I saw your leave/return message and was upset by hearing about your struggles. I am so sorry, and I only hope that this forum can be a place of refuge for you during this mad time. 2020 has been unrelenting.
I want to spread some cheer though, and was wondering if you ever got to see the pretty award you won for the Fairy Club, or if you had checked out by then? This was possible because of Kitty's adept paws!

I'm really glad you're back, and still can't quite believe it. It's like I'm dreaming. You were sorely missed by me and I think anyone on the forum who has crossed paths with your tender and creative spirit.
It's okay if you can't be as active as before. Hey, there are times where I almost checked out myself especially this spring. And you juggled a lot of tasks at once, it must have been challenging.
Just having you here at all is something I'm grateful for.
You mentioned in the Leave/Return thread that you were anxious to see what new shinies we pokemon players have caught. If I might be so bold I'll tell you that have come across quite a few, and have officially joined the shiny hunters club. Some fairies I caught this year were shiny Dedenne, and two Shiny swirlix--one who is now a handsome Shiny slurpuff. I have a couple of Shiny Eevees, and will make one of them a shiny Sylveon--i thought that you would like to hear that especially. Since I have the shiny event zygarde, and shiny event Yvetal, I have also plans to complete the aura trio, and do a Shiny Xerneas hunt in USUM.
As you are a member of Dragon Ascent I'm letting you know that Firebolt/Norris and I hosted a shiny dragon giveaway this spring. While it ended a while ago, I still have a few pokemon left over, and was wondering if you want/need a shiny Swablu for your collection if you don't already have one? You could perhaps mega evolve into the Fairy/Dragon Altaria!
I read that you missed drawing with fellow of members and playing games.
I was wondering if the prospect of an art commission sounds like any fun right now? I have this idea that I would like to see realized, and thought this might be enjoyable for you if you're on the forum in search of an outlet for all of your artistic genius.
Would you like me to pm you?
Take care dearest,
I have said it before, but seeing you here does my heart good.
