...in a galaxy far away... Or maybe not. But seriously, two very long years ago (Thursday, Feb 10, 2011 9:15 pm, to be precise) a very hyper little girl joined Holy Worlds and her life changed forever. Two years later, I hardly recognize her! She has grown and matured beyond belief, and she maintains that it is vastly due to you all. You welcomed her from the moment she stepped foot on the forum; you took her under your wing and showed her around until she gained enough confidence to strike out on her own; you respected her even when she didn’t feel worth respecting, and because of it, she grew – immensely.
This girl stands before you today with a very thankful heart. She only wishes that she had the words to properly express her gratitude to you, for your love and support, not only on the good days, but during the darkest times of trial and fits of depression. You patiently listened when she ranted, you comforted her and stood by her when she cried, and you shared your own experiences when she asked for help. You were there when she needed you most. And she will never forget it.
Well, that hyper little girl was me. Not that you hadn’t already figured it out, but I figured I better clarify. I, Milly Manderly, Calista Beth, Blue Dragon, and anything else you want to call me, stumbled into a whole new world that opened my eyes. So I would like to thank you. Thank you for making me a part of your family. I feel like I've known you all forever, and I never ever want to leave you. You have been the most amazing example of Christ’s love that I have ever seen, and I hope that by watching you, I may in time learn to be a light to the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being who you are: a shining city on a hill. May this amazing community last for many years to come!
I would especially like to thank my adopted siblings today.
You all have been so good to me, and I have been very blessed to call you my brothers and sisters. So to Brendan, Joel, Matthew (Arien), Matt (Batman), Jeremiah, Robert, Grace, Rose, Ophelia, Kalisia, Tiger, Yeller, Tasia, Dustfinger, Neppie, Balec, Nicole, Elly, Sian, and Vincent, I hereby would like to give my official and eternal thanks. Whether or not you knew it and whether or not you were aware I adopted you… 
I’m amazing like that. 
, you all have been an amazing blessing to me, and a very special part of my life these past two years. Thank you for being there for me and teaching me so much. May God bless you a thousand times over for your kindness towards me! God bless,
~Calista Beth / Milly Manderly
