Yep, baby chickens. I can’t even make this stuff up.

Yes, that is a carpeted bedroom with SIX, eight week old pure bred German Shepherd puppies and yes, everything is covered in urine, feces and who knows what else.

So it’s been 3.5 weeks of hard, manual labor and even though I’ve been busting my butt every single day, in 90+ degree temps, I still don’t look anything like how he advertised it.

I am a Zebra among Horses - I love my brother and I will always love him. He was broken, but we all are in our own ways. But he was broken more than I ever knew. I truly miss him but the more I find out the more I realize how little I actually KNEW him. In some ways it’s scary knowing what he kept buried so deep and in other ways it’s fascinating.

I used to say that he was my anchor, he kept me grounded and out of trouble. But over the last few weeks I have come to realize he’s not my anchor at all, he does not keep me tied down.

After being held for 10 days at New Hanover Animal Control we were able to get Chris’s babies.

Thank you to everyone who have supported Chris's final journey, we cannot express how much it means to us. The last few days have been challenging to say the least.

It's OK to not be OK - but there will come a time when you are just tired of being not OK. Tired of always being incredibly sad on the inside while seemingly so happy on the outside. Tired of always telling people you are doing OK. Chris was not OK and he was tired of not being OK. I can only hope that he has found the peace that he has always been searching for.
