2024 has totally whizzed by like nobody's business! I've been spending my time away from the forum because this summer was a haze. Few life updates ...
I had my first child, Kian this year (!) - born March 28. Kian's a premie, born 6 weeks early and he spent 2 extra weeks in the NICU, getting some much needed TLC. He's fun when he's in a goooood mood. With him being a premie, I'm learning (slowly) to adjust my expectations to his actual age, especially when it comes to his development. It's hard for me to reframe things, but I'm learning and trying my best at the moment. While he's a fun kid, the not so fun side is that he's also a bad eater and the poor fella is in the 5 percentile.
Pictures taken just yesterday of Kian:

On a much harder note, Lucas's health got worse in the summer, and he had been battling with kidney failure for a long long time. We'd been giving him fluid shots twice a week since last September, but by the summer, his health started to worsen. Our vet suggested we increase the fluid shots to three times a week and it's during this time that we also learned from his x-rays that he had other complications. We made the heartbreaking decision to let him go at the end of July. I grew up with dogs who lived to be 12 or 13 and passed away in their sleep, so losing Lucas at is age of 16, with the way he did, hit me harder than I expected. Even now, just sharing this got me emotional. But I do find some comfort in knowing Lucas had a great life when he met Pam and me, and hey, he got to meet Kian, which feels like an unexpected bonus.

When I found out David Gilmour was playing at Madison Square Garden, I knew I just had to go. I missed his 2016 tour, and I would've totally regretted not seeing him live. With the wife and Kian’s blessings, I watched him play live about 2ish weeks ago at the garden. He was in great form - it was easily one of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced! I’ve seen Roger Waters before (when he was a bit sane), but seeing Gilmour, who's 78/ 79 years old, was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Who knows when he’ll come back to New York ...
