Raymond's Newbie Thoughts

[Kloudkicker 4,564]

Dear Raymond,

I know you had big plans for Simtropolis's birthday. You talked about it occasionally and I could tell the excitement and joy it brought you. You may have missed it while you were in the hospital recovering, and you were missed by many, from all around. But every day is like a birthday to us with you around. You inspired me to create something myself. After thinking about it and toying around with ideas,  than with the help and ideas of CB and Cori this came to be.

Thank you for the inspiration. 

PS. Thanks for getting in touch with CB and Cori and letting us know what happened and how you three are doing. I was getting worried and was just about to ask them about you.

Thanks everyone for your kind loving words of support for Raymond as he continues to recover.

We've forwarded all your messages to him via email which he'll receive in time for Christmas day. We can only imagine how it must be such a tough time for him right now. To know that we're all missing him dearly and awaiting his return will help Raymond get through this, and realise that we'll be ready to welcome him home.

Dear Raymond, I haven't met you yet, but you seem like a vital cog in the modern community of SimCity 4, and I eagerly await your return. You seem to have a very creative approach to the game and your mods, and I can dig that. Best wishes on your recovering, and I hope we all see you soon. 

[Propfam 2,302]

I'm waiting for Raymond to come back. He helped make this community so alive in mid to late 2020. Wish he recovers and comes back.

Do we have any news from Ray? Anybody messaged with him? Is he and his family alright?

Nothing new via the contact CB made via email. He (or someone in his family) did access his ST account a few days ago tho.

[Cyclone Boom 17,031]

Update: We have heard from Raymond.

He needs a bit longer to recover, and has informed us how there are some complications with his recovery and he's still in the hospital. (We'll leave out the details of that.) He is in good spirits, has been reading and studying to pass the time, and is very much looking forward to when he can return to ST.

-CB & Cori

Thanks for the info! I wish him good health and speedy recovery! Let's hope he joins us sooner than later!

Hey Ray,

are you BACK? I don´t accept a NO :-p

Oliver

[Terring 6,476]

Wait, Ray is back?

[City_Slider 2,716]

Looks so

[Raymond7cn 6,775]

Dear Mayors, My friends, Much obliged to your kind words, You would understand that i was almost crying when reading them, since some guy will be more emotional if he's stuck in the hospital for (such) a while.

I have had many words to say, but I'm struck dumb now, I'm confused and could not tell which one i love more, This game or Simtropolis? Or you peeps with warm and helpful and big hearts here. I have no idea, But I can tell you this: It shall not end until my death, I love you and this place and this game. no worries, I just need more weeks to recover my muscle ( I have gotten rid of the plaster ), Dr says that I still can't be sedentary for too long, so I still couldn't go back to my models now, I have to say it really is a Tortureee.

Many Thanks for your letters when I was laying in the bed, especially to @Cyclone Boom, You did shed some light on this miserable period, Anyways, I will be back as soon as possible! Hope all is well to you as well!! See ya. 

Yours Sincerely,

-- Raymond

Hey Ray,

If i may ask... what did the Doc said... for how long do you need to stay there?

[Terring 6,476]

I'm so happy that you're back and safe, Ray. It was just not fun without you, my friend. I hope your family is fine and safe too, and I'm looking forward for you to rock the community for once again, but only when you have 100% recovered. Stay safe and healthy

A big hug from Greece too

Hiya @City_Slider, Sorry that I have forgotten your name,  Thank you for caring for this, Actually I have escaped from the ** hospital, The surgery of my bones(leg and back etc) went smoothly, But most of my muscle have been atrophied, So I still need some exercises at home to strengthen the muscle and reduce my big belly.

Oh Terring, my dear friend, me too, I have to say that I lost some confidence in modeling and others due to this blank period, but I will try my best to get them back, God has a plan for each of us, I believe that he won't give up me if i'm still on his boat. Looking forward to the Simtropolis Building and your Pony.

Have gotten your big hugs.

Hope you don´t try it by yourself only. I was in the same Situation ~30 Years ago. Without any Help from outside, its hard. But i´m looking forward to catch you up in the Future. Let me know, if i can anything to do for you... even if i´m in Germany.

Never give up... go ahead with your Health and dont forget... you do have a lot of Friends at Simtropolis... one Game... one Family :-)
