LIR: Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone. Appreciate it. And there was one light-hearted moment in all of this.

December sucks because my step-dad received his first actual cancer diagnosis and started chemotherapy in December 2012. Two years ago to the day yesterday, he had to suddenly go back into the hospital after a couple months of what seemed to be improvement (and the day after Christmas two years ago was when he got the final diagnosis that the cancer had come raging back; he then started hospice right away).
And on top of it all, the previous two cats my mom has had (one of which was Remy the-cat-who-used-to-live-in-my-house) have both passed away in December.
But ... last night, while searching around for Sumner, Mom looked under the bed and found something odd tucked up underneath the box spring: an electronic Scrabble game and a copy of the Killer Bunnies game. Both were very dusty.
It took a moment, but we figured out that my step-dad must have purchased these as surprise Christmas gifts for the two of us at least three or four years ago and forgot about them.
