15 years ago, I adopted Emma. I wasn't in a great place in my life & she became my best friend. As I went to pursue my dreams, she moved in with my mom and became her best friend too. Tonight, in her sleep, she left us. I'm at a loss. Hug the things you love. It's not forever.

My favorite is, “this virus isn’t real. It’ll be gone in November if Dems win.” The “thinking” being that the Democrat party made up this virus, and/or its severity, and then somehow got the rest of the entire fucking world to shut down just to oust a foreign country’s president.
