I still think I'm in disbelief hearing it. My stepmom is genuinely the strongest person I know; to think someone as infallible as her can be taken away that soon. Honestly, I am desperately hoping that the brain tumor in her head is something that can be treated, but it is in a horrible place and it's far more likely that the surgery she's going to undergo is going to just prolong her life for a little bit longer. Hopefully by a couple years <:)
My dad is about to lose the love of his life. My 9 and 12 year old siblings are about to lose their mom. And me? ...I don't know how I feel. My stepmom and I have a complicated relationship. My real mom is a narcissist, and honestly if it wasn't for my stepmom I probably could have ended up as a horrible person myself. I don't think I would be the person I am without her- even my refusal to lie comes from her. Even though she isn't my real mom... I have always considered her my mother. Our relationship has been complicated... I don't think we have ever told each other that we loved each other throughout my entire life. She's always been an actions over words kind of person. Yesterday, as she gave us the news, she held me tight and whispered that she loved me. I will never forget that for the rest of my life. Just thinking about it makes me tear up.
I have been preparing for the worst, but I will never stop hoping for the best. My life is definitely going to be completely different, my family needs me more than ever. But neither of them want this to ruin my life and prevent me from living my life. Surely I can do both, right? I know I can.
Thank you everyone who has donated to my little brother's birthday fund. Hearing that his mom was going to die the day before his birthday was devastating, to say the least. But I was able to go out and give him a wonderful birthday. We went out to a restaurant and got steak, I took him to go bowling, laser tag, the arcade, mini golf... And we even opened some prismatic evolution boxes! (Got nothing though ugh). I'm going to treasure every joyful moment I have while my stepmom is still here.
I really want to thank you for being the best community I could ever have. I'm sorry for not responding to everyone, I am not really emotionally stable to talk. But I have read (I believe) every single message and it really, truly means so so so much to me. I still don't know what I did to deserve such kindness from you all. I really treasure you all, I can't believe I am blessed with such wonderful and supportive people. When my friend suggested that I should make a FA account since I liked drawing dragons, I did it for the lols not expecting anything. Never would I have ever imagined that I would get to the point where I am now. Thank you all, I don't think I can ever express in words how much you all mean to me.
Thank you all for reading this little journal blurb. In real life I'm trying to stay strong for my family, because being positive and joyful can do a lot to make things brighter. Writing all of this down just grounds me a little... I feel a lot better now. Here's hoping for better news soon <:)

stay strong for everyone!!
As the oldest, it can feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders to be strong for your little siblings. I'm happy to hear that your community was able to rally behind you to help give your little brother a good birthday despite the circumstances, but don't forget to take care of yourself. Find time to be vulnerable, to write down happy memories so they're immortalized, and to talk with people who can be strong for you. Don't carry such a heavy burden by yourself.
She may be your step-mom, but as the corny phrase goes: she isn't your step-mom, but the mom that stepped up, and like you, I hope for the best outcome every minute of every day and am always available for anything you need.
I'm hoping for the best for your step-mom, I hope you can stay strong for whatever ends up happening.
be brave
Everyone here will support you as best as they are able too im sure of it <3
As for being here and having your community... Well Ryukiri, you built this community... We all wouldn't be HERE if it weren't for you... and I am sure that just because you existed here, many more friendships and bonds formed all around you. I can safely say that the Community is just as if not more thankful that you exist~
Goodluck friend and stay strong!
I lost a beloved grandparent earlier this year. My father was hurt the most out of everyone more then I'll ever know. Its a long story. The years up to his death, the drama, the not knowing where or if he was still ok. The constant pressure of the drama surrounding the whole situation. The sadness and the hurt that you'll also feel all the way up to the end...and even after. Its ok to cry Ryu, I did too. I went to work thinking I was fine but bawled my eyes out as I left one monday morning. Imagine, 43 year old man doing that. Heh. But. People understand. We all understand. Its ok to be sad, upset to grieve the loss of a beloved family member.
Once it all over, you'll remember the good times, and all fun things you did with her. You'll appreciate the good times. You'll always remember and talk about the good times. Because of that, she'll always be with you. <3
We are all hoping for the best here, and now you need to be stronger than ever, please hold on!
I really wish she'll be able to stay as much as possible in good health, so you can share new good memories.
Don't worry you're not here, it's really understandable you need some time.
Take care, to all of you
Hoping for the best for your step-mom
