**TROLLS CAN IGNORE THIS LETTER AND THIS THREAD ALLTOGETHER! IT DOES NOT CONCERN YOU**

To Vogster, Sleepy Giant, and Team Crime Craft and all the friends I have made over the past 3 years that have become like a second family to me,

As most of the community already knows my mother has been battling cancer for some time now. Unfortunately for us it has been a losing battle. She will be admitted to the hospital on Monday December 19th, and from then on they will be administering the medications needed to keep her pain free until such time as she passes. During this time I will be staying in the hospital with her and will not be able to access the forums as often as I would like so I would like to take this time thank everyone who has supported my sanity over the past three years.  Your support has meant alot to me and helped me through very difficult times.  Over these past three years I have gained a multitude of knowledge into the inner workings of creating a community content driven massivly multiplayer online game and the many stages of production and the extreme amount of work that goes into a project such as Crime Craft, but most importantly I have gained strength from doing something I love and from the support of the many community members who have stood beside me through these past few years.  You really have changed me for the better and shown me that no matter how hard things get there is always something that can bring a smile to someones face when sharing in the accomplishments and joy of others.  To Micheal, Andrey, Kevin, and all of the GMs and Vogster reps, and to all of the real O.G.s of Sunrise City, (you know who you are) Thank you with all my heart and soul.  You have given me strength, and when I return, I will be proud to continue to show my support and to help in any way that I can long into the future of Sunrise City!

To the people of Vogster, Sleepy Giant, and Team Crime Craft, thank you all so much for everything you have done for my son. It is nice to know that even someone out in the middle of nowhere where winter covers the land for near 7 months out of the year can make a difference in the video game industry, even if it is just small differences that only those who asked for will notice.  You truly have made a difference in his life and ours.  It has always been his dream to make a difference in gaming and have a hand in seeing others dreams made real, and with the opportunity you have given him over these past few years and the amount of support you have shown him, you really have made his dream come true. I am happy to know that he will continue to support this game, the developers, and it's community for a long time to come and I am happy to know that he is doing something that not only makes him happy, but makes others happy as well.  I only hope that others can have the same chance that my son has had to see what it means and how it feels to truly do something for others when the only reward you are given is the happiness of others.  Again, thank you very much to everyone for everything, and may your community thrive and last as long as my sons love for gaming, which if I am right and heaven is everything they say it is is going to be a really really long time because you know you get everything you love up there, and if I know my son, and I do (come on, I am his mother), when he gets to heaven he will have the dream machine that never needs upgrading, windows WORKS on, and every game EVER will be preinstalled and there will be no such thing as download wait times.  Oh and his mom will be sitting on a computer next to him drinking her tea and reading everything he writes in every single forum he visits, because good mothers always take interest in what their children do.

With all my heart,
Thank you.

 I'm at a loss for words, and I know I have nothing to do with this, but both you and your mom look like bosses! I am sorry for all you and her are having to go through and I wish you the best of luck.

P.S. Sorry about the trolls too man, but haters gotta hate. Stay frosty bud!

May the force be with your mom.

I am 100% sure your mom would get well right away due to today amazing technology.

Send my regard to your mom.

Off-topic: Your face reminds me off some villain in the Batman comic, although I cannot remember which one.

I'm a newcomer here, and don't know you, but I've been through similar circumstances in the past.  My thoughts go out to you and your mother.

Your mother is a saint :''(

Godbless you Nighthawk.

Thank you all so much for your support.  Just thought I would stop in and give you all a quick update.  The doctors and nurses are doing such a good job keeping mama bear comfortable and she has everything she could possibly need.  She is happy that she has me with her and she asked that when I came home to shower and what not that I say hi to the crew and let you all know that even though I am unable to post from my cell phone, I am keeping up with whats new on the forums.  Again thank you all so much for your support, it really means a lot to us.

Keep Sunrise Bloody!

All the best to you and your Mom mate, I know what your going through and you have my deepest sympathy, god bless and good luck.

Got not too much words to say everithing has been said but i sincerely wish you and your mom all the best and with God's help and doctors too she will get better .

To those of you that have been there for us over the past three years, I would like to extend our family's gratitude for your support through such rough times.  The battle and the suffering was near six years long, but at last there is no more suffering.
