Gr, I can’t comment on Flickr. But, oh my god, that last picture of Dre and Sassy? You guys are so perfect. I only hope that one day i can be as happy as you guys are. I just sat there and pined. You guys are so perfect. Do you have any idea how beautiful your life is?

Shannon thank you for the sweet comment — but don’t go pining for our life. It’s filled with just as many challenges, bleak moments, fucked up communication, frustrations and agonies as anyone else. I think there’s a real risk in pining for the idealized husk of a life that a blog can convey. In other words: yes, I’m very blessed. But so are you.
