Something Dear to Me · 1:58am Dec 31st, 2017
Right now, there is a collab in the Featured Box that I contributed to. It does cover a sensitive topic and one I had to deal with very recently.
Two weeks ago, my grandfather passed away after a year of medical struggles. Although he made it to the ripe age of 80 and had a good long life, it still stings me as I watched him deteriorate rapidly. I got to at least play saxophone for him two days before he died, so that's a huge plus. But watching him wither away did a number on me mentally, especially since he spent much of his last week in my house (thankfully he didn't die here).
This was the first time I ever dealt with someone dying like this and it made me confused and hurt. So, I helped bring those emotions with me into the part that I wrote. Being able to express those emotions in writing has done a great deal to help me and I'm so glad I was able to do that.
I hope you all enjoy the collab, and to those who worked on it with me and let me contribute, thank you. Thank you so very much.

Was awesome writing alongside you dude, legit.
Your contribution to the collab was one of them that felt so raw, so real, that it brought me to tears. I'm glad I sought out the rest of the story, and I'm sorry for your loss.
Please, do keep writing. I look forward to reading more of your works in the future.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad that I was able to get my pain across on paper. It took a lot out of me to write that and your comment really means a lot.
