Life-y stuff. (Patreon)

I'm not entirely sure what the best way to go about this is, but Dad's been diagnosed with a severe case of pancreatitis and has been hospitalized for, I wanna say 35-40 days I lost track. It's been a pretty big whirlwind of emotions, not knowing what the outcome will be or when he'll start showing signs of getting better, they're pretty small so far. Mom's been by his bedside since he was rushed in late January, and recently he was admitted to the ICU for proper care by a specialist. It was just such a sudden and serious thing to come out of nowheres it took us all by storm.
Needless to say, I'm still trying to get through everything art wise and keep Patreon going as best as I can. Not to mention keeping my mental health intact, even though just thinking about it knocks the wind out of me.
Thankfully we did set up a gofundme for Mom and the support from everyone here at home and around us has been wonderful, truly amazing to see everyone pull together on their behalf. I just worry about them constantly so it's been pretty taxing on me, some days art just won't come out right with so much going on... Figuring out ways to take the mind off such things to keep myself productive and combat the underlying anxiety.
He is making very small improvements after some setbacks, but it will be a really slow recovery, and I'm hoping he turns around soon. Dad just turned 50 and has so much life left to live for, I'm hoping with all of my heart he makes it. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on it as well if anything major happens. Just so you know where I'm at and what's going on in my life.
Send over some good vibes and fingers crossed he fights this. And as always (at the risk of sounding like a broken record haha...) thank your for your continued support, everyone. It means so much. ❤
