We ran into an issue this month that kind of through me off my normal routine and I had to put things aside for a short time in order to get myself back together.
We lost my father unexpectedly on the 10th of August. He was young and the last person I ever expected to lose in my life. In fact, I really didn't expect that day to come until after another 40 years down the road so I was anything but prepared to deal with the trauma that followed....
From day one of losing him, the only thing I was able to continue doing was packaging up my cell phone cases and sending them out in the mail as they were ordered... and let me tell you, even that was hard to do at times. I wasn't able to respond to messages for another week following and now here I am, almost month later, finally posting here on my Artsy Cases blog again.
It's been a very rough road and one I, thankfully but sadly, didn't have to walk alone as my fiance had just lost his own father two years previous. But I am back and have lots of updates that need to be posted. My father wouldn't want me to stop Artsy Cell Cases on account of losing him. In fact, whenever I would get a new shipment of cases, I was always so proud to show him them and I would have him help me decide what cases I should get next. So, I have to keep Artsy Cases alive in honor of him now.
I miss him every day and my family and I wish we could turn back time to bring him back but we know I cannot so we need to keep living our lives for him now and keep him alive in our memories and all the good times we had.
