    Years ago I used to play tabletop RPG games. One time I met a guy and we became friends. We’ve seen each other on the weekly gaming sessions but every now and then he was unavailable due to other arrangements. At some point I learned he was spending some weekends with his disabled neighbor playing various card games and (pardon lack of specific language) some warhammer figure like strategies. I said I would like to be a part of those sessions and eventually we formed an unusual “fellowship”. Few years later when the disabled boy passed away, his mother said that these weekends were what kept him going.

    This movie is a must watch. Absolutely bittersweet in the best way.

    Google says this documentary is on Netflix for those also curious. Haven’t logged in to verify, but maybe someone else can fact check that.

    Heavy Edit: Just finished watching this documentary after reading this article. Truly a heartwarming story, but is definitely a tearjerker at times. Great watch.
