Ladies and gentlemen, boys n girls, and my favorite minions,
I write this with a heavy heart as this will probably be the last
entry I post for a while. I was informed moments ago that my father's cancer has
spread to his abdomen and it is probably inevitable that he will be dying soon.
Months, maybe weeks. This holiday season will probably be the last one I have
with him and I am pretty devastated at the moment. When his passing occurs I
will be in a worse emotional state than I am right now and I do not think I will
have it in me to write new entries for a long while.
I have purchased this diaryland page for up to two years, so I don't
think this web site will be going anywhere. You all will still be able to read
past entries and this site should still be here when I finally find the strength
to pull myself through this and start writing again.
I also will probably be shutting down my email address by the end of
the month and staying offline a lot around that same time. It all depends on
what happens with him and how it'll effect myself and my family.
I'd like to take a moment to thank some people for putting up with my
shit and still being my friend even though I'm one weird fucker:
Brad Trollinger, Shanea Toney, Kat Rogers, Shellby and Shasta, Rev.
Steven Johnson Leyba, Luis Cantero Jr, Gordon and Kat Little, James Fremont,
Sherri Telnes, Erica Cornine, Nicole McGreggor, Athena Garcia, Jodi Sadler,
Melody Peterson, Dana and Thunder, and of course my Mom and Dad, both of whom
mean the absolute world to me.
I wish you all, and all my readers (even those who hate my site), the
very best and I hope you have a Happy New Year. And remember, don't sweat the
small stuff. You never know when it's your time to go.
Yours truly,
Atheist Diary
