Cass, I replied to your DW post, but I'll say it here as well: You are in my thoughts, and I will offer whatever love and support I can.
I would be there right now.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Cass, I'm sorry you've had to make such a difficult choice. Let me know if I can give you a hand with anything down here.
Sorry, no meara, just {{{Bitches}}} as required.

Cass,
what everyone else said but I've had one distracting thought running through my head all day about your situation...
how are you able to relocate? I'm glad you'll be closer to your father, it sounds like it is something you both need, but how can you manage it?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Being willing to walk away from a place and life I love, mostly. I have to choose, I choose time with my dad. I can move again later.
I mean, a year ago I would have said that I couldn't. But now the alternative is worse. I guess the answer is how can I not? I'm single and Puppycat doesn't get a vote. Though I am hoping she gets a tranq for the trip. She hates being in the box in a car.
And I am developing a close, personal relationship with the guy at the donation truck. Also my hand brace. I expect audiobooks will help too.

Not our business, but do you have a way to make a living with this sudden a move? Or will you have to look for work?

yes. please tell us how we can help. I'm packing up a bunch of stuff and donating more, so if there are things I can help with, please let me know.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Cass, I am so sorry you had to make this decision, though I'm not surprised at the result.
I choose time with my dad. I can move again later.
This. At the end of the day, it's just a place to live. Family and friends, OTOH? We know the kind of sacrifices we're willing to make. More time is more precious than most anything else.
If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.
