Important Notice:
This story is on hiatus for the time being as many things have been going on in real life. First and foremost, I have had a bad case of writer's block since the posting of the last chapter that in of itself is bad enough but other things have also occurred.
Just after the posting of the last chapter my mother was in hospital for surgry which took place out of town. I had to drive and take care of her while she was in the care of the hospital. As soon as we got home my wife suffered a mini-stroke which, while serious, was not enough to cause concern. Having said that I spent my time with my wife and as this was going on my mother was taken to hospital once more and has been an inpatient for the last three weeks.
While all this was going on I tried to distract myself by writing but I have been unable to concentrate. At the moment I can't even read what stories I follow or have listed as liking as I try to get my muse back. Well, this was well and fine until this morning, 10Nov17, as I write this I'm waiting for word on my wife's condition as we had to send her to hospital via ambulance as she's had another stroke and it seems to be worse that the previous one.
I'm posting this notice as it's been a while since I posted anything and I'm two months behind my schedule. I feel it important to you, my readers and followers, that you know whats going on. My concerns are of my wife and mother at the moment as well as my own health issues. Contrary to the average member here I'm nearly sixty years old and while my mind is still young my body isn't and the years of labor intensive jobs has taken it's toll with constant pain in my entire back, morphine helps but the pain is always there, as well as very high blood pressure. So high in fact that I should be the one having strokes not my wife.
Now, the story is just on hold and not dead like my failed "A Boy And His Fox". It will be continued but at the moment I have other things that need my attention. I hope you all understand and not think poorly of me. I feel very bad for not updating but with all that's going on it's just not possible at this time.
Until I update this story I wish all of you my best and hope you have a very good holiday season.
