If there is any silver lining, it's that the loss of my greatest source of comfort has forced me to be more present with the people who matter in my life. To be a better partner, a better son, and a better friend. I am doing my best to fill my life with love, he wouldn't want me to shut myself away💜
After Bear passed I have felt anything but festive. We decided to make our piano his shrine, as it was one of his favoite spots in the house. We initially got him around Christmas, so it is only fitting that we still celebrate his love this season. Merry Christmas Piano Boy ❤️

Last night had a much needed get together with the college friend group. Most of them have kids now so it is harder for all of us to come together as a group, but sharing stories and baked goods while their kids all play together in the background filled my heart with such joy 💜 life isn't all bad

Cancel all your streaming services, get an old DVD player at goodwill, then go to your local library to pick out movies/shows like the Blockbuster days. Add some popcorn and candy. Perfect date

The modern Republican Party is the party of the neo-Confederates and the KKK, and their embrace of MAGA has not been surprising to anyone who has paid attention for the last 30-40 years. We cannot repeat the mistakes of early Reconstruction. No more pardons for Confederate traitors

I think it is time for a postive photo dump. If I have any regrets it would be not getting more photos of him. These show just how much he loved me, just ignore my messy hair and behold the cuddles and kisses I was lucky to have daily for years 💜

We decided to walk around town and discovered the holiday night market. Got a bag of snickerdoodle popcorn and watched the lighting of the tree. Even though these days and nights will be challenging, I am happy I have a partner in crime with whom I can face them 💜

The hardest part of waking up now is the deafening silence in our home. The realization that he isn't nestled behind my knees in his spot on our bed. Every little noise I tense up as if just waiting to hear him come thundering down the hallway to me. Part of me has died, I am not the same person

On Dec. 3rd 2025, our hearts were shattered. After fighting nearly a week to turn it around, Bear continued to regress, not eating or drinking or relieving himself. We had to make the hardest decision of our lives, to allow him to pass peacefully. He was the best boy.

Pie turned out mediocre, called an audible and made cookies instead. Dessert is dessert. Time to get drunk and argue about AI intrusion into everyday life and the realities of state-sponsored violence

A little late this week with posting this, but wanted to give a refresher for those who haven't read this since High School. Lincoln was by no means a perfect president and made many mistakes, but his love of our nation and dedication to reaching the ideals of our founding cannot be questioned

All you can do is give someone the space they need to grow. You can't force someone, they have to want to take action. You can encourage them, you can cheer them on and celebrate the wins, but ultimately it is on them to do the work. Focusing on yourself is not selfish, it is necessary
