I need help! My son Griffin Wallace Higgs was diagnosed with cancer at 18. He died in Nov 2025. He was 28. In addition to arranging his funeral, closing his bank accounts, transferring his assets, cancelling his cell phone and myriad other tasks no parent should have to think about I have been trying to deal with @Ticketmaster to get the @foofighters tickets he purchased months ago. I have the order number for the 4 tickets he purchased. I have a letter from a lawyer saying I’m his next of kin. Ticketmaster refuses to access the tickets. They are essentially stealing from his estate. If the bank withheld his account and money it would be fraud. @Ticketmaster told me to get a lawyer. This cannot be the process. This cannot be just. Someone please help. All that remains now is for his brothers to enjoy this concert at @Rogers_Stadium leaving his seat empty in his honour. Someone? Anyone? Has anyone had to deal with this insanity while grieving? @CBCCanada – at Hamilton, Ontario
Thanks so much to everyone for the support. This issue with @Ticketmaster has been completely resolved and I have been given the tickets that my son purchased. Thank you to @TMFanSupport and @saumil for resolving this quickly. Griffin’s family is deeply grateful for the quick resolution and look forward to seeing @foofighters in Toronto in August. Thank you to everyone for your empathy and comments. Your words help to heal our shattered hearts. We will never stop speaking Griffin’s name or remembering him and will be belting out the lyrics to “Times like these” and “my hero” on his behalf. Be kind. Thank you all.

"Lady Doritos"? Yikes. Fake news? Sadly, it's actually a thing. Shocked at how many media outlets picked up this story so quickly. Thanks @adage for clearing it up. @BurlingtonPL thanks for continuing the fake news fight

So many quotes so few characters allowed...."Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul" -- Virginia Woolf. Happy Birthday #VirginiaWoolf

Beautiful piece on the importance of libraries for solving cultural poverty: "More than just preserving our knowledge and cultures, they are open doors on the world."
