Well in the past year my stepdad dropped dead of a heart attack the week before last Christmas, my partner's Aunt who she is closest to committed suicide and her cousin died of a fentanyl overdose the day before Thanksgiving. We dgaf this Christmas season and got each other all kinds of stuff like a record player, an apple watch, airpods and an electric guitar and amp among many other things. We also already opened most of our presents cause fuck it. I'm going to San Antonio to meet much of her extended well to do latino family for the first time and am actually pretty excited. Her family is really cool and easy to get along with so I'm looking forward to having drinks and enjoying time with what is now my family. After Xmas we are meeting my siblings in Bartlesville, OK for my Dad's 78th birthday. He and my wicked stepmom aren't doing well at all and this might be the last time I ever see him tbh. I have a feeling he's got a year or two left but it'll be nice to see him and my brothers and sisters. Fingers crossed it goes well because my sister Laura is batshit crazy and bipolar.
