Another year has gone by and Aaron has managed to not get himself bitten by a shark! Oh yes, and he also survived that exact thing five years ago on October 29th. In honor of that, ever since the one year anniversary, we invite our friends over, drink shark-themed beers, and chow down on red velvet cupcakes to celebrate Aaron still being alive.
Speaking of the cupcakes, how cute are those cupcake wrappers that I found!? They’re totally made for Halloween, but they were too perfect not to purchase for a shark attack party.

This picture tears me up inside in ways I can’t even begin to explain. This picture seriously could have been me 6 months ago. And believe me, it’s a nightmare that plays out in my head more often than I’d like to admit. Almost every night before I fall asleep I re-live the shark attack, and often times my mind takes me on the “what if it had been worse” journey. I would imagine there would have been a picture taken of me that looked a lot like this one. And every part of me wants to reach out to her and the other members of his family to tell them that I am soooo sorry. I know how shocked and scared and vulnerable and confused and angry they’re feeling. And it sucks. I’m sorry i can’t be more poetic than that right now. It just plain fucking sucks. Even with my loved one safe at home I still have nightmares and bouts of depression over the attack. I can’t even imagine what it will be like for his loved ones.
