Ah yes. As always, where to start? So many things to say, so hard to get them all said.
I suppose I can start with THANK YOU, everyone, for giving me these wonderful years together with you all. It's almost impossible to explain how much I've learned, how many wonderful people I've met, and the both fun and not-so-fun things I've experienced.
But all in all it's been a great, and interesting journey! And I'm really, truly grateful.
The last two years have been my "bad-luck" years - I was seriously injured, at work in 2015, and then when I got better, physically, my dad was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer 2016. It's why I was away for so long without any word, I spent most time by his side when he was in the hospital.
He's lucky to still be alive, fighting this, but it's still hard to say how it'll go. But, as a nurse, I know that as long as there's life there's hope, and my dad has always been a fighter.
Anyway, everything in these two years has made it hard for me to be 100% involved in the FH community. It feels like I've been away more then not, and it doesn't really feel fully fair to my fellow staff members, nor the community, to stay in the staff position.
Because, even though there is many discussions about this, the staff is always at hard work - there's things to do almost everyday! I've always loved this, but now when I can't really keep up, it turns into stress for me. Please do not stare yourselves blind on the number of current staff members - these guys are amazing, hardworking people, and I really enjoyed working with them all.
I've been a staff member since 2013, and I've loved it, and it's always hard to leave after so many years. But, I know there are alot of potential staff members out there, who will take over after me, and other retired staff! <3
Thank you to my fellow staff members - some I've worked with from the start, some a shorter time, but you're all hardworking, kind, good and genuine persons. It's truly been a honor, and I know you'll continue to take care of this community as you always have.
I'll most likely come visit now and then, and I'll still be running the Feral-Heart DeviantArt Group! c:
I'm not sure if I can say thank you too many times, but...THANK YOU. Each and everyone of you, new and old members of this community.
Shally out! <3
-
Aww, Shally<3
We're all going to miss you so much.
If you do ever come to visit us we'll be here for ye!
I hope everything in your life gets sorted out soon<3
-
I am sorry to see you go Shally. I hope you return to the community soon. <3
We will never forget you.
-
But....but we shared lattes together! D:
I'm very very sorry to hear about everything going on. It's a terrible terrible thing. I really hope he gets better and things start looking up. AND THEN YOU CAN COME BACK! AND WE CAN DRINK ALL THE LATTES RIGHT?!!?!?!?
I'm truly going to miss you Shallow. Honestly. I know things have been rough between us over the last couple of weeks, but I'm just....really happy you were willing to move on and help me see past my mistakes. I'm very grateful to you for that and I will never forget it.
I hope you are able to return to us soon. Take care out there Shallow. <3
-
Oh Shally, what to say...
We never knew each other personally, and that is something that I truly regret. I remember you from when I first joined in 2014, and you have always been a huge inspiration. I know that you are a sweet, loving, and helpful person.
I'm sorry to hear that about your father. I've never dealt with anything like that personally, but I can imagine how hard that it must be. I truly hope he will get better soon, and wish both you and your father the best with your lives <3
Goodbye, Shally!
-
Shallow, thank you for everything. You are truly a wonderful person who
has provided so much positivity and help in this community. We are forever grateful.
I am deeply sorry to hear about your recent years, I cannot imagine what it was
like to go through it all. You have been very strong, just like your father. It is incredible
to hear he is still alive, I wish him all the best and may he win the battle against cancer.
He is a fantastic man and I am proud of him for still fighting. No wonder you have been
less involved online, you have every right to spend time with him. Stay safe and take care,
it has been an honor to have you here with us. Thank you once again for being you and
for everything you have done, I am proud of youuu. <3

Oh my god...not another dear fluffy..
I will miss you so very much, and my heart is broken seeing you leaving the staff, and leaving the community.
I have loved seeing you around for so long, and really enjoyed hanging out with you form time to time. I will miss our fun cuddles, and once in a while talks we used to share.
..for now though I wish you all the luck my dear.
You will be dearly missed, and I know I will miss one of my cuddle fluffs.
-
This comes as a surprise to me.

Awh Shally, I was just getting to know you a bit more. >w<
It's been lovely to talk to you recently and make you cheerful with my comments on your artwork and watch you create it and deliver it to the world; you're a truly wonderful person and you're always going to be another of my many non-biological mothers of FeralHeart. ;P Honestly, it's been wonderful to spend even a little bit of time with you and meet you, knowing a bit more about you as a person and not just as a 'Fellow Staffer'. You've been and always will be a truly amazing addition to the FeralHeart community, and I hope someday the horrible events that have taken place soon come to an end with a happy ending, I believe in your father to continue fighting and send lots of love and praise for his bravery and motivation to fight against the aggressive cancer.
I'll be sure to message you through Skype or Discord to see how you're doing, and what you've been up to! It would be really nice to talk to you again. c:
Farewell from FeralHeart, Shally! <'3
-
Shally, thank you from all of your FeralHeart friends and the entire community <3
I never got to know you, but you seem to be a really good-hearted, lovable floofer. With all of your work here in the past, you've brought so much joy and goodwill to the community. I'm terribly sorry to hear of what's been going on in your life with your injury and your dad's diagnosis. Your journey has certainly had a few bumps in the road and it seems that you've been strong so far, which is a great thing. Continue to fight and give it your all and know that even in all this darkness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your father will be in my thoughts and I wish the best for him and your family. I have a lot of respect for nurses as well. All I can say is thank you for dedicating your life to being a nurse and being there for people in need. And once again, thank you for your time here as a staff member. You have a big heart. Thank you for sharing it with everyone! <3
Best of wishes to you Shally!

I know I already messaged you on Skype, but I'll bug you here too<3
It's been so wonderful to get to know you throughout the years. You've always been so sweet and cheerful, and I enjoyed every moment I've spent with you. Whether it was staffy stuff, goofing off, or even a casual conversation, I was happy getting to know you and to call you my friend
I wish you luck with life, and I hope everything goes well with your dad
See you around, Shally<3
-
Aww Shally D: It's so sad to see you go!
I haven't known you for all too long, but I'm grateful for having met you. You're such a sweet and generous person and I wish you only the best of luck in life. I'm sorry to hear about your father as well. I hope he gets well soon! I send my best regards!
I also want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication towards this community, and I want to personally thank you for being so welcoming and helpful with my MIT training so far. You've truly been a blessing and a joy and I hope I can make you proud one day<3
As always, if you want to keep in touch feel free to message me on Skype whenever. Please take care of yourself Shally!<3

I will not deny that my eyes tear up as I read your post and the lovely messages everyone's left you.
I met you so many years ago, and I was so proud to see my dear friend on the staff team.
This isn't a goodbye for me, because I still have you around.
But as part of staff, I know that the slot you leave behind will take time to fill.
I love you. <3

It's really saddending to hear what you've experienced and what you've been through.
You will go away but your morals, ethics and advice will always stay with us. Thanks for being such an inspirational floof!
We’ll miss your bright and cheerful face around here. Wish you much happiness in all that you pursue! <3

Awww, Shally...
Another staff member, gone. ): It's very sad to hear indeed. For Feralheart to lose so many wonderful staffers, you were great Shally. Helpful, kind and caring. I'm sure many will mourn you, but understand that being a staff member of such a largely populated community can be stressful and tedious. Good luck on your journies in your life, we will miss you! Stay amazing.

Shally <3 Even though I messaged you on Skype, I'll leave a note here just to say that everything you've done around here these past few years has been such a wonderful for Feral Heart. As a lovable and heart-working person, you've been a huge part in keeping the game going with your kind and caring heart. You've been there in times of need, and you deserve time to focus on things going on in your own life. You've been a friend to me, and community and staff are all very lucky to have had someone as special and sweet as you walk into the community. Thank you so much for sticking with us. I'll keep the Nunx and Pebble babies fed with lots of coffee. ;-;
I'm going to miss you a bunch, Shallyhon. I hope everything goes as well as hope can give, and I hope you and your family are able to see the light in these dark times. I'm always here if you need a floof to talk to. Good luck with everything, I hope things get a bit brigther, and don't be a stranger! <3
