Art Do I... even love you?
This artpiece has a bit of personal meaning but honestly I don't have it in me to write anything down right now haha.
To be honest today, not only did my mom's cancer get confirmed worse, but just like a curse a tree fell and hit our house and broke a window, amongst other things. And my Healthcare got removed! Ahaha...
Genuinely the worst day ever <:) everything is genuinely spinning but there are responsibilities I still have and I need to get it together for my father.
Things seem doomed currently but I must persist. I am not sure how around I will be.
Love you all.

Damn, I'm sorry Ryu. I've been through cancer news with both my parents, and it just sucks. Stay strong, but don't feel bad if you get overwhelmed, nobody can get through stuff like that unscathed. Hoping things turn around for you both.

I'm really sorry, Ryu...
I hope your mom turns around for the better and I hope you can get healthcare coverage sorted out for the both of you. No one should ever have to deal with worries like that when taking care of a loved one, and I'm very sorry. For what it's worth, this Internet stranger is proud of you for fighting so hard for your family. If there's anyone who can do this, it's you 🫂♥️

I'm so sorry
The hardest thing you can go through is watching somebody that you've known for your whole life, and have loved forever, go through this.
But as somebody who's went through something similar, I just want to say, please don't put yourself too much aside. You deserve love just as much as your mother or anybody else you know.
Even after everything is through, no matter what happens, you are still you.

Dear Lord.
That is terrible. I hope your mother survives (but knowing the circumstances I doubt she won’t).
Whether or not she does or doesn’t, I just hope you’ll be fine in the end. Hearing about your family member, especially a much loved one, having their cancer worsen, is truly a curse. Prayers to you.

I'm so sorry... I've heard those dreaded words before. Cancer's the worst thing. Life beats the best, most undeserving people down.
But we're here for you. Please stay strong for her sake and everyone's. Thoughts and prayers 🙏

I dont really know what to say, this reminds me of something similar that I have gone through 3-4 years ago and I know the feeling. My younger me at the time wasn't really informed much about my mother's condition and so me and my brother just lived our lives worrying about school while my father and relatives took care of her somewhere far. I hope this isn't the last time I see you, I've always loved my interactions with you, your art, your reactions and comments.. I will always treasure them as you have given me these new joy and feelings I have never known existed. I hope things will get better. Wish you the very best ryu.

I'm with you, precious dragon. My mother passed away 11 days ago to cancer. Degraded very quickly, basically one week and we couldn't have a conversation till she passed.
Be with her, don't forget to tell you love her. I hope for the best, and yes, we must persist. We love the memories we did with the loved ones. Sometimes I wish we could do more and it hurts.
Persist. Love. Be around. In the end, everything will be okay, whatever the future holds, it will be okay.

I'm sorry your situation has turned into such a herculean mess. The suggestion I can give is to write down all the tasks that need doing and prioritize. Help find any house insurance information, find your SSC (or applicable ID) number (if you don't know it) and apply for Medicare (or applicable healthcare). Remember to eat something (even if its not healthy), you'll need the energy. You are going through a lot right now, I believe you can get through it!

I hope your situation gets better, Ryukiri. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but it takes a lot of strength to talk about it. Know you’re not alone, and we’ll listen if you need it.

You gotta love insurance systems deciding that someone can’t afford to live anymore because of profit margins.
Really pretty brush though, I love it!

I'm so sorry you're going through this Ryu. It's gotta so scary to dealing with so much at once. I really hope you're able to take some time to be with your family and be able to shower them in love and get that in return. Take care of yourself <3
