Farewell, friends!

[Deleted]

You didn't think I'd leave without really saying goodbye, did you? As I won't forget the friends I made here, I hope that I am not forgotten. I will be leaving very soon to a place that's in the freezing tempatures; North and South Dakota. I'll be there for at least two years engaged in a work that changes lives and brings everlasting hope. I can't express how much this means to me and others. It's so phenominal!

I hope that I can mend fences with those that I may have offended. I'm sorry for any wrong I may have done and hope that I can be forgiven if I have. I hoped that I could be remembered for something good that I may have done once I'm gone, so that I may not forgotten. But I guess it doesn't matter. I just hope that I may have done some good while I was here: maybe helped someone, gave hope, displayed good artwork, helped in making good stories, been an good example for someone, been a friend, or helped change someone's life for the better. I don't know. Hope I did my part as an active member.

I never thought any ill of anybody. Not even when I stopped coming. I just knew that it was time for me to go. I needed to be away from those who may not have wanted me or appreciated me at the time. I also needed more time to do many other things. I've been busy. I've also been enduring hard times and persuing true happiness. In fact, my dog's taken a turn for the worst with maggets in... Well, we're putting down tomorrow. I was selfish and kept her going through this cancer for a year now. This is the second time I've had to make this decision. Anyways (sorry)... It's just something that we just decided after discovering... well, the worst.

You guys will always be my little fantasy club. Through TLCR and SilverFlame7 Productions I was able to:

• Make new friends
  
• Meet many people from my ancestral heritage (rather important to me) and the states
  
• Express my creativity in the script for the Zelda movie, the RPG stories, my RPG characters (two lol), having a profile, and probably other things
  
• Got to display my artwork on the internet
  
• Help those I know I helped
  
• Got to meet lots of people who shared the same interests as I did when no one else really did
  
• Got to see some good artwork and animations
  
• Learned some more about computers and the internet
  
• Learned some about the U.K.
  
• Helped me practice my typing and writing skills (not literally writing)
  
• Came up with new names to go by: SCREWBALL, The IllusioN, Saxen
  
• And the list goes on still
  

Everyone's artwork is looking great and is always getting better! Keep it up and don't loose faith in yourselves! I've been doing some art here and there myself. If it's okay with you, FM5, could you post my artwork that I have sent you and will send you? And if so, could you also include my 3-D artwork, Crawly Eye? There is the Fallen Angel, Engagement, A Child's Discovery, Scottish Shepards, Saxen-Shadow Desguise practice sketch, Snowed In animation, and the things I'll yet send you. Sorry to keep asking you to do it for me. I just can't do it myself.

I want you all to remember some things: To never give up what you want most in life for what you think you want now; to learn the importance of family (OH, it is so important!), to let virtue garnish your thoughts unceasingly; to never let anything hold you back from doing what is right; to be true to yourselves; to know that you're never alone and that someone IS watching over you; to know that you are loved no mattered what; to know that there is always a way back; to remember that live's trials can be a blessing; to always have hope; to have faith in something; to strive to be good; to remember that it is nice to be important but that it is important to be nice; to be faithful; to save yourselves and live worthy to marry your future spouse and not be ashamed of your past deeds; to live your life so that you may one day look back on it while on your death bed and say "I lived a good life." and that you did good throughout it. Remember these truths and be wise. To remember and stay true to such things is a path to real happiness. OH, I would that all should remember! This is not a quote or forwarded e-mail. These are things that I've learned and experianced, time and time again throughout my life even to this day. I know they are true.

I wish all the best for you all and pray for you. Please don't forget me as I don't forget you. I miss you all already!

Sincerely,
- SCREWBALL
- The IllusioN
- Saxen
- Daniel

Farewell... My dear friend...
I will greatly miss you here, IllusioN, and I won't forget you. You've been a great friend, and an incredible example to so many. Thank you for befriending SF7 and I. The memory of you will not be lost...

(If you can send all the pictures in one e-mail, I can set them up quickly here on TLCR. Don't worry about it, it's my pleasure. ^_^ *hugs*)

I'll miss you, IllusioN.
You've been great to post with. Heh, I remember when you thought I was a guy! That was awesome! I'll miss you, great IllusioNist.

*Bursts into tears*

I'll miss you dude.
You were one of the first members I knew on this forum, since you were there when I was just settling in.
You were one of those which helped me get less nervous dude, so thanks a ton.

We'll miss you, okay? If, at any point, you can accessinternet again, maybe even a few years from now, chances are we'll still be here (Or at least, some of us). Besides, this ain't goodbye. It's a see ya later. Every meeting has a purpose.
You've helped us by being here IllusioN.
I hope we've helped in way.

You won't ever be forgotten!
