[@Lost Shadow] - you didn't fail us.  Others failed you, in a big way.  Glad to hear you're alright though.  No need to apologise, but thank you for doing so anyway.  Obviously, as was said previously, this takes a back seat to near homelessness.  No trust has been lost, as you explained the reason behind your absence.  As for making a character, go ahead and join in.

*Gives him great big bear hug*
