I haven't updated anything in an eon. To those who have been wondering, I'm sorry. It's been a rough year.

I've watched family members come and go, suffering, as we prepared for the departure of my grandmother. She was in Hospice care for 7 months and passed away on September 29th.
On that same side of the family, my Aunt Lisa has terminal cancer and was given 6 months to live in August. It's almost January, and she has two months to live. My dad and two uncles are losing two very close family members to them within the span of a year. Her cancer is extremely rare, so rare it's 1 in every 100,000.
Recently, we have another family member - distantly related - who has a cancer so rare, .3 in every 100,000 people get this. He was recently put into the hospital and, at 75, wasn't given long to live.
On my Mother's side of the family, her sister has a cancer so rare it's 1 in 100,000 as well, but she shall live.

Due to all this and more, I guess I've changed a lot, and in some ways, not at all, but I'm here, standing and ready to face everything once again. And I can do this.

My art...well, there's a lot I shall be posting (hopefully soon) from over the last year that I haven't gotten around to fixing yet.

I will prevail. And whatever your troubles, so too, shall you.

Best of luck in the upcoming year.
Bee.

I'll leave you all with this:
