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!

Thanks, it's a welcome change and we're all really looking forward to it. Kind of still stunned and trying to get it to sink in, but looking forward to it.

Great to hear that things are on the positive side again Retox -- good on you for prioritizing your family, even when it hurts to do so financially. Not an easy thing to do, I'm sure!
