Hey, everyone, I apologize that I’m delaying the update of Pages 7 & 8 till next Friday, February 6th. My grandfather passed away very suddenly on Wednesday and I just couldn’t finish this week’s pages. The funeral is back home in Pennsylvania and… Friday and Saturday are going to be two of the hardest days of my life. I know some of you are the praying sort, and my family could use some prayer right now.
If you’ve been reading The Dreamer for awhile, you’ll remember my grandfather, because he is the great, great, great, great grandson of Revolutionary War Captain Andrew Sharp, who I gave a Dreamer cameo (and my grandfather’s face, though I never heard the man swear, much less use words like “whoring” or “strumpet”…!) I really don’t have any words right now for how much I loved him, or how much I’ll miss him.
In lieu of an update, you can VOTE and I posted one of the cutest parts of next Friday’s update, a panel featuring Thomas Grosvenor & Nathan Hale. I know Buzzcomix still isn’t working, and I’m not sure what is going on there. So click the TWC button with Nathan’s face on it. Thanks!
For those of you who have been buying The Dreamer in print (you have my eternal love for this), you might notice that issue #6 isn’t listed in the April’s Previews catalogue. With good reason: Issue #6 won’t be released until May.
And this week Alyssa sent me a Dreamer Alan & Beatrice fan video, which is very beautiful and can help provide your weekly dose of Dreamer goodness.
See you next Friday, everyone.
I am very sorry for your loss :( Hope you and your family find peace and condolence. Losing a loved one is always something better handled when you keep your family and friends close. So keep ‘em close. :)
I’m so sorry about your loss. Stay strong
I’m so sorry for your loss. Healing thoughts to you and your family.
My condolences on your loss.
I think everybody’s pretty much said what I wanted say. I’d just like to chime in and say that I’m really sorry. And don’t even worry about the comic, we’re loyal fans.
Oh, and the TWC picture of Nathan may about be the cutest yet =>
I`m so sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away Lora. My condolences to you and your family. I`ll pray for you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Lora. I pray that you and your family will find comfort in each other and the memories that you all have. Take all the time you need to grieve, dear.
My condolences on the loss of your grandfather.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. You have my heartfelt condolences. I know it’s not the same but….my grandfather has Alzheimer’s, and it’s downhill slope. I dread the day the worst happens. I don’t remember my maternal grandfather; I was only three when he left us. I have yet to experience such loss as you have, and I dread the day it will come. All I can say is that I wish you the best, that I hope you get through this ok. I am sure your grandfather is extremely proud of you.
*hugs*
I recently found your webcomic and love it! I’m so sorry about your grandfather. Take all the time you need.
*hugs* I’m sorry about your grandfather, Lora. I’ll be praying for your family. Take care.
To cheer you up, I say this: Steelers won!
May your heart be lightened and faced cheered, each time you remember your Grandfather’s Love for you. For in that kind of love, you find a little bit of the Divine Love.
even if your grandfather fades, his love for you will never. thank you very much for working on the dreamer still even though you have suffered a great loss may God bless you and your talent
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Take all the time you need to finish those pages. You’re most definitely in my prayers, because although I don’t remember either of my grandfathers, I would be positively devastated if my grandmother passed away suddenly. You’re an amazingly talented artist, and I look foreward each week to seeing what’s going on with Bea and Alan and everyone else. You bring history alive.
I hope God will keep a special watch over your family in this horrible time.
Spoon.
My prayers are with you and your family Lora. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.
My condolences for losing your grandfather. God bless you and your family.
Lori I just was looking at your Dreamer website. It is awesome. I was touched by all of your readers responses on Dad’s passing. Just like you, I never heard Dad swear in all of my life (unless he quoted someone else and at that he was uncomfortable repeating it). I noticed one of your readers made the statement that he would be Poud of You. I know for a fact that he was very proud of you and your work. I think you have something very special here. Great Job. Someday we will be able to have memories and smile but now there are tears with that smile. He was a special man. In some cases he was “Favorite”. God Bless You Lori keep up the good work.
