I apologize for the long hiatus of artwork and content, but ever since June of last year, my adoptive father had been battling 2 forms of cancer and dementia.
I got to see him one last time - but on January 18th he passed away.
He was the most hardass no-nonsense stern faced battleaxe of a father. And he made me capable of withstanding the worst the world can throw at me. As much as I mourn my father, I want to comfort my mother who is going to move back to Alabama with her sisters.
I have quite a number of commissions already done and waiting to be uploaded but if you're a fan of mine you know I have to throw my passion into each release and description -- and I'm just not feeling at top form right now. Things will get back to normal, but I'm just asking you to bear with me. Nothing hurts more than seeing your mother crying.

Any donations or help for my mother would be appreciated and reciprocated with artwork - Paypal is GamiCross[at]gmail.com -- The memorial will be on the 25th of February. He's cremated and has a full Air Force Honors stand and flag.

well that explains it.
memory is all that matters.
Take care of yourself. *hugs*
Work for this, on your terms.
I rarely cry, but just seeing her like broke me somewhere. I didn't cry then. I had to be strong. For her. It was hard. It IS hard, as I reflect on that morning. Stay strong, Gami, sorry for the paragraph when I originally just wanted to give my condolences, say "Try to stay strong," and offer my ear/shoulder/experience if you wanted.
Take your time to strengthen from this and supporting your family
Anyway, apologies if I appear cold in my response, I just figured offering condolances won't do you any good. But I hope you keep yourself distracted if you didn't get chance to grieve yet. Being alone with your thoughts at such time is a terrible thing.
Take all the time you need. I know it's hard on you, but you'll be stronger after this.
Uhh.. I know we've never really spoken to each other before, but I'm always here if you need to talk. As are many others.
My sympathies on the loss; my dad passed a bit over a year ago and the wound is still fresh. You're right, seeing your mother cry is one of the worst pains you can know. *offers hugs*
Family I had that was real close to me passed several years ago, and it cut real deep when they were gone from the world to me and the people that loved them.
I wish you and your mother the best in pulling through this trying time.
Take whatever time you need and know that we will be waiting whenever you come back, man.
