Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weβd chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

"Surely, this year can't be worse than last year..."
I've said every year since New Years 2017.
I found out a year ago that I was being laid off from the job I loved. Still unemployed. Fuck this timeline.

Not sure I ever will be. I gave a piece of myself to her when she chose us to be her family that sure will take with her when she becomes a star in the sky.
But it feels like my entire soul is trying to rip itself from my body.

We have about 27 more hours with Emma. I don't know what the first 12 years of her like were like, but I know the last 6 have been wonderful. The past free weeks have been full of outside time, ice cream, and a million snuggles. I think she's ready.
