I've had a hard time coming to this thread long enough to leave a reply mostly because I'm really saddened by your departure. In all my years with this community I've seen many staff members come and go but I feel as though your one of the few who has to decided to leave too soon.
Though I've known you for a few years now I feel as though I've only truly had the privilege of bonding with you these recent years. I remember when I first met you in our non staff days up in the cuddle pile rocks at the N/Z. Back in those days it was usually you, Ressy, Red, Owly, Buff, Crin, Wolffox, and Red. You guys were a bunch of crazy funny derps and it was your gang of friends that not only made my return to Feral Heart so much more welcoming but also solidified my stay here. You always found a way to include me in the shenanigans when I was too shy to jump in still. You were a real sweet heart and your tender, observant, and constantly caring ways earned you the nick name of "momma" to me. You were always there to defend your friends from those who hurt them too and because of that your character shined out to me. I would have never imagined that I'd one day have the chance to enjoy the truly spectacular person you are.
As you know last year and really the past few years have been hard on me. I contemplated staying on Feral Heart many times because it was difficult to keep myself cheerful and involved when so much was effecting my mind and body those days. Even when I said nothing and pretended that nothing was wrong you just knew I was down and always came to comfort me. I shed many a tear with you but you never complained and always just listened and tried your best to mend my hurting heart. For those moments and all the moments I am eternally grateful to have met you.
There's so much I want to tell you and thank you for. The Minecraft servers.... Oh goodness the laughs we had there! <3 I thank you for those servers because they really were the get away I needed. I thank you for all the friends I met there and for the family you included me into. I thank you for bringing me peace of mind back when I was scared at the hospital... You were even better then the nurses I had present in person. I thank you for the endless laughs we had over Skype with our weird fan fics
lol and just all the talks.
As a staffy you were a tough gal! I admired your work and love for this community. You stuck to your game and you got things done. You were never afraid to stand up for your ideas and express yourself honestly and you were the best Global Mod sister I could have ever had... We were a good team.
With you by my side we could face anything. <3
I feel like there's so much more I wish to experience with you and I often wish you lived closer to me because you're such an irreplaceable and amazing friend... A rare thing in this world <3
Shally I'll never forget you. Your melons especially
<3
I don't think this community will ever forget you or all your hard work and contributions. It's because of your devotion and so many others that our little game continues to thrive. No matter where life takes you never forget the crazy little adventures you had here... the friends or anything. You'll forever have a place in Feral Heart but also my heart <3
I love you Shally <3 Thank you for being my friend, global mod sister, nurse, and just everything good.
You stay safe and be well now wherever life takes you from here <3
