It's been quite some time since I've been here. Things had taken a rather sad turn, and I lost my father back at the end of March. Just days before my birthday, we were going to have a nice meal somewhere. Before I knew it, he was gone from me. I'd been taking care of him for some time, especially after my mother had passed . It's been a hard few months, dealing with overwhelming grief, bills and everything else. His death was sudden, traumatic and left me reeling for some time. I've been doing better, bit by bit. Been taking time to relax, spend time with friends and family. I don't want to go into too much detail right now, but I have been working on things. Not sure when they'll be posted, but I'm wandering back to making stuff again.
