Did you ever lose someone you thought would always be there? That's what happened to my mom. She was diagnosed with cancer, and a year later she was gone. Sometimes I worry that I took her for granted. I hope she never felt that way; I hope she knew I loved her. I didn't know I would miss her this much, and if I'm feeling this way now, I can't imagine how my dad feels. It's been two months, but it does not feel like it's been that long. I know I'll see her again in Heaven, but that's a long time from now...well maybe...you never know do you? I guess that's my point--enjoy the time you have with someone; dont wish time away, and don't take anyone for granted.

Library Demos
Last week I did four illustration presentations for the Northwest Georgia Regional Library System. I showed the kids illustrations from my book Samuel Shootingstar and then taught them to draw their own aliens based on sea creatures! We had a lot of fun at each of the four locations I visited. The library featured me in a short interview in the Dalton newspaper. You can go to libraryfeature.adamsanford.com if you want to read it!

artists always have something to say
I really don't have anything to say....
First Journal First Baby
Well, I've never posted anything in my journal before, which is fine because I have no watchers. That being said, I'd still like to give it a go. Maybe someday somebody will read this, and if not I will read it...or...not. Anyway three weeks ago my wife gave birth to our first baby. IT'S A BOY!!! I love being a daddy, even during the 3 AM feedings and diaper changes. I did not realize I could love a stranger as much as I do my new son.I've also found that I love my wife even more through this special event we've created together.Well, that was fun...

You loved your mother very much, I can see it through your words here. I'm a mom and speaking from that point of view, I'm sure she never felt that way about you. It's a natural thing for parents and their to have misunderstandings and feeling of anger or, "what is going on?!?!?!?" - but my point is, even in those times, moms never think stuff like that. I hope you can someday recognize how much she loves you, now from the Heavens. The way you write about her gives me a strong feeling about your relationship with her. A good feeling.
They say time heals all wounds, I don't believe that to be so... it will take time and you have to deal with many more emotions before you can come to terms with your loss. Your dad, he will need some amount of time as well. As long as you two can be there for each other, you two will be o.k.
It's going to be difficult, and you have to allow yourself the feelings as they come. Your dad will have to do the same. I don't want to sound as though I'm preaching to you. I've been through many loss of family members and friends. None of which were my parents and I can't know how it must be for you and your dad.
You are in my thoughts and prayers, as is your dad.
Dae and family.
