Post subject:  Leave of Absence

I don't know whether anyone has noticed, but I've been silent for quite a while now, and this evening I felt like coming back here with an explanation. Since March, my brother and I have been dealing with the sudden and totally unexpected death of our mother. I'm not sure how much to say about it here. Well, a lot has been going on - emotionally and practically - but here we are still, and the road does seem to be smoothing out for me now.

My involvement with this community seemed to be depleting anyway, so I don't know how active I'm going to be here from now on. I'm not saying I'm going to disappear forever now; nor am I saying I'll be here posting constantly. We shall see.

A lot of bad things have been happening this year, on a larger scale than my tragedy. Most recently, for those of you who have had to suffer the wrath of Hurricane Irene to any degree, my heart goes out to you.

What a downer this post is! Please be assured that I haven't turned into a miserable wreck. If my mother taught me anything, it was how to laugh, and if I ever stop doing that... well, I won't - and I'm sure I'll be back here a few more times at least, with some less depressing things to say.

Love to all my pals out there.

I'd noticed you'd been absent, but I know these things happen. This is just a silly site devoted to fictional characters and a fictional word (or more accurately, a customized version of a fictional world). It's meaningless. Real Life wins ever time. I just hoped your absence wouldn't be because of something so bad.

I wish I could come up with something more meaningful than "You have my sympathies and best wishes", but I can't seem to, no matter how hard I try.

But you do have my sympathies and best wishes.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. The bad feelings are never really going to go away, but almost six months after the event, the wounds are no longer raw and I feel pretty much like a human being again. Seems I'm even back here ranting about the old Ghostbusters III thing.

I am so sorry about your mother. Time heals all wounds but on this one it takes time. Just remember that she will always be with you in your heart. Again I'm sorry. :(
