First off, I would like to apologies for my unwarranted leave of absence which has unexpectedly kept me from communicating with you all for for such an extended period of time.   Recently things have been rather stressful in a number of ways, with some occurrences leaving a rather distraught feeling which can feel overwhelming at times.   Along with facing a rather intense workload, I've had the unfortunate discomfort of experiencing the loss of a close friend who I had recently bonded with.   Initially an acquaintance I met here who eventually became close enough to be considered a family member passed away early last month. :iconcountlea
