As the day draws to a close, everything I tried hard not to think about suddenly comes top of mind. There is no repression of feelings at the end of the day when you have nothing else to distract you and you’re left alone with your thoughts. Today is my dad’s birthday. This is the first birthday without him. He taught me love for the outdoors and music. Words cannot describe the deep sorrow and the loud silence of his absence. I miss you so much. I love you forever, dad.

Circa 2011 when my friends, dog, and I went hiking and came across this beautiful waterfall.

Somewhere in Homer, Alaska, USA. Getting eaten alive by mosquitoes while taking this picture.

Today is my late boy’s bday. I know he would not have lived to be 18 (today). He was 13 but if it hadn’t been for the mass in his stomach, he would have easily made it to 15–I just know it. His final days were hard because he had been put on medication that made him act young again. The cognitive dissonance of his new energy to the reality of his situation was so hard to accept. 13 years was not enough; I wish pets survived our whole lifetime. My goodest boy, you will forever have my heart. Today I raise a glass to you, to commemorate everything you meant to me and remember the unconditional love you gave me.

Snowshoeing with my friends up a very steep hill. I had my jacket tied to my waterpack and it somehow got loose and fell off at the top on the mountain. I realized this when we were at the bottom. I was ready to abandon the jacket, but my friends refused because it was a brand new jacket and so I turned back and ran up that hill so my friends didn’t have to climb it all the way again. Everyone I passed on the trail said, “YOU’RE the jacket person? We saw it, it’s still there.” Haha everyone was so nice and no one took the jacket. I burned so many calories that day.

This was a nice desert hike. Loved seeing the snowy mountain contrasted against the bright blue sky. It was peaceful.
