So quick little update, i just recently lost a family member in my immediate family, my best friend and my own flesh and blood. It has completely torn me and shattered my heart and so i took a little break from making novel chapters. I just couldn't bring myself to do anything, and a lot of things started to pile up on me. 

But I know deep down that my loved one would've wanted me to overcome and better myself. She wouldn't have wanted me to wallow in misery forever, so i decided to keep pushing forward holding her memory close to me. She has become my strength and my very reason to move forward! 

And thus, I still want to complete this novel before the deadline in hopes of making at least semi-finalists. So I started the next chapter and got pretty far, I will try to finish it by the end of the week! Imma try to make these last few 2-3 chapters worth it!

Thank you my precious Aksana, you made me the happiest Dad in the world and I will always remember the few months we had! All the laughs, sleepless nights, food memories, and your lovely and bright smile. My favorite memories will be when we brought you home, and when I would see your beaming face first thing when I got off work!

Every moment we spent will always be in my heart, and it has truly changed me. And it will keep changing me for the better! Even as I write through these tears, I will continue on for you. 

Thank you thank you thank you!

Please rest in peace my precious angel Aksana, I will always remember and love you! <3
