Dealing with losses and moving on in life

I've grown accustom to dealing with losses over the years. Such is life. As many of you already know, my father passed away a few days ago and it's been pretty devastating. I've gotten an overwhelming amount of support from family and friends, though, and I really didn't realize how amazing they are. I love all of you and couldn't make it without all this support. Thanks so much to everyone for the well wishes. I think I'll pull through and move on with my life successfully. I'm weighing my options right now and I really have no idea what I'm going to do. It's a strong possibility I end up moving with my best friend in the world Kazu to his mother's huge house in Temecula, CA for at least a few months. His mom is the absolute nicest and most genuine person I've ever met in my entire life. His sister is also an amazing person and they are just, well...normal. Normality is something I haven't really experienced much of in my life. I'm really ready to move on and just be a normal person again. I think living in a nice household would be an amazing change for me. Eating dinner around a table with family is something I haven't done in years on a regular basis and it just feels so right.

I can even enroll in community college out there while still playing poker both live and online. I'm going to make some pretty huge life decisions coming up in the next month or so and I'm pretty excited. Hopefully everything turns out well for me. I think I'm due for some life run good soon! The funeral is tomorrow and I haven't slept very much in the past week or so. I've spent a lot of time getting closer to my family and I'm really glad I have. I have such an amazing family and they've been nothing but there for me every step of the way. Thanks again everyone and I'll make sure I keep you all posted on my progress.
