Hey everyone,
          	
          	Just wanted to give you all an update about what's been going on with regards to my prolonged absence. My grandpa was diagnosed with terminal cancer several months ago, and I've been spending most of my time with him. He passed away recently, and just last week one of my grandmothers passed away as well so it's been a tough couple of months, and it's been hard finding the motivation to write. I wanted to thank you all for your patience.

@xoStardust Logged into wattpad after YEARS and checked in here, as you're one of my favourite authors. Having lost my grandfather around the same time frame, I completely understand and I'm so sorry for your loss. I miss my grandfather everyday, it's not something that you ever recover from. I remember my grandfather as I'm navigating through life, when I'm making big decisions, and when I'm having a tough time. His memory catches me offguard when I look at the things he used to love. I remember him when someone peels me some fruit. I remember him when someone laughs at a banana. I remember him when I see a comic. And I remember him when I see myself in the mirror. While I still feel grief at his untimely loss, his love and the values he taught me are a source of strength always. While there's no shielding against the sudden swell of grief that hits you completely out of the blue, I hope that with time, your memories with your grandfather become something that you're grateful for and the pain recedes. Sending you and your family lots of love <3

Hi! I'm Reigny. I read your book, The Last Dance and I just wanted to let you know that it's amazing. I've fallen in love with that book and honestly, I think you're an awesome writer considering that was your first book on Wattpad. The storyline is dope and the writing itself is wonderful.
          I don't do this very often, posting on writers' profiles but I just had to. Your skill is incredible and beyond commendable!

It’s been at least 7 years since I first read The Last Dance and Dancing with Deception. By now I’m well out of my “wattpad phase” where I used to read like five books a week, and I haven’t been on here in a while. The only reason I still have this app is to check every once in a while if DWD (and one other book on here) has been updated. Hoping for a surprise one of these days!
          
          Even if not, the enjoyment I’ve received from your books, especially through re-reads (they were my comfort books throughout high school), but also through just having something to remember fondly and look forward to—even if it might never come—were extremely valuable to me over my adolescent years.
          
          At this point, I’m assuming you’re not going to complete the book. And that choice is totally valid—it’s been almost a decade since you started and you’re not the same person you were when you started this. I’m sure you’ve moved on from Wattpad and I don’t blame you for it, as it seems you’re several years out of a master’s program by now and have better things to do.
          
          However, in the case that you’re still on here and reading this, I just wanted to say thank you. Your work was important to me growing up, and I really appreciate the work you did on here. And given by the amount of people on your message board even so many years later, it’s clear you made a bigger impact than you probably expected. 
          
          Thanks for sharing :)

@aIIyance  Same here. I've been waiting for Dancing With Deception to be updated for the last four or five years. Even though  as you put it "I'm out of my Wattpad phase"
