As someone who watched my attempted murderer (and murderer of my wife) declared guilty, I know the utter relief the family felt. I also know it doesn’t bring justice or peace. Justice is George Floyd alive. Prayers for the family as they continue to mourn.

I love this picture of my mom. Even though life broke her heart many times — and she couldn’t break the cycle of addiction — she never stopped smiling or laughing or finding joy in the mundane.

Courage doesn’t always roar, my friends. As I told one of my closest friends on my walk this morning — sometimes courage is putting one foot in front of the other when your soul is heavy.

Happy birthday to

. It is hard to believe that she would have turned 37 today. As has been said of others who died too young, she had every gift but the length of her time on this Earth. Today I hope those who knew and loved her will take time to remember her.

The first Mother’s Day without my Mom just hits differently. Thinking of all of those without a Mom, those who wanted to be a Mom and never could, those who want to be a Mom and aren’t there yet, and those who Mother all of the folks in their life without the title.

October is always a challenging month for me. It has many landmark moments that are worth celebrating — but it also holds Jamie’s birthday (a day of mixed emotions) & now the anniversary of my mom’s death. It is a reminder of how hard it is here — and how good too.

So often throughout this pandemic I've noted that I felt overly blessed. And I still do. But I have to acknowledge the past four days have been the hardest stretch since it started. It is important to say this part out loud because this is all so damn hard on all of us.

Finally working on an idea I've wanted to do for a long time... a true conference and festival focused on grief and loss. It is time we had a real conversation about what it looks like to lose someone, how we find meaning, and how we build support for resilience.

We had a great life together. A year of becoming best friends, a year of dating, four years and a few days of being married. Life always presents challenges, but I knew she always had my back, even when I least deserved it. She was kind, generous, and brave.

I am not entirely sure why people are comparing the 2020 debut to 2023 debut numbers. The question is where do they go from here. They are well in-line with the mid-season 2020 numbers at present and against top competition.

Three years ago today I was on the way to golf with friends when I received a call. The person on the other end was sobbing and all they could say was “Your mom…” and I knew.
She died of an accidental overdose. And I’ve missed her every single day since that call.

For eight-plus years I’ve continued to pay for
@jamiehahn
’s cell plan so anyone can call her voicemail to hear her voice. I know at some point that will end, but it has provided some comfort in trying times.
How grief works: my best friend died three years ago and in that time I still haven’t been able to delete our text thread or her phone number from my contacts. I know at this point her number has been reassigned. But to me, it’ll always be her number. Forever.

The way that you are feeling this week is probably grief. It is hard to name because we do such a good job of hiding it... until it bursts out in the open.

My favorite take (*least favorite take) right now has to be the tweets attacking college students (large numbers of whom are vaccinated per the data) for being students. I understand the need for public health messaging. It’s the shaming and holier than thou that gets me.

For God’s sake… this should have been the case years ago.
Delta Airlines is temporarily changing how people board; travelers whose seats are in the last row will board first, with the process continuing row-by-row to the front to minimize interactions. First and business class can board when they want, but are encouraged to wait.

One thing we heard this morning re: vaccine hesitancy. “Some people are just scared. If you can get them to have the conversation they will admit it — and then you can usually get them to get the shot.” — This reminds me of Mr. Rogers — anything mentionable is manageable.
