    So, Father in Law has confirmed stage 4. Severity and treatment options are still being discussed. Considered terminal under normal treatment.

    An officer was gunned down in Denver Wednesday night and died on duty. He was my first ex's husband.

    I have been fighting a severe viral infection in my sinuses for the past 5 days.

    Needless to say, my life is currently fucked and it'll be a bit before I make some progress on Gisela. From what I recall, Kitsune needs to be reviewed for his changes and once he's approved brackets can be posted.

    Cancer is a bitch. Lost great people to it myself, including my father in law and grandfather. I think the term here is Jack, we all love you and take very good care of yourself, and loved ones. And take every ounce of time you need. Gisela ... Pfftt. It's dung for now.

    On March 11th, at 1:00PM, my father in law passed suddenly from advanced ocular melanoma. We arrived Saturday at 8PM and stayed with him until the end. I am not close with my immediate family due to disagreements in lifestyle choices and several other personal reasons. However, over the decade I've known my wife, I grew really close to her father. He was the man who helped me get a real career based job. He taught me humility, honesty, and strength of character. He showed me that personal happiness is not dependent upon public perception of you. He was a quirky fellow with two eyebrows that could have passed for a second and third mustache - a mustache that he was very proud of and you would never see him without it. He had many life experiences from raising rattlesnakes and vipers in pits, photos of roommates doing cocaine in the 80s, and a fashion sense when he was married only equivalent to porn stars of that time. He always, ALWAYS, kept a sense of humor and a wit so sharp it put razor blades to shame.

    Craig was a good man. A loving father, and a selfless martyr even when his children called him worthless, terrible, or incapable of love. Even to the end, he showed them he cared despite never receiving an apology. He even made us smile while each breath caused him pain. He didn't deserve what he got. In November of 2017, he began retirement from his company that gave me my first job in industrial sales. In January 2018, that company was bought out under the strict condition he return to work for another three years to smooth out the transition. Per the president of this new company, he worked his hardest up until three days before he passed. He loved fishing, wood work, and his life partner after being widowed by his wife four years earlier. He never truly got the time and opportunity to enjoy those hobbies.

    He is survived by my wife, another daughter, a son, and his life partner.

    I would like to say I too will carry on his will. In one of his few moments of lucidity at the end, I'll never forget his firm grip with both hands, and a strong, but raspy "Take care of her". That memory will remain with me until the end.

    After our time with him, we are looking at a potential opportunity to move across the street from where he used to live. I am hopeful in getting it. It would mean looking after his life partner as well as potentially working in his stead both at the company and resuming his woodwork in the shop. We have not yet made an offer, but if destiny permits, it would be a blessing in the darkness of his loss.

    All in all, I am finally back to work. I am working with a few selected people in improving the Althanas experience and hope to be more active and present on the site. As some may have heard, Tony is passing the torch. So, I will do my best to serve this community and keep it going for the years to come. I apologize for my absence and thank you for your patience. Life is short, and I hope all of you would be kind enough to help me make the best of it with this place.

    And thank you to all those who have listened to me in the last couple days. Your support is infinitely appreciated.

    So, I guess I'll open this back up since the wounds have had time to cauterize.

    Last week, we committed to buying a property in Bend, Oregon. This is a 2acre plot of land across the street from where he used to live. We will be close to his life partner and her daughter who live across the street. The home is... dated, but the land is nice. Ideal even. We started showing our home and in one day, received 6 offers all over asking price. Tonight, we'll review those offers, accept one, and place an offer on the property we have out eyes in. Many factors seem to be working in our favor. Our agent is not only top in his company, but owns the firm he represents. The agent in Oregon has guaranteed us that no offer will supersede ours. We will get the first shot. The only thing that needs to be worked out for this to come to a neat close is work. In order for us to secure the loan, both Jacque and I need to have written guaranteed jobs in Oregon to support the loan. I'd like for my company to comply with a potential remote position to continue supporting their largest Denver client. Until then, I have been putting in resumes left and right. Only one place gave me an interview and immediately rejected me due to my inability to work ASAP.

    I am still hopeful but heckin' stressed given that everything is in my name and riding on my employment to make this happen.

    Best of luck mate in all of it. Finding jobs and homes are very difficult, and can cause stress. The fact that you have the potential to move in close to family sounds really amazing, best wishes in that and finding a new job.

    It sounds like localized work is the last major obstacle to clear; best of luck! What is your line of work? I'd be happy to extend my network if it's of any value (I'm in plastics).
