A/N
I want you guys to know that I DO plan on continuing this story. I'm sorry for not writing in a while. I wanted to update you on what is going on so that hopefully you will be willing to wait a couple more weeks or so for the story to continue. That, and I think you deserve to know why I am taking so long. My uncle was diagnosed with liver cancer maybe a week after I updated this. They put him on chemo and said after some of the tumors went away he would be able to have a partial liver transplant. Except, a couple of weeks later on Good Friday they decided that he was too far along and there was nothing he could do. Fast forward to that following Monday and he was in the hospital and they gave him a few days. He died a week later.
Everything has happened so fast. He just moved back home from Illinois. I was just getting to know who my uncle was. He is my dad's brother. He was only 46. He had already survived kidney cancer from when he was two. It happened so fast.
It is hard for me to make sense of everything. It is hard to process. I am sad. I lost not only an uncle, but the family I had received through marriage. I will probably never see my aunt and cousins again. If I do, it will be awkward at best.
I delivered the eulogy. That took a lot of my time. I also spent a lot of time at the hospital trying to let my uncle know that I loved him.
So that is where I have been. It's been a really rough month and I hope you guys can understand why I haven't updated. I plan on finishing this story though, and I will update as soon as my heart feels ready.
Thank you for your time and I hope you can forgive me.
