Who I Spend the Most Time With: Life Between My dog, My Residents, and Missing My Fiancé

Who do you spend the most time with?

Man’s Best friend

Right now, I spend the most time with Luna, my emotional support in fur form, and the residents at work. Kelso is deep in the hustle: school, work, apprenticeship, repeat. I miss them fiercely, but I’m proud of how hard they’re pushing through.

Luna keeps me steady. She’s there during the quiet mornings, the chaotic evenings, and everything in between. She listens without judgment and demands snacks without mercy. The residents at work, my second family, fill in the rest. We laugh, grieve, and survive in a way only people in our shoes understand.

It’s not the same as spending all day with my fiancé, but it’s still love in motion. Luna with her silent loyalty. My residents with their raw, often hilarious honesty. And Kelso, doing the damn thing for them, for us.

We’re all just trying to make it to the other side. Together.
