If you follow me, you know every Valentine’s Day is officially our “Sushiversary.” It's a tradition that Bear and I hold dear, and I am not missing it for the world! For years, we’ve sworn by Island Sushi in Green Bay, but this time we decided to shake things up with a local contender - Sushi Lovers, right here in Oshkosh. Change is exciting, right?
Valentine’s morning rolled around, and the forecast was a frosty nightmare: single‐digit temps, blowing snow, and icicles dangling from every roof. Undeterred, Bear and I bundled up like Michelin men and set off for Sushi Lovers, dreaming of spicy tuna and avocado rolls. The excitement was real—until we saw the line. The place was packed wall to wall, and my sushi‐starved heart sank. I practically mourned over my empty chopsticks, but Bear, ever the optimist, promised we’d make it happen. When life gives you a sushi shutdown, you plan a comeback.

It was a cold Wednesday afternoon, and Bear came into my office asking me if I could take some time off the following day. He said it wasn't an emergency or anything, but he had a surprise for me. Given the nature of my work, a day's notice wouldn't cut it so I said can we do it some other day.
Bear said, of course - I will get you your surprise on Saturday. I stewed for a few days, because OMG who does that?? Saturday came, and I started to get dressed. Bear started to give me instructions - don't wear this and don't wear that - still trying to keep the surprise a secret, I was so confused why! Are we going to an escape room? Is this some paint ball event? Is this some sport event? Are we going to pick up a new puppy or cat? Are we petting goats or llamas? The escape room was definitely my first guess. Got in the truck, started driving North. Turned to Bowen St. and I was thinking, the Humane Society is this way… 
THE HUMANE SOCIETY IS THIS WAY!
World, meet Belle!
I don't even know where to start, and I still really don't think I have the right words to describe how I feel.
Throughout the years, decades even, I have lost people dear to me to many causes. I don't think I've really ever cried so hard since my grandfather passed away in 2001. I understand that sometimes, our loved-ones will go before us, and I always keep in mind that finally they are at peace. It also doesn't really help that I am not a very empathic person, that's how my brain is wired. Before you ask, yes I do feel sadness and hurt, but it's just not as painful, for lack of better words. This time, it is a little... different. 
I met Andrea four years ago, when I got the new role I applied for and joined the team where she was already part of. It was the beginning of COVID, and we were already working from home. I never had the chance to see her in person, and we pretty much talked through our work chat.
