The hiatus continues, well sort of. Until next time…COURAGE.

I know that this is usually reserved for my blatherings and rants, but I feel like I need to address the major devastation that has occurred to my family this year. As some might recall, I lost my mother on March 6th of this year and a week ago today, June 28th,  my father passed as well. My head has not yet begun to sift through all of this, but needless to say I and my family are shattered by all of this.

Things are very difficult right now. I, of course, have illustrations and other projects popping up in my head right now, but any action towards these will most likely be delayed for a stint. Hopefully the delete will recover from this and be the “same lovable outcast” that we all love to hate, but I’ve heard the healing process is a long one, that is if it is even possible to fully recover from this. The delete would hope that happier times are coming for my family and I.

I love you mom and dad, Beatrix will know you.

We had seven years before the ravages of the demons knocked you to your knees. Two beautiful babies came to please. Our honeymoon began on a granite spine where we could survey all that is good in God’s verdant forest choir.

You were my beacon of strength through years of my own demons, real and inside me. Your soft caring heart stood with me the dozen trips to the brink and pulled me back to be Dad and Grandpa.

Sometimes we were vinegar and soda over inane little things but we stood tilted towards each other.

You taught me patience by example. You taught me strength by watching you. My family loved you from your first visit. You’ve been gone a month today but it feels like you’ve been away for years, yet I sense you constantly around me in our children and in three princesses. I love you.

Rest in peace mom and dad, I love you more than words can describe.

Left the game at 1:45 pm, June 28, 2010. Rest in peace. Life will be empty without you. I love you.

The delete will most likely be taking a break from fighting the “good” fight for some time. More to come probably later than sooner. Until the next time, COURAGE.

One must always prepare for the coming robot war. Until next time, COURAGE.

The black metal theme continues. I shall be expanding this into both pencil and watercolor format.

Well, we all know religion….or wait, do we? I don’t care, but thought the following headline and story was great, Enjoy:
