Why I am taking so long. · 4:13am Sep 19th, 2012
I apologize to the (what) twelve of you that are watching me, I'm still writing, slowly. I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting this. Just dealing with shit right now, parents still in the hospital, (doing a lot better) still taking care of three kids and cleaning all the messes they make. I swear, just when everything is looking up you hear something that just fucking kills you.
I was talking with a friend of mine the other day, we were having an argument. After the argument calmed down we started talking, she was talking about being quite stressed at her place. I thought she was referring to all the hectic stuff going on, what with moving all sorts of stuff in and around her house, her mother staying with her and bring all her possessions while she finds a new place to live (because looking around before selling your house is crazy lol) I asked what was stressing her out, she then mentioned her husband (a rather close friend of mine) is slowly dying. Lou Garrets disease.
He has somewhere between 2-5 years to live. I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a child, first time I've shed a tear in almost a decade. I know you guys don't know him, shit, 99.9% of you probably never will. I think the thought that someone I've known for most of my life is dying is killing me that and the fact he isn't even out of his forties, combine that with the fact both of his parents are still alive and may quite possibly outlive him, is really shitty.
I know these might not be the greatest excuses, I am still typing whenever I get the chance, and again I'm not sure why I'm typing this. I guess some might call it venting, I guess that is partially true, I just want to let those loyal few know that I'm still working, if all goes to plan I should have chapters for both 'The First Battle for Equestria' and 'Wolfgang: Savior or Destroyer?' up sometime next week. And now I ask myself if anyone is going to read this, I guess it doesn't really matter, at least if someone comments 'what's taking so long?' I can direct them here.
Have a great night everyone.
Until next time;

I can understand how you feel in some ways. Hell, nobody will understand fully. I lost my father to cancer when I was seven. It hurts to have somebody close to you, lost. Also, remember that crying is not a bad thing. A full day for me is one where you smile, where you laugh, and when you cry. And the fact that I don't even know your friend, I still got a tear in my eye when you said he has Lou Garrets disease. Even when times are tough, remember to stay positive, and look to a brighter future. I hope your situation gets better for you, and I defiantly feel for you.
