Could I have some comfort from the FFXV bros? 2018 has been one hell of a year for me and my family. We’ve had 4 close family members die since late March and have been to just as many funerals for family friends who have passed. On top of that, my handicapped uncle has been in and out of the hospital multiple times since April. And since I do most of the caretaking for my uncle and my grandma, though I’m proud to do it, I’m just overwhelmed. I’m ready for this year to be over…

Hey Babe,

First of all, let me just say I’m proud of you. 

That’s a lot to take onto your shoulders, especially where family is concerned, and it takes an incredibly strong person to keep pushing forward through it all. So yeah…m’proud of you. 

And I am sorry for the loss in your family. Even if they weren’t family, losing family friends is hard too. 

Though, I’m gonna ask you to do something for me. Take some downtime for you. Don’t keep pushing yourself so hard that you collapse under the weight of everything. Okay?

Remember, we’re here for you to lean on us too.

Gladiolus is right Darling, 

We are quite proud of you for taking on the role of a Caretaker. It is not an easy job, especially when it is because you are needed to take care of family. 

But, you do need time for yourself too. Perhaps we should all plan to go to the Crows Nest for lunch, or perhaps a nice Coffee shop with a book. Just to get you some time away from the environment that has, quite literally, become your job. 

And please know that I do not mean for you to give up being a Caretaker, but the Caretaker too must take care of themselves.

As Gladiolus mentioned….we are here for you too to lean on, anytime.

Take care,
Gladio and Ignis
