Da Roo speaks
Just wanted to let you all know that my dad is now out of the hospital and is back, home happy as can be. It is still early to relax just yet, but I hope and think things will go well. I just wanted to thank you all once again for your kind words of support, it has meant a lot too me and has reminded me that regardless if your a friend or a stranger, this community truly has many honest and kind supportive people within it.
But as the situation has progressed I have found out more in regards to the day my dad had his attack and I would like to share with you what my dad went through. The night it happened my father (who is in the military) was checking the security of the rear most gate of the garrison that he is stationed at. It was late and with high elevation and horrid English weather, it was easily a cold if not bitter night.
When the attack happened the garrison he was stationed at was down to a guard crew of only ten men, each one spread out preforming their various duties, so my dad was all alone when his heart attack happened. So as it took hold my dad remembered to start coughing as to ensure his chest would compress (something I did not know) to keep his heart going, and shambled for over two miles in the dark, cold, wet night all by himself to get help, which he inevitably received.
This show of strength from my dad has reaffirmed my belief that he will push on and get better, but the end result has had a long lasting affect upon my family, emotionally and financially. So what I am to ask next is nothing short of a plea for help, and I feel weak in myself as I have never asked a single person in my life for any assistance or drop of charity. I never for a moment thought that I would be asking the community for this kind of support, but needs must.
Unlike others, I have seen and or heard about, who plea and beg the community for money and give nothing of value in return is something that I can not bring myself to do. My fathers incident has for the better lack of the word, near bankrupted my family and as their son I wish to help support my parents, undoubtedly a feeling we all share and can agree upon.
In doing this I wish to reiterate that what I am asking is nothing more than a promise; to all those that chose to help and assist me to provide something, I want to at least give value to you as repayment or reward for your generosity and kindness. So what I would like to ask of the community is support, not free money.
To any and all who read this and wish to help me, may I direct your attention to my Patreon, in supporting me for a minimum of two dollars a month you can really help me, help my father on the road to recovery, and at least get a continuous comic series, I do not wish to take without offering anything in return. You will not only be helping me to progress within the community and strive more to provide better quality art, but you will also be helping me help my dad on the road to recovery.
Thank you for reading this, their is NO obligation whatsoever, I just wish to offer and provide something worth while for your continued support, thank you. And thank for those who have supported me already and who have made it possible for me to be an artist within the community here.

Cheers!
I am so happy that he's made it through that terrible time.
What a scare :( sending good vibes your guys way!
I think you handled yourself very well, and your father has a right to be proud of you. You have an emotional bond with your father - that's something a lot of people in this fandom, me included, wish they could have.
I never knew my father. He died a few months before I was born. But I would like to think I'd have had an emotional bond with him like you share. We forget sometimes how important family is. No, we might not always love them, we may sometimes even hate them. But blood always matters. Being of the same blood, the same genes, the same inherited traits...it means something. Your father will always be alive in you, so no matter what the future holds, always remember the amazing torch you carry inside you.
You mention that he is a Scottish Southern Highlander, you may excuse me but I think this is right for him & you, Enjoy!
