i am back & i missed yall <3

[Deathshroud]

i'll try to keep this short & sweet..

so things have calmed down enough around my end of life that i can return to my beloved RM & get back to my job here & be involved in all the great people that make this site what it is..i apologize for my AWOL status & for not being around for such a while..

some of you might have known that my mother got pretty sick around july of last year, at the time we thought it wasn't really a big deal but it turned out to be a huge deal, we learned she had lung & bone cancer - at first we had a big positive outlook & were getting really good feedback from the cancer center @ VCU, but things went bad quickly & after several runs with chemo & radiation treatments she was left in really bad shape & without any other options for care..so when this turn of events happened i started withdrawing myself from pretty much everything, i drowned myself in work & trying to spend as much time with her as i could - her health declined rapidly but we were able to share a thanksgiving & christmas together - she was in good spirits & we shared as many smiles as we could..

in january of this year i lost my mother to her battle & obviously have had a pretty rough time dealing with it, so i withdrew from EVERYthing at this point, shifting my care duties to my father & making sure he was alright, kind of feeling lost - like i was in a dream & none of this was real, but it was & is & we're taking it one day at a time, i've been in contact with some of yall recently & i'm really happy to know my extended RM family has my back..

so with all that said, i'm not looking for an outpour of sympathy or anything but i wanted to give yall an explanation of why i haven't been around, so there you go. i am in a good place now & am coping with life, learning from it & moving forward & i am ready to be back, GLAD to be back & looking forward to meeting all the new members that joined when i wasn't around as well as reconnecting with all my friends that have been here forever.

so thank yall & let the good times roll from here on out
