What were the personal issues?

We don't believe it because we know there's more to it.

Like losing your job during Covid. Lot of people lost their jobs during Covid.

I lost my job. I didn't cry for myself and my lost job though. I knew we'd be okay. We had enough to live off of for a year. Mostly thanks to Urchling building a pantry and managing our finances. We were even able to help out some of our neighbors.

But I didn't cry as a form of pity party indulgence. Not when so many were suffering so much more. We were healthy. We were safe. We got to shelter. It would have been disrespectful to Urchling to carry on like that, thinking only of myself and my ego after the diligence and hard work she had put in for well over a year to build us up like it was nothing. She basically saved our asses. All that work for wiped out. She didn't cry over it either. That's what it was for and it would have been disrespectful to me because it was built off my earnings and willingness to follow her lead when she calls rations, no spend time, tightening our belts in other ways, knocking out the lists, listening and talking things over, all without griping and without complaint. With a willing heart.
