*Sighs very heavily*  I wish that there was an easier way to say this but... I am going to have to take a break from the game... and it may be indefinite.<br/><br/>Unfortunately.... My mom passed away earlier this evening and I am still numb and in shock over it.  The emotional things may hit me like a ton of bricks later on but also, because I lived with her... I not only have to go through her stuff but find another place to live.<br/><br/>I don't know when I am coming back... or if I can come back.  I'll still be around to check up on things but there is not going to be any way that I can post for a while.<br/><br/>I hope that I can come back.  Until then... I'll keep an eye on things from afar.<br/><br/>*Retreats into her top perch with her flames only slightly lit as she grieves*
