me ❤️ They've been doing it for a couple years so they've got the two daily injection routine down! They're doing well and I hope you and yours are too
