When I was working at the group home way back in the day, (when I was 19ish) I almost had to quit bc my living situation wasn’t working out.

My boss at the time (because turnover is so heartbreakingly high in those places) said they couldn’t afford to lose me, and asked me to come live with her until I got that sorted.

So I did. I stayed with her and her husband for a few months and it was a blast 😂. They were hilarious and sweet and obviously loved each other very dearly, having been married for like 6 or 7 years already.

He was reliable and sweet. The sort of man who would come help if my car broke down. (I mean - I know this because he DID come help 😂).

I had his number along with hers in case I ran into trouble.

And it’s worth noting here, too, that I was a 19 year old girl living with them and he never made me feel unsafe or uncomfortable, never made any inappropriate gestures or moves etc etc.

By all counts - this was an honorable man 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Anyway, a little while after I moved out, she got pregnant. It was the best news ever - they had been trying for a baby for so long !!

But then… he did the same thing in this post?! He GHOSTED so hard 😭. We were all completely blindsided. I was even trying to text him like “dude where ARE you??”

It’s been almost 20 years and none of us have ever heard from him again beyond dude-friends assuring us he’s fine and safe.

It’s the saddest thing. I still can’t comprehend it. There’s this precious little boy who looks exactly like him who is (I just realized while typing this) almost all grown up now.

Dude missed everything 💔.
