I am crying as I type this, so bear with my grammatical mistakes,

I have just found out that my great grandmother (who is in her late 90's) is not doing well at all. Granted she has been bedridden for the last several years, but she still had life in her eyes and was still shoving $20 dollar bills in our pockets when no one was looking like she had since as far back as I can remember. I love my great grandmother so much, although she never could speak very good english and spoke mostly french, I could understand most of what she said in french thanks to many long years of my grandmother and my mom translating what she said. Any time we went to her house she had sodas and treats waiting for me my brother and sister. It was hard enough when my great grandfather (her husband) passed away when I was 10. She carried on with playing checkers with us like he did and was the best great grandmother anyone could be at her age. Even at her age now she is the best great grandmother ever. But today I have found out that she is no longer eating anything or drinking anything and is being given fluids intravenously just so her kidneys do not fail. So all in all we have no idea how much longer she will be with us. I have to be ready at a moments notice to leave and take the almost 7 hour trip when she passes. We were not planning to make this trip until october for my sons birthday, so that we had the money saved up from what was left over of my school funds. But it looks like we are going to have to take the trip sooner than expected.

So those of you that won the raffle, I will have to put your art on hold for a little while so I can focus on commissions to get the money to go to her and get the extra items needed that we need to take with us.

If any of you that know someone that needs a commission done, send them to me please. I need all in all about $300 + to make this trip. And an extra $50 - $100 for a play pen so my son has somewhere to sleep when we get there. I will be posting several YCH's within the week and even if you cannot bid, I ask you kindly to advertise them. Thank you in advance.

I am going to go curl up into a ball and go cry now.
