365 days of drawing ~ day twenty

Took a little break from my challenge today.  I haven't been sleeping well, even though baby Maggie is out of our bed and in her own crib.  I really dislike working on important drawings while feeling tired, so I decided that I will probably have to take at least one day off a month from my drawing challenge.  I am sure it won't take me months to complete the current portrait, but I do have quite a few more portraits I want to complete.  And who knows, maybe I will feel led to provide another portrait to a deserving person.  I can't control the urge to draw.

I have so many loved ones in heaven.  I miss my Nan and Pap the most and they will probably be next.  Secondly, I miss my Aunt and Uncle dearly.  I have so many memories of talking with them, even from my childhood.  My Aunt and Uncle were like a second set of parents, I have told them things and feelings that I probably haven't shared with my own parents.  Thirdly, I miss my Grandma and Grandpa.  We had so many holiday gatherings, they were at nearly every birthday, sporting event, art show, etc.  Lastly, I miss my friend Houd.  He was such a kind, loving soul.  Taken from us all too soon, I think about him often.
