As many of you may know, I am not a very chatty person on here when it comes to talking/sharing about my personal life, as that is because I am a private person. I only feel comfortable to share to those I have gotten to know alittle about beforehand. I have met some lovely people off DA that I now chat with on Skype and I feel okay talking to them about issues or achievements etc in my life.

That is just the type of person I am, if you want to get to know more about me feel free to always approach me, I am always up to making new friends!


So back to the actual point of this journal. I wasn't going to post this but a good friend made a valid point to try and share some important events that affect me, so here goes:.






This is my Step Dad. As of December last year he's been in hospital due to an accident causing damage to his neck and spine, resulting him to be paralysed from the upper chest down. He will never walk again, and it is very unlikely he will move his hands, small movement can be made in his arms but again, very little.

I don't live in the same town as him and my mum so I rely solely upon updates from facebook or phone calls from my mum. We remain positive and try to keep life close to how it was and treat my SD the same as if nothing has happened. To be depressed will only make him more so and struggle to accept his new life.

My distraction and reason for lack of DA uploads recently is because I am fretting constantly over my mum. Lately she has become very exhausted from driving to and fro from the hospital to see him to keep him company, help wash, feed him and get him in and out of the wheel chair and his bed. Mum is exhasted from all of this and the worry comes from her having to drive home - which takes about an hour - and that something will happen to her.

Some weeks she is able to stay at the hospital saving her from driving, but that is only when there are rooms available! Those days I am okay to work on art as you may gather! Right now mum is forced to drive, and it's becoming very hard on her.

But! It is only for a few more weeks as my SD can finally go home, and mum can arrange carers to come in and help so they can return to being husband and wife, not carer and patient.

I am sure all of you know how hard it is to concentrate on projects etc when a loved one is in a bad way or recovering from medical ordeals, so please bare with me! I aim to be back in full swing in the next month!

Thank you~ <3
