Many Thanks to all SG (and a few GAs too)

Open

Just a bit of me saying thank you back to the SG community.

I haven't been in a position to give back to SteamGifts for a while now. At least not mentally. I was forced out of my job shortly after my daughter was born because my wife was having problems recovering from birth and being able to take care of the baby on her own. This was causing me to have to miss work and so the environment became toxic and I was forced to leave before they pushed it far enough to axe me...
Anyways I haven't had steady employment for the last year and a half and was dealing with depression in all of this. When you can't provide for your disabled wife or for your kids it kind of really takes it's toll on you. We've managed to scrape by thankfully and I've finally been offered a full-time position. If all goes accordingly by about this time next month my family and I will be set up in a new city and state, me with a new higher position and healthy income, and things finally looking up again.

During this time, SG was one of the few things that I had going to look forward to that wasn't also wrapped up in conflicting emotions and guilt. So I just wanted to be able to give back a bit. Unfortunately I'm still flat broke, trying to coordinate a move and coax my daughter to start talking so everyone will have to settle for bundle leftovers at least until I'm a paycheck or two in.
Ok, that's enough of my sob story. Sorry for the wall of text.
Now to the reason that everyone is actually here. The gibs!

You have my utmost respect for stepping in and taking care of a newborn + disabled person at the same time, even one of those is a full-time job in itself. Great to hear the turn upwards!

Hey man, I'm glad that things are looking up for you and your family! Just keep doing your best and try not to let the pressure get to you. I know it's a ton of responsibility but all that stressing over it will do is undermine your ability to get through it all.

Also, I saw you said you liked noir movies... Have you seen Brick? It's neo-noir, but I thought it was pretty great.
