I'll keep this brief: a few weeks ago, my Mom had a stroke. A week ago, she passed away. I've spent a lot of time at the hospital, sitting quietly, waiting, sometimes talking, wondering if she heard me, sometimes just reading quietly. It was a little like my Mothers Day 2013 comic, except, at that time, she was just recuperating from, let's just say, illnesses related to age.
I have wanted to keep my mind occupied, but regular comics just weren't going to happen. I'd like to have a couple done before I start posting them again, rather than proceeding if fits and starts. I need to move on and keep doing what I was doing and what I like doing.
Mom would have wanted me to do that.
Take your time, Chris. Take care of yourself, and the pain you are dealing with. We can get along without you for a while, so you can adjust to your new situation. And you have my sincere condolences. I remember what I went through when my Dad died unexpectedly in'83. My Mom still sometimes has trouble on the anniversary of his death.
