Wow, Scobre you are a walking miracle. You have been granted a special gift of life.
Awe thanks. Yeah I dealt with a year of intense gallbladder pain. It was sad because one of my friends that wanted to meet me in real life right before I got the surgery is one of the friends that passed away but I was too sick to meet up with him and his fiancee at the time. John Kim was such an amazing artist and worked on some of the art with aliens in the Sims 2 and whenever I see the credits while playing makes me remember him. Sadly brain cancer took him and not many of his friends knew he was sick. It was so weird how we met was when I was taking a little hiatus from the Sims during my uni years to bring my grades up, found my first MMO which reminded me of the Sims with gnomes and flamingos I could fight and it is like once you are a Simmer there is no escaping it when I ran into him. I miss him and the fun times I had playing Lineage 2 with him and his fiancee and she ended up marrying the other player we would play with in the game. It is hard not to feel guilty when you are still alive and some friends don't make it, but we carry on telling our stories about them. My mom went through heart surgery and my dad is fighting cancer now, so I view them as a miracle more them myself. I'm just glad they are still around since I no longer have any grandparents around. One of my friends Writin_Reg was really there for me talking about what was going on with my parents and what was going on with her and it saddened me losing her last year too.
You have quite the inspiring story yourself too @SERVERFRA. Raising a daughter alone isn't easy. That is a good goal to have each day. It reminds me of my goal has been to make at least one other person laugh or smile each day which oddly brings me joy. Sorry you have had to deal with health issues since childhood too, but I am glad that the Sims has helped you through it.
@ChuChuExpress Thanks again for making this thread and glad the Sims has helped you as well. My brother has ADD so I can understand it can be hard sometimes just doing daily tasks. He is now a father of a boy and a girl and has a beautiful wife I am proud to call my sister. It was 2002 when I first got the Sims Deluxe game and I've been corrupted ever since. It has been wonderful to see new Simmers join the Sims community as the years progress.
