═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Hello everyone.
I hope you are all fine and spending a great spring time.
I have to write this journal for quite a long time now. But I don't know what to say or how to say things I must tell you.
I'm scared to be too long, to personal.. don't know. (edit : well I was right XD)
First ! Sorry for the Hiatus. You may saw that I wasn't that productive past months.
I'm very sorry and mostly for people waiting for art. I didn't forget you.
I didn't really told anyone except close people what was really going on.
Here's the truth. Each Christmas of my life was worse than the previous one and I really wanted this to change in 2013.
Family drama, disappointments, money problems.. each time.
I just wanted all to be ok this time. I made a lot of commission to have money, even had a new boyfriend to try something
new because with my ex our relationship was not working since 2 years and it was killing me.
Tried to work harder, discover new people. And for the first time of my life I spent Christmas not with familly but with my boyfriend's friends/familly.
Just to try if it will be different.
Well it was.
I was even worse in fact.
On Christmas day my mom called me to say that my Dad was in hospital, that he was not able to eat anymore.
That he could have just a bad indigestion.
Since few years he was not that very strong and sportive dad like he used to be. Very slim, maybe to much.
I was worry about his lack of energy and his weight (the same than me :s) and we had a lot of argument and fight about this.
But well, at 53 years old it's a bit normal to be slow ans grow old.
Then everything was getting faster. My boyfriend was totally kidding me and was not a good support, and we broke. I was still in love with my ex Mielou.
Who was suffering a lot of our breaking up. And this thing in my head about my father. Is it a cancer ? Is it serious ? How my family handle this ?
More than that, all my friends were busy with their own problems. I was totaly empty and felt alone.
I turned crazy. Too much things you know. Even if I had money to earn, commission to do. I went to my parent's, without computer or anything.
It was hard. At first he was just, you know sick. Watching tv with me in the living room. Laying on the couch.
We were talking. Not that much. We was even tired to speak.
Then hospital. Again, and again. Two full month wondering what's going on. Hearing doctors saying that they don't find what's wrong with him.
They didn't have a clue. My father was getting skinnier and skinnier. Unable to eat correctly.
Then they found it, a cancer. Of what ? We still don't know today. He had a Chemotherapy. But he was so weak. They tried to find the cancer and heal the damages.
I came back home to work a bit and prepare a convention I planned to do in April. Polymanga. I was unable to draw. I was to scared.
Two month without working. Impossible when you are freelance artist. I was broke. I needed to go back, to draw like I always did and keep hope.
I didn't had much time there. My mom called me 3 days after. " I think, you should really come back..". I never book and took a train that fast.
I knew what she meant by that. After that came the longest week of my life. Visiting my father at the hospital. Lying to him and pretending all was ok.
Wondering which day he will leave. He was here, chatting, saying jokes. Skinny as a skeleton. Funniest skeleton ever.
In pain, scared. When you see this, you lost a part of you, it's your dad.. your childhood that you see weak and scared like a little child.
Suddenly I had to take care of my mom who never let someone else do the thing for her. She was just a lost child too.
My two brothers and the rest of my family too. I knew since christmas that 2014 was the year when my dad will go. Not them, they were full of hope,
a bit in denial. I was not. Each second I spend with him was precious because I knew it was maybe the last.
At some point I wanted him to go. To just fall asleep. He was in horrible pain..I was happy to think he will be not in pain anymore. At the end he was smiling. My mom spent a night and day with him alone
in his hospital bed. Strange feeling.
And then he just left.
Papers,layers,money..cries, papers. More cries. Cries on papers. More money.
The worst thing is what family have to deal with after all of this. Mostly in France.
It's been a month now. He left the first day of spring. March 22 th. As a former landscaper it's a bit funny.
He was like this. Silent, discreet.. but doing jokes time to time.
Sound strange but I didn't knew him that much even if we were close. We was never really talking about himself. His past or experiences.
I learn thing on him everyday, more than when he was alive.
And it's making me proud.
I took one month. To rest, to calm down. To try to find sleep. And to work again.
The Anime convention I did ,Polymanga helped me a lot to stay motivated and had new ideas about my job.
It worked very well and I met cool people.
I feel different. I guess I will not be able to explain you in what exactly.
I'm just not the same person anymore. I don't do things I used to do since I'm little. And start to do new things I never be interested for.
I'm not proud of me or of what I've done of my life so far. I'm not self confident but I realized that I wanted to show something else
to my father before he goes. I don't go high enough. I can draw, create, sell, live better.
I'm to lazy. My dream was to live of my art. And when I succeeded 2 years ago I didn't go further.
I just wanted to be a better person for my dad to be even more proud of me.
So I try to do it.. Not sure if it means that I'm adult now.
At the end I'm still the little girl who love to draw.
She is just a bit broken. Well a lot in fact.
Sorry if it was bad english, a wall of text and a bit personal
I think I needed this.
Thanks for your support.
Ps : I changed my To do list link, you can find it here.
And I updated they link everywhere else ^^
Thanks !

Your hiatus is more than justified, and hopefully everybody will understand that.
From what you tell, your father sounds like he was a great person. You and your family have my sincere condolences.
You also have my best wishes to find new strength and fulfill your goals - because even if you got lazy 2 years ago, does not mean you can not keep going again. You are a great artist, with lots of potential to become even better. And I hope you will be able to do so.
Best wishes, Shali.
Tu as tellement eu de merdes qui sont tombés ces derniers temps, mais tu es pourtant rester très forte durant ces durs moments, et que malgré la chaos et la désolation qui t'a guetté durant ces derniers mois, tu as su quoi faire pour toi.. Mais aussi pour les autres.
Tu as également du faire des choix difficiles, mais pourtant... Tu as gardé le sourire du mieux que t'as pu envers les autres.
Je n'ai pas encore vécu la perte d'une famille proche, mais je peux sentir à quel point c'est dur pour toi. Rien que d'y penser me donne la chair de poule.
Je ne sais pas si j'ai été d'une grande aide durant tout ce maudit temps, mais ce que j'espère, c'est que ma présence et ma bonne humeur a pu t'aider un peu.
En attendant, garde espoir, garde courage, la vie continue, et il y aura toujours des gens qui seront à tes cotés durant ces prochaines dures épreuves!
Calins pour la meilleure des pandas, sois forte Shali!
D'autant plus qu'il t'es arrivé pas mal d'autres saloperies à coté...
Tu le sais, tu pourras toujours compter sur moi quand ça va pas.
You'll always have my support whenever you need it dear Shali! You are a talented person with great soul, every father could only dream about an amazing daughter like you!
Stay strong! *Hugs*
It must be hollowing losing someone that important in your life, absolutely no doubt, and I wish you and your family all the strength I can.
Tous t'offrent çe soutient.
La vie est une épreuve en soit, ces épreuves nous forgent au fil du temps, perdre un membre de sa famille est une chose lourde, mais sache juste une chose " tant que cette personne sera maintenue dans tes souvenirs, celle-ci vivra à travers toi.
Poursuis tes rêves et conserve ce que tu aime le plus au monde, ton talent, ton sourire, ta vie et les personnes qui comptent le plus pour toi.
courage shalika-chan =3
Vraiment désolé Shasha ... =/
Si t'as besoin de parler ou quoi que ce soit d'autre on est tous là pour toi. <3
Gros bisous.
Merci ^^
I'm so sorry that you had to go through so many things, specially in previous years. And my most sincere condolences for the passing of your dad.
I see that you came through all of that and your vision of life is different, I could most probably say for the better, and getting to spend some valuable time with your dad is priceless. This is a very touchy story and I'm glad that it ended up being the best it could at least due to circumstances.
You are a fine person and a full grown woman now, you are strong and I'm really proud to know someone like you ^^
I wish you the best in what comes next, look up for yourself and hopefully the next Christmas will be much much better.
Take care my dear Panda friend ^^ *Panda hugs* and remember, if you feel lonely, there are a lot of nice people here that wants you to be happy ^^
I want to wish you the best of times ahead! Things will get better eventually and your father will continue to make you grow and feel stronger!
I wish you the very best, hun
Tu es forte.

Normalement dans ces cas là, c'est mieux quand on peux avoir quelqu'un de proche (petit ami, amis proche...etc) qui peuvent être là comme soutient moral. Mais dans ton cas on dirais que c'était pas vraiment le cas.
Toute mes condoléences en tout cas, et content de voir que tu es de retour après tout ça aussi. Mais si tu as besoin de parler a quelqu'un ou autre, je voulais aussi te dire de ne pas hesiter à me contacter. *gros hug*
Plein de gros hugs, suis là si t'as envie/besoin de causer..
Si le cœur t'en dis on peut se reparler une fois, mais sur Skype ou par MP/Notes cette fois-ci ^^
L'espoir fait vivre, et il y en a toujours.
Courage !
I'm rather speechless after reading all that...
surely you handled the situation in the best possible way, I really admire you for your strength and courage.
*hugs*
Même si nous n'avons pas énormément parlé, sache que je pense sincèrement à toi, ainsi qu'à ta mère, en espérant que vous arriviez toutes deux à vous sortir de la tristesse post-funéraire rapidement, et suis impatient de revoir tes dessins magnifiques.
Know that I've been following you all this time because of your art, which is absolutely amazing! I enjoy your streams mainly for you talking, and no nothing will ever change my nickname for you because it's true. You are one incredible Lady, never forget this. Your father loves you very much, and was always proud of you. What made him even more proud of you, was that you were there in hist last days. You cared, you loved, you came to comfort him. You can never make him more proud than his knowing you loved him so much to be there. Walk in confidence knowing this.
I myself will never know exactly when to be at my father's side for him to pass-on. He has Congestive Heart Failure thanks to his 5 heart attacks now. Every time he gets sick, it weakens him so badly he has to go to the hospital to be cared for. It usually happens fast, and while i'm at work. Makes it hard to reach me to let me know. I'll be happy if I get the chance to say good-bye before his passing. Otherwise, I know the one thing he's the most proud of me for is the fact he had grandkids. It's the one thing I did, that my sister could not.
Be Proud, Confident, and know that your father was incredibly proud of you Shali.
Never think otherwise....Never!
You have my thoughts, my prayers, and mine and my girlfriends hugs.
