To all Starshippers,
I know I’ve not been as active as I should have recently, but I’ve really,
really been trying. I’ve been reading the groups and participating with player
action emails, but life has just hit me in the nose with a rather fast
fastball---and it hurts, badly.
I’d like to offically announce my temporary hiatus from Starship in general. If
you’d like to read why, read on, otherwise, skip to the next section.
On Wednesday, February 25, I stayed out of school from asthma and sore throat,
among other things. Asthma is a big problem with me, thus impacts my life. But
then Thursday and Friday my health declined and after being sent to the
emergency room once or twice, was deemed healthy to return to school on Monday,
March 1.
I did not go to school on March 1. Instead, that evening, I went to the same
emergency room and a few hours later, I was laying in the local children’s
hospital with a breath mask and an IV.
I’ve been released this morning of March 4 after having been noted as on my way
to healing. But this week was bad for me, because A) my dad had surgery
yesterday on his (of all things) nose and B) my grandmother was admitted to the
hospital Mondayish for dehydration.
Now, you’d think I could return, and I thought so too, but I share too much of a
bond with my grandmother that I cannot strech it this much. Fate calls upon me
to help my grandmother in any way possible, even if by simple prayer. And I
intend to pray.
So, if you read that, that’s why I’m gone for a while. And I’m sorry I just
layed down so much upon you, but I felt it nesecary to tell my friends of this.
I leave with one request until my return; pray for my grandmother. Please. If
your religion asks you to pray for one another, please pray for her. It may
only be simple dehydration, but I cannot withstand the pain of thinking of my
grandmother being stuck in a nursing home for two weeks after I pledged never to
let that happen.
With apologies for such a long, irrelevant post and probably FUTted incorrectly,
-Dan

| (...) Sure, Dan. That's perfectly fine. Please know that we support you all the way. I know I will pray for your grandmother (and your dad, and your asthma, and other bumps and bruises), and I hope everyone else does, too. Family is very important, (...)
