That's unfortunate, my father died only about a month ago, it was, is, devastating, I know how you feel, and I hope you can work through it. This was the story that introduced me to this community, which while sometimes it's disappointing, it has been the best online community that I think I've ever been apart of, and I can't ever be grateful enough. No one should go through that, least of all you, you've personally brought me so many happy memories through writing, and I'm sure many other people have been brought even happier ones because of your writing, and without you, my world would be a little darker. When, you come back, we'll all be waiting to continue reading your fantastic story; though you probably don't remember me, so these words probably won't carry any of the impact that I intend them to have.
I hope that you have a happy holiday season, you deserve that much at least.
