Hiatus- I've never dealt with this before
12 years ago
♥.......................♥
"Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me.
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."

I have people waiting, not that many I've been doing really good at getting things out rather quickly, but I know I have some people still waiting for their trades and commissions. They are all inked, some colored, ect.
This is even hard to write, I don't handle well at all with situations like this, and I've never really dealt with one so close to me before. My dad has been fighting metastatic melanoma, and when I say that, I really don't mean fighting, more like kicking it's ass. Until he had his third chemo treatment on the tumor in his brain, he had really bad nausea, and instead of any hospital actually doing their damn jobs and getting him nutrition and fluids, they kept repeatedly sending him home. For 4 weeks my dad wasn't able to eat anything, he went downhill so fast and so quickly, I just...can't even believe it.
He passed away yesterday morning.
I had some issues with my dad for not being there the first 12 years of my life, but he really was one of my best friends, and pretty much the most important parent to me, besides my grandma. I never thought I would lose him, and especially not this fast.
I've been an absolute wreck, trying to keep myself distressed as I am 8 months pregnant, but it's pretty hard right now.
So I'm taking a Hiatus, I've got so much to do with planning his memorial, and trying to raise the $1,900 we need to have him cremated.
I'll have everyones art done when I have the spare time. But I promise all owed artwork will be done before the second week of June.
Thanks for understanding.

I have several close friends who are either recent mothers or are about to be mothers in this fandom. Some I've met. 3 follow my twitter and I'd like to think we look out for each other when we can.
There are others in this community that I'm waiting patiently on for commissions who are pregnant and I have stressed the same to them, even though we're more like acquaintances and the relationship is mostly just client/service provider. I still pay attention to see if they're doing ok, while keeping professional distance.
Please.
Put your child's welfare above everything else, take care of yourself, take care of those around you, and minimize stress.
You don't need anyone pestering you about artwork with all that going on. I don't mind if the work isn't done until long after your child is born either, because I'll continue to show you the same patience I always have.
If I can make a donation to offset costs and you will allow that, let me know.
I just want to have all my trades and commissions finished before the baby gets here because I know I'm not going to have any time at all for artwork for quite some time. I'm just taking time out so I can get everything situated and give myself enough time to mourn my dad.
Also if you, or anyone else you might know who would want to help, I need help with a few things, I made a journal about it http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4606064/
I really can use, and appreciate all the help I can get with this.
Stay strong and try to find comfort whenever you can, make his spirit live on in you and your child who will surely be healthy and strong as well.
My most sincere condolences and please don't feel like you have to apologize to a bunch of people in the internet. Your health both physical and emotional always comes first.
Best wishes
