It's so sad! I hope he is alright. His presence will be missed in the sim.

My heart is breaking. He did tell me a while back that his life was becoming extremely busy. He was so much fun, and such a big part of the SIM, especially in the AWR. Will miss him badly.

Possible to delay the dispersals pending his answer? Would hate for him to be going through something horrible and come back to his barn being no more.

:(

Sad to see some people leaving .. I didn’t know Garret personally here .. but his horses have made a big impact.. I especially seen it more in the Arab breed and a lot of my foundation mares are bred by him.. I do hope he’s okay too, and things are not too serious for him in a bad way. we never know what someone or the person next to you… is going through and what struggles or stresses they are dealing with. :( as much as some try so hard to hide it..

It certainly makes me think what the reaction might have been when I left for so many years leaving behind in AJ some great horses… although I was never in a bad way.. the sim did some amazing things while I was gone for 5 years.

Be good to hear if someone learns that Garret is ok.
I love that about the sim community.. most here are extremely caring to others here and are so genuine about that.

Yea .. a delay in the dispersal auction? As mentioned above?

I would be OK with delaying for 24-48 hours to make sure he's OK

Fully agree with this sentiment. He was such a good person and the extra effort to keep track of all the AWR accomplishments was such a nice touch. Hate seeing him go.

That was me.

Garret and I had several conversations over the last few months. He said his real life is absolutely crazy and the SIM was the thing going. He was mainly playing for Exodus. I am sorry real life gobbled him up.
