I can’t believe it. Day 1000 passed without my noticing it. I was in Las Vegas at the time visiting my mom and dad. I spent the day hanging out with them, my great-uncle and his new wife and daughter, my aunt and two of my cousins. Watched some football. [...]

Losing Gracie was seriously the saddest thing I’ve been through in forever. I found myself crying for a couple of days. I kept thinking I saw her.
A dear friend kept suggesting that I get a new cat right away. You need a buddy, he’d keep saying. I kept my eyes on the classifieds and on [...]
