Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t usually share something like this. But my cousin had a medical emergency brain bleed and has been hospitalized the last 2 days. He’s close to unresponsive, but after his surgery yesterday, the doctors are hopeful he might be OK.

I grew up with him, so he’s really close family. If he ends up passing away from this, it won’t only devastate my family, but he’ll be leaving behind 4 kids, all under the age of 18.

He’s been struggling with unemployment and bills the last few years after a contentious divorce (which I won’t get into really, but know that even as we speak, his ex was removed from the hospital and is possibly not going to let her kids see him if he passes away). Finances and employment have raised his stress and blood pressure over time, which is where we find ourselves now.

Don’t feel pressured to donate if you don’t want to or cannot, but just know my family is trying to pay his bills while he’s been admitted into hospital. We’re trying to keep our heads afloat.

I set up a donation page, if any of you want to help our family out in his really hard time, much love and appreciate to y’all. Stay safe out there. You never know what could happen to a loved one : (

Appreciate all who’ve donated or sent thoughts/prayers for my family. I will delete this sometime next week, I’m sure. 

His girlfriend and her son no longer have him to help provide, so I’ll leave the fundraiser up for another week or so, for anyone who would want to generously donate. They have a high mortgage rn, and with Randy passing soon, I’m trying to give them some buffer money as they figure out where to go from here.

Thank you to all who have read, supported, and enjoyed the comic through this long, emotional journey! I’ve met the kindest people in the Samdom over the years, and wouldn’t trade any of it for anything.

I hope to see SaM celebrate a few more anniversaries in the future!

He feels like his own soul has been sucked out of him and wrung out, trampled under the hundreds of thousands trapped within him, and shoved back into his body, too withered and limp to fill the space as it used to. He twitches a finger, and his entire body shudders with the phantom sensation of being torn wide open, and he feels like he’s going to be sick, and he feels feel the salty stickiness of his own tears leaving tracks through the grime from where his face is shoved in the dirt—but he can move on his own, and the blood rushing in his head is quieting enough that he can hear Michael’s voice, even if he sounds like he’s a mile away.

Happy Valentines Day! Here’s an old piece from my Patreon <3
