Regarding my lack of activity on every social media account I own, I'm not really expecting much people to be wondering

where I was, I'm not precisely a well known artist, though I am known so I always assume some of you

may care to know how things have been going

Well as ok as they have been just recently, I'm sorry to say that although my dad had just defeated Cancer and gone back home, this victory was quickly followed by another trip to the hospital, as he was not doing too well already, and he still had some complications needed to take care of, from then on followed increasingly worrisome symptoms and where I live, as much as we have free healthcare, this comes at the cost of most people there being... barebones in their treatments, a crowded place where most people are treated unfairly and most doctors don't actually care about the patients or their families

By the end of this we managed to get him on a costly hospital but once there, the free hospital had let him go with many important issues they MUST have realized, my theory is they just wanted him to die at home and not be their problem anymore, but not telling us is the part I find inhuman and downright cynical

He had Tuberculosis, and it had gone untreated, of course, since we didn't know and the doctors never did anything to tell us or treat it, they fixed most other things wrong with him but unfortunately he was having too many complications, my mom called me and my sisters to come say our goodbyes, and that's where all these news hit me suddenly

I got to see him, if heavily sedated, and the whole process of veiling, praying, and going to Mass as well as the ceremony where they'd put his ashes in the crypt of a church next to where he used to teach, was mentally, emotionally and physically tiring, I could not catch a break, not even a moment to be by myself with my feelings, and it was draining me just seeing my mom distraught from all this, as well as my family members

I am able to deal with loss pretty well myself, I don't fear the concept of life just ending, and I'm fine with the fact this just eventually happens to all of us, but it's been still hard from his absence and how draining everything after was, after this I took time to be by myself and just cope with all this but unfortunately I got sick, wasn't Covid but of course my family was worried for a good while

Today I'm pretty much all cured, and I'm not sure if I have the same drive to progress with my current unfinished projects just yet but, I guess life goes on and on, if I don't soon, I can't expect to grow like the artists responsible for those characters you see there in the background

Thanks if anyone read this, I'll still try to be more active
