Dear friends, I'm sorry if the next page will be a bit late, I'd like to tell you what happenned in the last month. My mother-in-law had a cancer and yesterday underwent surgery successfully. Sadly, of course, she received a mutilation, but what matters is to survive.
My mother-in-law is a lonely woman, with no husband, Marco is a lone child and has lost all the grandparents. Therefore I and Marco were the only ones who took care of her during chemiotherapy and this week, in which she was hospitalized for the surgery, we had to stay always in the hospital. So we had to skip meals and sleep and the work was adversely affected. -_-
Yesterday everything ended for the best, thank God. Marco is relieved and we can resume our activities with serenity.
She'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days, but the worst is over.
Concerning PBB in this moment I finished the inks of the new pages, which means that I'll need at least three days for the coloring. But since all the extra for the festivities, that slowed me down, are finally over (X-Mas, Thanksgiving, Valenine's Day, Birthday, St. Patty... ) and the cover for Easter will be drawn by M.Lock finally I'll be able to catch up (the extras distract me and make me lose time even if they're always pleasant surprises, but when I do them the comic's pages are adversely affected because at times I can't do two things in a week) .
Believe me, this delay weighed a lot on me and I was worried and stressed, since I care about taking care of my commitments.
So from today I'll draw only the comic and the Royal Members until I've caught up, since I know that the comic is the main reason for which you're there and that you love the most.
Smile

Thanks.

That is good news to hear, sounded hard to get through though. Delays are no problem in matters of family.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but greatly happy to know the worst is behind and that things are looking up. I know how it feels, I've lost family members and many friends to cancer itself so I understand the grief you're going through. My best wishes.

And love your work and story, take your time, life comes first.

Don't worry, we still love you! Very Happy

Thank goodness Marco's Mother (your mother-in-law) is a cancer survivor. Smile

It does sound a stressful road you and Marco had gone through, but in the end, your mother-in-law is okay, even if she has to stay in hospital, the worse is over. :3

Though I do hope you and Mr. Marco are resting and eating properly. Yours and Marco's health comes first. :3

When in matters of family and other business, family will always come first no matter what!

Like some people might say, there always comes a rainbow even after the greatest of storms!

Sorrow or pain are not eternal! Wink

And also always remember to take good care of yourself as well as others!
