Harry Houdini Would be Proud

[oren]

Not that anyone would really care, but I am going to be disappearing in and out for the next two weeks for various reasons two of the main reasons are below.

The less traumatic one being I have to deal with college registration since I've finally switched over to art college and making people happy I'm doing what I want.

The other being one of my aunts (fathers sister) was diagnosed with cancer of the gallbladder. Since it's one of the harder forms of cancer to detect it is usually discovered when it's too late. So now my family here is basically getting ready to go down for the funeral after she passes away in one and a half to two weeks from now. I'm angry that she's gotten this after having a hard life, and because I can't understand why my uncles are not willing to go and see thier sister while she's still alive (father is currently with her along with his other sister and five other brothers and mother to look after her). You can't start caring for someone when they are dead.

Anyways, I'm not going to lie. I probably will forget to log out of here like I always do, and I will try to post in whatever thread I'm supposed to be active in.

Feel free to be sarcastic assholes if you want to. I'm not in a mood to deal with you guys if you are.

You want to talk, I'm here. Damned if I don't know what it's like to lose your family and friends.

[A Nony Mouse]

my condolences... hope everything goes smoothly and you can all come to peace w/ it.

[Koran]

Not that no one cares?

You serious? This is Althanas, and we're like a band of brothers/sisters here. Lose one, it's like losing family.

....

Well, not exactly to that extreme, but you get my point. I hope.

In any case, take care of yourself but don't over clock your system.

More people care than you think, me included. It never helps to have additional problems, even the minor stuff seems bad in times like this. You're lucky you've got your art, I know it can't heal the pain but you might could channel it. Best of luck...I don't know you're religous standing, but if it doesn't offend you I'll pray for you. If it does, just tell me to shut up and buzz off.

[Arcanafang]

yeah it's really hard. My Mother just died of cancer. I really hope things work out for you and you can come back and have fun. But eitherway i hope the best for you.

[Mithra Reborn]

sarcastic asshole-ing is for jesting and having fun. don't worry. like Koran kinda said...we're all one big dysfunctional family. we're here for you to help. I've lost a grandfather to cancer. I'm sure a lot of other people have lost someone to cancer. So don't be afraid to turn to dear ol' Althy when times get rough ;D *hugs* good luck, and my regards.

Just a little update...

Thanks everyone for the kind words, and sorry for basically biting all of your heads off. I haven't been in a real good mood about what has been going on.

On the lines of my aunt, I have been in and out of the house visiting my uncles since they're talking with the rest family over the phone/computer. All I know from yesterday is that she's just being given a lot of morphene, and it's just a wait and pray thing going.

Edit: A little consolation For Better of For Worse by Lynne Johnston - March 30th 2008 (http://www.fborfw.com/strip_fix/archives/003062.php) I remembered it when my friend sent me this exact comic to tell me exactly how she was dealing with the fact her dad was diagnosed with ALS.

Well, the call finally arrived, and my aunt has passed away. Despite feeling sad and sorry for my dad and the rest of the family, I think the hardest thing I've done was call my uncles to see if they recieved the news as well. Turns out they didn't and I don't think any other form of breaking bad news to people can really kill you on the inside than that. It is... I don't even know how to explain at the moment what it's like to actually tell a person that thier sister passed away.

once again, a little less active or even bothering to start rp's, which I haven't even done for a month or two.
