Hello again my sweet, considerate friends  I'm sorry that I've worried you by being gone and silent over this past week, I've just been dealing with some issues that have strangled all my attention and thoughts away from anywhere but the situation itself.

Last Sunday, one of the uncle's I'm the closest with had a severe heart attack that almost killed him- it's a miracle that he made it to the hospital at all. After them seeing the seriousness of the situation, that hospital sent him on to the hospital in the capital.

My entire family's been sucked into this hole- my folks have been living in the waiting room up there everyday since, and I've just been here going through the motions at work whist trying to keep a handle on what I can do to help as well as watching this house.

 They took him into surgery yesterday to try and perform a quadruple bypass, but after getting into his chest cavity, they found his heart to be so diseased that they couldn't do anything for him.

Only a third of his heart is alive, so after he's recovered from the surgery, he"ll be coming here so we can take care of him 

I'm sorry to drop such grave news on you all, but I feel as close to you as any friends I've ever had- I value you, so I feel you should know what's been going on with me and why I've been gone. 

I'll be getting more active again like I was- having been reached out to by my royal sister @Alexshy over discord, I was reminded of how positive and good this community and my friends here are, and how those thoughts and those people are the ones I need to be trying to spend my time with, especially during these trying times 

It's easy to get sucked into a well of bad emotions and thoughts with this kind of thing, especially when I've had to deal with it before, so thank you all for being you, and don't ever stop being the wonderful ponies you are ❤
