oh my gosh, that's horrible. i'm so sorry for your loss! losing someone, especially a parent, is hard. even harder around christmas. this was the first christmas without my dad, and i think that's where a lot of my funk came from. if you need anything, i'm here! even if you just need to vent and take a piss on the world, i'm here lol we don't necessarily to handwave all the tinder stuff. i mean, we could just say their schedules never warranted time for a date or two, if you'd like. jsyk though, he still has a little crush on her, so there's that too.
