                Totally agree with all the comments above.
                He is a big part of this gc family and I hope he comes back soon.

                    I just wonder if it’s anything to do with the recent departure of some former members of this forum. He’s chosen not to make his illness public and that is perfectly acceptable. My thoughts are with him and hope I he gets well soon. Wishing armandaii well.

                    Mods can remove this post if they think that is appropriate.

                        @Redwing, no removal necessary, and it is a perfectly logical question to ask. However, I can assure you that it was nothing to do with other events taking place on the forum, although those events did run concurrently for a time, and certainly made Armandii's life harder than it needed to be at the very time he didn't need it to be so.

                        And yes @lolimac, we all miss that cheeky bugger :biggrin:

                          Certainly nice for such friendship and affection to be expressed. Is it not possible for the powers to be etc of the forum to contact him and enquire?

                          I also offer my best wishes.

                            We have tried, but sadly he is a very private person and did not disclose any more detail to us than he did to the wider forum, and whilst we have home contact details for him they are currently not of any use as he is in hospital (and we don't know which one).

                            I promise, the moment we hear any news, we will share it with everyone - in the meantime, we can but hope and pray for our friend to get well soon.
