Description This may explain the lack of content from me this year.  There are far more important things in life than social media drama.  I have not engaged in any of it because my family is the most important thing to me.  I have tried to keep up with work, but when you know a relative is near death, and they've been through hell the last few years of their life, creativity becomes a lot harder to tap into.  This is my little goodbye to my granny ray, who died in April 2019.  She was a double amputee for the last 5 years of her life due to diabetes and other complications.  She became wheelchair and housebound the last two years of her life until we moved her to a nursing home last year to get the care she needed that we could not provide.  She was pretty much blind and deaf.  The last time I saw her was a week before she died.

She didn't remember who I was.

I didn't want to draw a sad picture, or rather, I didn't want to draw a character being sad.  I decided to draw my main character Maddy, crying but smiling while holding a pink tulip, which was Granny Ray's favorite flower.

Bye, Granny Ray.  You were such a Soldier.

My deepest prayers go out to you and your family hon. I had also lost my grandma in April a long time ago.

Your Gran was a fighter and I bet she was very proud of you. Take plenty of time to heal and don't let anything try to stress you any further. 

May peace be with you and your family and may you receive many thoughtful prayers wherever you may go.

My full condolences to you Maddy.  I hope you can find peace knowing that we are all here for you and admire you for sharing your loss.  I know the feeling of losing my Great-Grandmother, a survivor of both Mussolini and Hitler's tyranny, it devastated me.  But love of my family and friends got me through.  God Bless you Maddy and peace be with you this Easter season.

I feel really bad for you!  It’s extremely hard when someone you love very much passes away.  Hopefully, she’s excepted Jesus into her heart before she died.  That way you’ll know she will be in heaven.  My condolences go to you and your family.

I think it's actually pretty cool that you did a piece like this celebrating her. I have always found the easiest way to handle death is with laughter. Because you can get no where with sadness.

Though she may be no longer with us, her spirit lives on through those who carry her memory.
I'm sure she'd be so proud of you for being an inspiration to countless artists.
There are few words to describe the simultaneous heartache and relief of a relative dying after a long-fought battle for their life, but I hope she and your family are at peace, and that you continue to Stay Creative

I know how it feels. I lost 2 grandpas in a timespan of 1year, and i'm still not over it.
But then i realized, that no matter where you are or how bad it is, just know that your friend are there for you. Online on the other side of the globe and nearby.

By reading this, i feel like i'm standing right next to you, sharing your pain, so that you aren't the only one who's feeling it.

Mad--Munchkin In reply to JasperPie [2019-04-20 18:22:22 +0000 UTC]

She was always brutally honest with me.  She was the one that said to me when I was working in retail; 'Youre waisting your life.  You're an artist, not a shop keeper.'  Glad I listened to her.
