Salutations,
If you followed very closely with this site and my YouTube profile, the ups and downs in the relationship with Sherry. We’ve called the relationship many things, but we’d been together since 2003. Over a year ago, in 2019, what her mother and I thought was a stroke, turned out to be a brain tumor about the size of a baseball.
The emergency surgery was a miracle. But, she refused to follow up with radiation or chemotherapy. Worse, I had been told that the tumor did not originate from the head, but instead came from somewhere else. Sherry would deny she had cancer. Anyone who pressed the matter was a fool, myself included.
Rationality will not save us. The reason for her choices, such as fear, manipulation, or insanity, are irrelevant.
We got a year out of it before her health dived south. What started out as a back problem turned into no mobility from the waist down. By September, with paramedics begging her to agree, she had to be taken to the hospital. Sherry was here at home with hospice care when she past away this October.
That pulled a lynch pin, for a crushing amount of change that will occur. PR clients will continue to receive service. Other gigs will have to be put aside.
On a brighter note, this may be a chance for the artwork to continue and even progress. I’m writing this within a week of her passing. DomCon Virtual NOLA is a go for Halloween weekend. My plan is to be there. With greater luck, I’ll have more news from the PR side.
Best wishes always,
Jay
