*UPDATE* From A Touch of Realisms Wife:

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that A Touch of Realism truly appreciates all of your caring messages and support.  The past few days have been incredibly difficult as he's been handling the funeral arrangements for his father while trying to adjust to this new normal. It's never easy to lose a parent, and the emotions that come with such a great loss are overwhelming.

That being said, he does hope to be back creating for you all soon.  It's just been a bit tougher than he anticipated.

Thank you again for your understanding and support. It means the world to both of us.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I wanted to thank all of you for your understanding and words of encouragement over the last few weeks with my father and my own illness. Unfortunately, yesterday, before we could begin the tests to get my father on his road to recovery, he took a turn for the worse. We rushed in immediate family from out of state and they were thankfully able to see him prior to his passing this morning. I have mostly recovered from my own health scare, just
need to see some specialists down the road and do some monitoring. I am just overwhelmed with emotion at the moment and extremely exhausted. I will be with family over the next 2 days but I plan on coming back to work on Sunday. I will have a few days next week where my availability will be questionable with funeral arrangements and getting his house in order. 

You can continue to send in your requests, and I will respond once I figure out how to reorganize the schedule on Sunday. I also plan to get caught up as soon as humanly possible. I apologize for these delays. Most of you know how on the ball and organized I normally am but it has been a very difficult few weeks for me as many of you who have followed the situation are well aware.

Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding. I promise to come back better than ever very soon.
