I can't even put any words together. My stomach heart hurts in sympathy of your pain.
I'm so sorry. Genuinely.

I'm so sorry Nigel. I wish I could bring you groceries, or give you a hug, or cry with you.

Echoing others' sentiments, Nigel, I am so sorry.

And Roger, I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

Fuck.

I am also sorry to hear about your friend, Roger. She sounded like a wonderful, vibrant person from your stories.

She was.  She also swung into and out of horrifying depression.  She was tough as nails and had a truly wicked sense of humor, but that doesn't help when your own brain betrays you.

How are you holding up?

It's strange, because I'm still alive and it feels impossible. He took a piece of me with him. I do the things I'm supposed to do, and I love as hard as I did before, and I even smile and laugh and enjoy things, but there is this ache and this dread because even if I forget for a minute, soon enough I'll remember.

The day I came home from my interview I had everything in the world I've ever wanted. Until I got the phone call. Now I have everything but my son.

So I guess I would say that I am putting one one foot in front of the other and I will keep on doing that for the rest of my life.

This is awful.  I am so sorry.  I can't even imagine losing a kid.   :cry:

Just so everyone knows, the videos are still going up.

Hopefully, one more episode and then...the nightmare that is Bleak Falls Barrow.  Actually not that nightmarish, but you will see why it's not a beginner dungeon anymore.  I mean, it doesn't compare with, say, Fellglow Keep, which in turn doesn't compare with a Dwemer ruin, which doesn't compare with Labyrinthian or Blackreach.  Or the Soul Cairn.  Or Apocyrpha.  Or Sovngarde.

But no facerolling through it at level 3, anymore, that's for sure.  And there's a nasty surprise at the end...

I was thinking that maybe it's time to retire this Open Bar a little early. Send it packing.
