My mask says, “I care about you and want to keep you safe.” 👭👫👬 Wearing a mask is such a small thing, but if we all do it, it will make a huge difference! To help stop Coronavirus spread, I’ve committed to wearing a mask any time I’m out in public and I hope you will too! Who’s with me!? ❤️ #YourActionsSaveLives #SlowtheSpread #WearaDamnMask 📍Excelsior Neighborhood, on Avalon #ASideofSF #sanfrancisco #streetsofsf #onlyinsf

This morning, we said goodbye to my father, who died unexpectedly last Tuesday. This past week has been one of the hardest of my life, as I grieved this heartbreaking loss here in San Francisco while the rest of my family gathered together in Wisconsin. Due to the risks of travel, @thepatfiles and I chose to #StayHome and join his celebration of life via a combination of Facebook live and Facetime. I even managed to give a eulogy thanks to my sisters holding the phone up to the microphone. The grief has been not just an emotional sensation, but a physical one as well. It’s not constant but instead comes in waves. Without warning, a flood of warmth from within, my skin tingles, and my eyes blur. I’ve been trying to embrace the pain because this feeling means I was lucky to love and be loved by someone so much. Our relationship wasn’t perfect. He drove me crazy at times with his stubbornness, like his refusal to give up his 10-year-old flip phone, but he also showed me what unconditional love is. I have him to thank for my work ethic, my resilience, my independence, and the high standards I hold myself to. I find comfort in the fact that he was in relatively good health until the end. He was sharp as a tack, self-aware, fiercely independent, and, despite his physical limitations from diabetic neuropathy, never once complained. Instead, he spent the last few years living life to its fullest - going for rides on his trike bike, wintering in Florida, traveling, beekeeping, and - most of all - making sure I knew how proud he was of me. I want to tell him that I’m proud of him too. I will continue to live my life the way he taught me to - to work hard but not take things too seriously, treat those around me with compassion and never miss an opportunity to brighten someone’s day. I love you daddy. 💔

This house is as BRIGHT as your FUTURE. 😎 #ASideofNEON This CRAZY house is a newish discovery for me as it’s in a very un-touristy part of San Francisco. It wasn’t until I was picking up something from Craigslist that I drove by and it stopped me in my tracks!!! This is the sort of house that brings up more questions than answers, like “what do the neighbors think?” and “what are the owners like?” and “who designed this masterpiece?”. Another question, “would my husband let me paint our house like this?” 🤔 It felt like the perfect end to part 1 of my Neon series. I promise I will start working on part 2 of the series once we’re no longer sheltering in place! 🤩 In the meantime, you can see all the houses from this series I’m the #ASideofNEON highlight in my profile. 🌈 📍 Outer Mission, San Francisco (Photo taken in February) #ASideofSF #sanfrancisco #onlyinsf #streetsofsf #howsfseessf
