Today is the 4th anniversary of Mallory Beach's death. We've heard a lot this past week about what a "good kid" Paul Murdaugh was. All I know is what he stood accused of at the time of his death was far from "good." Prayers up today for Beach's family and friends #MurdaughTrial

Blanca gave a recent Bubba update: "I am so very lucky to have a dog/friend that is helping me get through it one day at a time. Just a little note ... he visits the vet, eats, drinks and loves his treats, and it's not cheap, but I don't mind because I know he's worth it."
