Thank You
So here it is. I have typed up numerous things on my notepad starting from when I first found out to just the other day. I haven't posted any of it because it just sounds corny. But I kind friend reminded me that if it's something sincere, it cannot sound corny. When I first found out what you guys were doing I was with my mother as usual. We were watching TV together. It was a commercial and I was checking the forum on my phone and my mom was reading her Angel books.. And when I read the reveal, I tried to get my mothers attention. When she finally looked at me and I told her what you guys were doing, we both started crying. She cried more than me. At this time in my life, we were fighting for our house with the mortgage. My house was up for sheriff sale at least 8 times the past 2 years. But we kept fighting and fortunately we're still living in it! I hope in regards to the house, things are done for a while. And we just keep on getting better in regards with money and all. After crying happy tears another emotion set in. I didn't want to get my hopes up. Growing up, my parents consistently got my hopes up. If they promised we were going to go somewhere on the weekend it ended with a "We'll do it the next weekend." Then next weekend hit. "We'll do it next weekend." It wasn't just for car rides. It was for other things as well. I learned at a young age to never ever get my hopes up. I was the same way with this. Because I was this way, I didn't tell anyone else in my immediate family until my girlfriend convinced me that it was going to happen and I deserve to be excited about something. So now the ball is rolling, Dave is sending me some screen shots of his Paypal showing me how much you guys were donating and I was very shocked. What bothered me the most is not knowing who was donating all this money. I really wanted to individually thank whoever was apart of this. So for those of you who want to keep your anonymity, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You have shed light on what has been a very bad year thus far. In particularly, I want to thank Dave. Way back on the MW2forums, I got some great laughs from you calling people out in posts, and at the same time I was like man that guy is a real douche bag at times. After mending our relationship at the end of the FPSHQ, I felt like it was way passed due, and i'm happy that we could be friends. Now we're here at our new home, Forever Gaming. If I were to have told myself a few years back that you would be someone that I would cherish as a friend, I would have said "Yeah, right." But now that you are... I guess you're stuck with me.
I love you guys.
PS: The most boring thing about having a new computer is installing everything!
I will take a picture of everything set up when it's all at my desk. Right now I have my computer on my dresser so my TV can be used as a monitor. Then my keyboard is on my hamper and I use my mouse on my knee. Not ideal for gaming, but this will do with installing things and looking at the forums.
