Pokemon player completes card collection in honour of late father

The Pokemon community has responded to the death of a collectors father with sympathy and heartfelt support. The pair had been working on a collection together for many years. The descendent finally received the card they needed to complete it, on the day their father died.

The last card the collector received was ‘Super Energy Removal.’, rather inspiringly, the poster remarked of the timing of the card’s arrival that, “Life is incredibly interesting in its patterns and poetry. I’m thankful for all of it.
“25 years ago, my father and I started this collection. Unfortunately, he passed away this morning after a hell of a battle with cancer. The last card we needed arrived in the mail not long after he passed. It’s complete Dad, we did it.”.
The support and condolences shared are a credit to the kind and passionate Pokemon fanbase. One commenter said, “Sorry buddy. I lost my dad to cancer 5 years ago. If you need someone to talk to let me know.”. Jaedotuk said, “He’s gonna be so happy looking down and see you put in that last card.”
