Happy holidays in troubling times

I truly meant to make a post christmas. However, my plans went sideways due to an incident on the 23rd.

My wife went to the clinic for a treatment. But my wife had a reaction to a medication she was taking. She was assisted on the site but that meant she had to be put on observation for a few hours, so she was sent to the ER. Due to the lock-down protocols it meant that I wasn't allowed to be with her and she was alone in there. When I picked her up she was very distressed by what she saw, which was the ER filled with patients crying in pain and some already dead from the virus. She is pretty much suffering from PTSD as she is having nightmares from the experience.

This also meant we did not go home to our families for Christmas. But as if that wasn’t enough, my wife's grandma suffered a minor heart attack on Christmas night. She is fine, but it has put a damper on the holidays for the entire family.

To say this situation has been nothing but nerve wrecking would be an understatement. I've been trying to draw again but i am a nervous wreck, can't keep my hand still. Guess it will be a gradual process that I'll have to deal with.

I have to believe that all this happened for a reason. Maybe I say that to feel better about the situation, maybe to learn something. But I can impart something to you: I hope you enjoy and treasure your good times this season, cause even if they're bad, they could be worse.

Merry christmas guys
