Back Again

Hello, loyal members!

I am so terribly sorry for my terribly long absence . . . I had a fairly severe health crisis that took a rather bad turn, and actually ended up being told I was dying. . . I didn't handle it well, a fact I am ashamed of. I sort of just got locked inside myself. . .

The brief explanation is that I was born with cardiac issues that have followed me my entire life and recently just got very, very bad. After multiple tests, I finally got in to a cardiologist who told me "you had to know this was coming" and that I should get used to constantly passing out, feeling like death, and a list of other issues. After being told this, I shut down. But after discussing things, I realized I cannot do that. I cannot just give up.

Now, I have made a mess of things I know we had a lot of members leave, and my very dedicated, VERY over-worked co-owner ended up running things well beyond what she should have had to do For that, I will forever be sorry, I so deeply regret abandoning this group when things got tough, especially when I could have come in and explained what was going on. There's no excuse.

From now on, I am leaving Deviantart open on my browser, so every time I open it, I have to see it and remind myself that I have responsibilities and people who stick by, trusting and waiting to hear from me, even when being told the group was closing (something I wasn't aware of, BUT AGAIN . . . I wasn't around. My co-owner did what she thought was best for the members).

Thank you or your loyalty, I will do my best to earn it!
