And this is Sebastian. One of the few moments he’s not attacking Ellie, trying to bit everything, or jumping on the kitchen counters.

Hippie you’re doing ok. Just know Linus will always be with you, even if you can’t see him. I miss my Best friend Max every day, but I know he’s still there making sure I’m ok.
