Have you ever wanted to escape from your reality into other worlds? That's plenty of reason to read a good book or play a video game for a while. Or, in this case, 20,000 hours of World of Warcraft.

He spent most the later part of his life living vicariously through his virtual alter ego, Lord Ibelin Redmoore of Azeroth.
Listen in to hear Kourtney share this touching story, and how his parents came to understand the profound impact that this virtual world had on their son.
