Sorry for not doing this sooner.Up till now,I've been more busy than anyone knows.

I'm a lot better.Been taking things day by day and as they come.Nearly done with getting it all settled.All I got left is the last bank account my dad had and then I'll be off to go get a mortgage so I can buy my home from my mom.It'd be great if she could just give it to me but if she does,she loses the aid that pays for her long term care.Soooo I'll be paying a mortgage sometime soon. Sucks but I got no choice.But no matter what,I still miss him. It's not the same without him.My dad wasn't just my dad.He was definitely my best friend.He's got his 76th birthday coming up and I got plans to do some white roses for his grave.I think he'd really like that.

To those of you I call sister:
I love you all more than you know.You've helped me make it through some rough times lately.But one of you has remained silent.But to that one I say that I still love you and your brother will always be here if and whenever you need me okay Angel?

To my GodDaughters:
I love you all just like you were my own.You all mean more to me than you could know.I love you dear ones.With ALL my heart.

Now for some good news.I have seen many groups here on DA.I've been in groups,in one capacity or another,ever since I came to DA well over 3 years ago.So many out there and contain some truly wonderful art and photos.But one common thing I've noticed is this.There's not one out there I've seen that gives total freedom to it's members to submit anything they want to.Regardless of what the deviation is.There's probably one or two that may make that claim but they still allow censorship to reign supreme.Allowing all but one or two things that they consider "offensive" like anything sexual in nature or erotic.I say enough is enough! If you're gonna have a group that claims to allow anything in it,you need to mean that and have it to pertain to everything on DA,not just what they personally feel is acceptable.So my hope is that all of you who watch me,as well as my friends,will come join me in a true sanctuary for artists and photographers.The group is called TrueArtSanctuary.It's new and in it's infancy for the moment.So look for invites soon or come request membership too.I will need some good,motivated admins as well.So applications for admins for it is definitely open.So here's how you find this new and hopefully the best group that will be on DA.You can also find the link to it off of my profile as well.Hope to see all of you there.
