Well, silvam14 pm'd me back and said that he would be glad to do these uniforms for me, but wasn't sure when he could start them. I told him, "Hey, I'm totally fine with that."
Because I felt bad for asking for a favour as large as this, I wanted to gift him and/or donate to him. Silvam14 refused and basically shared with me that he wouldn't feel right accepting a gift. I understood, but I still felt bad that I wasn't able to offer him anything in return. I mean, the guy has taken his time out of his life to help me out, someone he doesn't know personally, so I really wanted to give something back in return. Yeah, some may say that they are just uniforms for a game, so big deal. However, that isn't the point of the matter. The point is that he helped me with a large request, it meant/means a lot to me esp if I could go into detail as to why I was gone for so long, you'd understand why someone helping me means so much.
I love this community and I missed it the years that I have been gone. I am happy to be back and I hope to contribute in some way.
Silvam14, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. Because of your genuine heart in taking the time to do this for me, I'll be able to enjoy this great game a bit more.  God bless you, silvam14. |
Thank you for the kind words and it is my pleasure to help you or anyone out in the community with whatever I can contribute.
As much as I could use extra money (who couldn't?) I cannot accept any payments for anything I do here as it is for my enjoyment as well. I have other reasons for not accepting money, the second biggest being that I would feel "under the gun" to get them done, when in actuality, I can only do them when my free time permits.
I'm glad that the uniforms and caps add to your enjoyment and I will say that this community is chalk full of talented people willing to help. That's what I love about this game too.
