Beau Garrett Instagram – I’m one gin cocktail in so forgive me. As I approach one year of konas passing I am met feeling like I am barely grasping the slick walls of time. It just keeps going. Pandemic infused, chaotic and unknown, our communities small enough to fit in a bubble and large enough to divide. It’s uncharted and terrifying and yet, slippery and momentary. I’d give anything to step back to this moment on the Oregon coast with my first pup, Kona. Camping with no inhibition. Hugging strangers and sharing campfires with fellow nomads. But here we are, 6 years later, weighted under the folds of this uncharted year. My new companion, Bob, rescued before the closing of Los Angeles shelters bee lining for the Canadian border to follow my heart. I look at these two pictures and all I really see is love. Not the same kind of love but, love. Pure and simple and never momentary. Not sure what I’m trying to say here…other than I’ve had gin. And I hope everyone that has read this far, knows how loved they are.
