UPDATE: Andrea has been found and she is safe and sound
I am happy that our family member was found safe and healthy. This one ended with our precious family member safe and sound. It is important to watchout for each other, to pay attention to our surroundings and never trust someone just because they smile and seem okay; don't be paranoid, just realize that people are human and beautifully broken.
Our family member came home to us today after a time of worry and all the shit that goes through your mind playing the worse-case-scenario over and over. It is so good to know your loved one is home and healthy and my prayers and love go to those families who are going to have very challenging holidays this year without that person that made them laugh, went fishing together and all those good times of great memories, are not going to be there this time to share the smiles, the challenges, and the warmth of the Holidays; all I can say is you are my heroes, the people who have to smile when inside you have died another day.
I hope we really cherish our times we share together. I really hope we never take for granted that time we spend at breakfast over a nice hot cup of coffee, or a sitting out on a back porch sharing a nice OG blunt, cracking open a cold one and just talking shit that matters to the both of you...fucking embrace that shit, never take your relationships for granted, and damn it, love each other now, tomorrow may never come.
Peace and love.
