Tomas Elliot Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Ok so, here is the thing: my grandfather is quite literally about to die. Honestly, I am not that upset about it, it's not a tragedy or anything: he is over 90, his body is simply switching off, slowly but steadly. It is something inevitable, eventually destined to happen to everybody. So yeah, I am fine, I really am. However, this does mean that, tomorrow afternoon, I will have to go back to my hometown, so that I can be there for my family as he lives his final moments. And it just so happens that this sudden trip back of mine will overlap with Easter holydays, which I would have had to spend with my family regardless. As a result, I will be in my hometown from tomorrow until monday, march the 28th. Now for those who don't know, being in my hometown is really problematic for me: my family is a really invasive one (and given the circumstances, this time they are gonna be even more so), they disapprove of everything japanese (meaning, they don't know of my activities here, and it is in my best interest to keep the from finding out) and, on top of that, internet connection in my hometown is very very very VERY bad. Therefore, my activity around here will be drastically limited until I return in Bologna, next monday in the evening. I will do my very best to show up daily, to keep up to date with what is going on in this forum (so yeah, Se7en staffers please don't slack off too much, we JUST managed to get back on track, if you use this as an excuse to stall the project again I swear), and I will try my hardest to post regularly, so that the aforementioned slackers feel my presence and keep on working. It is basically my usual absence for week-end in hometown, except much longer and sadder. Again, you needn't worry about me, my life will be back to normal come next monday. So yeah, just cut me some slack until then, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 oh dear. that sounds like a sucky way to spend easter, but i do hope your family can be nice despise the questionable life choice of not digging the Japanese? let 'em know your definitely 100% straight, wholesome and western internet friends are having prayer circles here on biblecamp reborn regardless. death sucks, good luck with all.

He is peacefully, slowly fading away, no suffering, no ilness, nothing. Just time taking its toll. So yeah, I can only repeat: you guys needn't worry about me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My condolences for your grandfather, and my best wishes for a happy Easter. Keep it up, pal. I'll try not to slack off in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Guess that's as natural as a death gets, hmm? Considering everything that can lead to death, I'd classify this as a "happy" death, if such a thing exists. You have my condolences though. Not as much for your Grandfather, since you're pretty okay with it, but more for the fact that you're going to see your family again, and I've seen how you describe them around here. Yeah, looks like you're going to have a "fun" time. Good luck and early happy easter o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exalted Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 my sincere condolences for you grandfather but seeing as he is still kicking(if i read it right) i pray he runs through another 10 years and completes that century(Sorry if that sounded impolite) hope you feel better and come back soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumble Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Oh, sorry to hear about your grandfather slowly passing away... See you, later, Tomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My condolences. Even though you are okay with it now, do not get surprised if you get too emotional once you get there. It's perfectly normal. I suppose your invasive family will turn your grief into annoyance and slight anger, so for once they may actually do some good to you, given the circumstances. I fully support this break of yours, but you wish to stay productive, take some work back home with you, some that does not need much internet. I believe the best gift the other Se7en members could do is to release the beta while you are away. However, this seems improbable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Elliot Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I believe the best gift the other Se7en members could do is to release the beta while you are away. However, this seems improbable. This is absolutely out of question. Azery solved his own issues literally 48 hours ago, you cannot possibly expect him to suddenly go from "fixing last month's mess" to "releasing Ep 2" in less than a week. If they just work up and show steady progress, I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Elliot Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Ok I am back in Bologna. Although, grandpa is technically still alive: itis unknown if he will last a year, a month or a day, so yeah, when he does die I will have to go back on little notice. I apologize in advance for that. And a heartfelt thank you to all those who posted here, it means a lot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
