She Loved Tulips
5 years ago
“Tulips were her favorite flower
They loved a good rains shower
They’d stand tall among the grass
Never one for her to pass”
On Saturday, February 29th, my Mother lost her battle with cancer. It has been a long road to recovery and getting her back to health over the past year was one of the hardest things yet. One we all wish was the end of that chapter. Unfortunately not all things go according to how we want them to.
It's still all too fresh to talk about even though it's almost been nearly 3 weeks. What's worse is it's barely been a year since Dad's passing too and the only thing I can say is how much I distaste the month of February now.
You all have been so supportive throughout the journey it’s been. All the surgeries, the back and forth to the hospital, and all the endless nights. I can't begin to tell you all how much it meant to us. You’ve become a community I can always talk to and my gratitude for that will never ease.
I've had to make a lot of decisions during the past few weeks though and this particular one has been on my mind for a while. It’s only after a case like this that reiterates what I need to do.
I've decided to refund all commissions, trades, etc. and go on hiatus.
This was a hard decision to make but no matter how much I want to finish the things I've started I have to be honest with myself and better to the people who commission me. This doesn't mean I don't want to draw ever again or do commissions. I've not been happy for a while now and even with what's happened I don't feel like I can do anything at the moment. I don't know when I feel like I will.
I feel like it's the right decision to make. I know the majority of you all have been more than understanding and patient with me but I don't feel right in making anyone wait anymore. I don't want to try and push myself to finish commissions over a year ago anymore. It’s been a heavy stress on me but it was a stress of my own doing. Though I still don't feel like doing "this” fixes the situation, it's better than anyone having to wait anymore.
I have sent messages to everyone and will be ironing out details with each individual. My memory isn't the greatest at the moment so if I have forgotten you, please-please message me.
Thank you again to everyone for being there. Through all the rough times and for your encouragement along the way. I'm so sorry for the things I haven't followed through with and hope to do better in the future. For now I just need to step away.
Be careful and safe wherever you are in the world.
