Hey everyone, it's me, Jasmine.

I know it's been awhile since I've been on here as much and hadn't uploaded frequently like I planned.

I want to explain the reason why I haven't drawn as much as I should. Especially clients comms I owe folks.

This journal is gonna be a difficult one for me to write and I can struggle at delivering some bad news. So bear with me. I honestly don't know how I'm gonna say this.
But I'm gonna try.

I've been taking care of my dad a lot for these past few months as his health has deteriorated bad over the last couple of years with Parkinsons disease he's had for awhile now. His appearance became increasingly frail and struggled to do even the most basic tasks.

Yesterday morning, he came down with a seizure which gave us all a scare, resulting in us calling for paramedics to the house. I was asleep whilst this happened as I was up all night till 6am helping him change positions on bed throughout the night.

Well... It turns out he has cancer as well. Which happens to be located in his liver and internal organs. Which is a pretty fatal thing to have. So I guess it looks like my father is pretty much dying and only has weeks or months to live. Give or take. So I guess you could say I haven't took this news very well and was unable to write this journal yesterday due to the emotional state I was in all day yesterday. Been crying and felt sick, unable to eat or focus on anything.

My dad now needs full time care and we have hospice care workers helping my dad daily now and a carer at night to help with his end of life care as he approaches the end of his life as he wants to spend his last remaining days on earth in the comfort in his home. Surrounded by his family.

I just wanted to tell you all this incase you all wondered where I went and if I disappeared of something. I really do honestly feel rotten and bad for letting you guys down and I always appreciate the support you've all given me all these years and I'm happy you all enjoy my artwork I create.

I do aim to push myself to draw art I've been meaning to get done and finish up client's comms I've been owing for awhile now and will keep those posted.

I just don't know what I'm gonna do with myself once he's gone as he's done so much for me and my family our whole lives. And for the good memories he gave us.
Anyway...

I hope this clears up a few things and explains why things haven't been easy for me at home these past few months.
I hope you are all well and keeping okay.
I know it's a long entry. But I want to thank you all for your understanding and support. Rest assured. I haven't forgotten about you all at all and I love all my friends and fans everywhere.
