Happy Birthday, @mollybishop !!!
So incredible grateful for my nature gal. You’re an amazing Mom, partner and I love the kindness, empathy, and gracefulness you bring to this world everyday ❤️
Goodbyes are never easy and grief is never straightforward. I guess that’s why it’s taken me a year to write this post.
One year ago today, on a sunny but cold December 3rd, we said goodbye to Lucy. Molly jokes that I love animals but that I was never really a dog guy. All that changed when I met Lucy.
She loved our snuggles, our rough housing, and I did too. Lucy was Molly’s dog but for 10 years I was able to share that joy and feel what unconditional love from a dog will do to your soul.
We had a lot of stories with Lucy, mainly eating things that she shouldn’t, but one story in particular still sticks out to me. Molly and I had just started dating and were coming back from dinner when we got to her apartment door and she stopped. “I think I left the trash out!” I’m standing there thinking she means the smell but when we opened the door Lucy had gotten into the trash, ate what she could, and dragged the rest of it all over the apartment. It was a sight to see for such a small dog, but when there was food to be found, Lucy would find it.
Whether it was your best day or worst day, Lucy always greeted us with warmth, kindness, and snuggles. Lucy made me a dog guy and I’m so thankful I had her in my life as long as I did and grateful to see Molly’s love for Lucy.
Give your pet an extra big hug this week and enjoy those snuggles, because time is fleeting and they truly are the best.
Go outside, nerd.

Come gather ‘round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
And you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
37 🎉🥳
