Hello everyone.
Dropping in to give you all an update on my situation.
This tragedy has left a deep wound on my family and I. The past two years we've been fighting to get to the bottom of my mom's sporadic health condition; She lost a great deal of her ambulatory strength in 2021 and ended up in a wheelchair. Physical therapy seemed to only go so far, and she was improving, but then we both caught Covid in May of 2022. She spent some time in a rehab center and got back to baseline...but then, as you may recall, she ended up in the hospital again right at the end of December.
It seemed like we could only get so far each time before something else happened. Despite it all, my mom never gave up. I don't know how she did it, but she would just keep getting back up when something knocked her down, working to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
But... then she had a massive stroke... and that was it. It was so sudden and unexpected, and there was nothing we could do.
She was just... gone.
Services won't be for a few weeks due to my family's schedules. Obviously it's going to take me some time to recover, parse all these feelings, etc. As I said before, I'm lucky I have a small backlog of content that's finished, so hopefully my posts won't dry up completely. And I will make an effort to stay somewhat active socially on the Discord server.
I want to take a moment to once again thank everyone who reached out to me and offered their condolences and shoulders to lean on during all of this. I am truly blessed to have so many people who know about me and care about me enough to do that, even going so far as to donate to help me out.
Words are still honestly not enough to express how grateful I am for the sheer level of compassion that this community has shown me these past few years. It's absolutely incredible to me that my work has managed to touch so many people in such a wonderful way.
Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. I have every intention of coming back in full force once my headspace is cleared out a bit.
