Dear Dominion,
It is with heavy heart that I write this. With even heavier heart that this must be a sudden decision that I feel necessary to share with you all, my SL family.
I have loved my time in this lovely virtual world we call Second Life. I have made friends and contacts, touched and been touched, felt sisters I've never had, and been accepted for who I am. I've been comfortable here, and have developed my inner character, expanded my soul, bared it and felt the gift of grace through your kindnesses.
I have loved being on staff here, first as an instant Lady of The Dominion 9.29.08, Esteemed Lady of the Dominion, 5.26.09 and to my honor, High Mistress on 11.18.09. I cherish these titles.
I cherish my friends, and love Evangeline Eames for seeing something in me, and taking a chance with my friendship and faith. Being your Dominion DJ, was the most exciting privilege I've artistically expressed and it was always an exquisite experience for me, getting to play dedication to those who love each other, from my turntable, to your hearts. IT was my crack, so addictive and satisfying.
Recently, my RL has had an overwhelming crisis. My MIL was diagnosed last week with Melanoma of the Brain, and lung cancer. IT hit us out of the blue, and she might have three months to live. * at the present time, she may not make it til the weekend* At the same time, my Mother- who lives with me was told her kidneys are functioning at only 10%. She will begin Dialysis in 5 weeks. My Grandparents- who raised me, at 96 and 91 want to move to be closer to us, ( 200) miles, and live the rest of their lives nearby. My MIL's bucketlist is to see my stepdaughter married. I am planning a rushed wedding and prepping for whatever company will invade our home. My husband is one of 9 children, and they are all extremely close. Also, my husband's company is on strike, and he must work 14-16 hour days. I can not spread myself any thinner dear friends, and because of this obligation I must bid SL adieu. I can not do one more thing outside of my family, and I know you all understand this.
Also, my MIL has asked that we all revisit our personal faith and believes. Many of you know, I'm a preachers kid. I have promised to renew my faith, and live with my convictions.
I can't do both and not be a hypocrite. It is a challenge, but I have to do this for myself. I love my boy Watts, and as close as we are, he fully understands and supports my decision.
To my friends, I want to say a few words. To Lady Christy, you have been a joy to know, a source of incredible example, and I appreciate the kindness you and Epi have shown me all the way back from OWK. You will be missed
.
To the incredible Joie Arai, I admire your beauty, your conviction, your passion and your sweet side. I've luckily been privy to it, and I appreciate your kindness.
