Oh Red...
I have to admit...your words made me tear up some, and it broke my heart to see such a great fluff go, but I will say I am happy for you. As you said for five long years you have been here watching this game, and helping it bloom, into something amazing for all of us to enjoy. You made a small flower bud turn into a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. I honestly couldn't be happier with how things for this lovely game turned out. More than anything you deserve this time to yourself, and I feel you should take full advantage of that. Find yourself a nice cold glass of tea, and kick back relaxing. Put a little umbrella in your tea to make it look more like a vacation if you wish, but please enjoy your time relaxing. I honestly hope to see your toosh running about the community still and hope to bump into you once in a while so that I may say hello to you.
You have been someone great in this game for so very long. You have always placed us first before anyone else, and I must say you and I share a lot of the same aspirations for this game. I will admit my aspirations were stronger on my other account as you and the Staff may all know, and have watched my hopes slowly pass as things happened in my life. Though I will say it is thanks to you and the Staff that my spark is coming back. I look at the community now to see all the new faces, and few of my older friends but I am still more than happy. I know you made me wish to come back to the community, and I plan on it once I get a few things straightened up, and have some things in my pocket before I join once more as a full fledged community member once more. I enjoyed doing what you had before you were a Staffer. I enjoyed sitting about just helping. Giving tutorial when needed, and helping solve issues when I saw them.
You helped so many become better people including myself, and I wish I knew some way to thank you more than just giving you my horrid art, and writing a note for you to read later. You deserve so much more, but I have no idea where to start such a gift for you. Until then I hope when you come back to us I might have a sufficient gift for you waiting my dear. Be happy, and enjoy that long deserved vacation my dear. We all will await your return to our lovely home and community. <3
