This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
We got this text from our Dad: The VA called this morning turns out I do have lung cancer, they have me scheduled for a barrage of test to see how severe it is & then they can formulate a plan of attack. They're trying to get me to my 78th birthday. lol What ever happens the greatest title bestowed on me was "dad". It's been my honor to be called that by you 3. As I know more I'll let you know.
Sorry to hear. Waiting to learn more can be the hardest part. For what it's worth, this internet stranger is hoping that it's one of the more easily treatable forms.
Please be kind to yourself, and try to be kind to your family members (without taking any egregious bullshit from them). This may bring out sides of them that they hadn't shown before.
One of the hardest things if this drags on will be allowing yourself to live like normal. You can't live your life just waiting for the call that things have taken a turn for the worse, but you also can't ignore what's going on. It's a fine line. I wish I could offer better advice, but you'll have to find the balance that works for you and that you can sleep at night with.
Just... good luck.
Thank you! I enjoyed reading this, good advice. I'll keep your pointers in mind.

Sorry for the bad news. Had a family member diagnosed with stomach cancer recently. It puts a shadow over things.
