I just thought I'd come by and say... Normally, with most kinds of things like these. i wouldn't bother. But in a place like this, a community that prides itself on showing the same qualities as the show its fandom is based around, i feel it's a bit appropriate to share a bit of hard news that has hit me and my family. I hope you all understand that I share this because it makes me feel better, and may help a lot of you stay safe. My father, one of the people I've always been closest to in my life, has been in a tragic car accident these past few hours. Unfortunately, it was fatal, and took the life of both my father, and my step-mother. I don't post this in the hopes of getting attention, or to make anyone sorry for me. I post this because it comforts me a bit, you could say. Because I know the type of people I'm sharing it with. Please. I care for my fellow men and women. Please always be safe. We may be almost strangers in a sense, but I still care."}
