Long time no post

Some updates since I last posted.
The good: Finally changed jobs after way too long with Albertsons. I've gotten into the restaurant biz and liking it way more than I would have expected. https://www.furaffinity.net/user/maggiecat87 and I celebrated 9 years of marriage together.
The bad: July of this year both of my parents passed away on the same night. Mom had been dealing with a recurring bladder infection for some time now, it had become the new normal for her. It would clear up and come back on repeat for a while. It just didn't seem that serious but her body just finally couldn't take anymore and it appeared that she passed in her sleep. From what the police gathered on the situation, Dad's heart gave out upon discovering that Mom had passed. He had heart problems in the past but had been doing fine up until he passed away, which made it all the more shocking when we got the news from the police after having to send out a medical check on them.
The ugly: This is the first holiday season after losing my mom and dad. December will forever be a terrible time for me, not just because of Christmas, but because my mom's birthday is December first. I'm doing the best I can to keep myself together. Our friends and family have been amazing in our time of need and I can never express my gratitude for them deeply enough. Some days are better than others and time will help in the long run, but it's only been 5 months. Taking it moment by moment and trying to focus on the positive points and be thankful for getting this far in life due to having such amazing people as my parents. I'm mostly ok, but not completely. A part of me is now missing without them in the world. But I'll carry on with the help of my wife and all our loved ones.
