Prayers for my Aunt
4 years ago
I sit here with tears streaming down my face as I write this journal to update old and new commissioners. I recently found out my aunt had breast cancer after going in for a scan from an infected dog bite to her foot. Not only did the infection reach the bone and she may lose her foot but she also found out about the cancer. We didn’t know how bad it was... until last week or so... she’s terminal. It’s in her breasts, wrists, liver, spleen, pelvis, elbows, etc.
That being said. If it takes your commission a wee bit longer than normal it’s due to me coping with the fact that I’m going to lose my most beloved aunt and we don’t know when. There was no time given. And I know that means we could have years and years left. But tomorrow is never certain and I’ve learned that the hard way one too many times in my life. So. I’m making this journal as not only a warning for sudden break downs mid streams or disappearances... I’m also making this as an apology for not being the artist I was and separating home and work...
This aunt I speak of gave me the courage to come out not only to my family as a bisexual female but to come out to the world. She’s shown me no matter what life throws at ME, I’m strong enough to over come it because I’ve already overcome so much in my 31 years. She always reminds me to keep drawing to keep moving forward with my art because she believes in me. She believes in my talent and always has since I was little. She’s my rock outside of my mom and sister. (I don’t get along with the women on my dad’s side and the other women on my mom’s)
She’s made me who I am today along with the help of my mom and dad and so many furs I’ve met through this site and in the fandom in general. So again. This is a forewarning that turn arounds for art will very not only because of my fibromyalgia but because of my mental health and for that I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart.
I love you all. Cherish those you love and respect. No matter the age. Like I said earlier. Tomorrow is NEVER promised. Take today as if it were your last. Cherish every waking moment you have. Love yourself and those around you. Be kind and be safe my fur friends.
Sincerely,
Ro
