I know, it's lame to give you excuses for my absence after such a long ghosting period, but I wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten. I've just kinda hit a rough patch. 

Back in May, this world lost a retired Marine, my father, to brain cancer. This happened exactly one week before I started medical school. Since then, I've thrown my entire-self into school and family. I miss writing terribly, but I'm honestly still struggling and may need a bit more time.
