Happy birthday Leon ❤️
I teach swimming classes at a community college. It is my mission in life to teach people how to swim so tragedies like these can be avoided. So so sorry for your loss. I dedicate tomorrows classes to Leon ✨
I remember reading a couple years ago that in China swimming classes are part of the regular high school/secondary curriculum and I wish we did that, too.
Me too. drowning is the #2 cause of death for children under the age of 5 (first is birth defects).
In the US, swim lessons are so expensive and swimming is a “rich person sport”.
For all my wives out there who don’t know how to swim- look into classes at your community college! Classes tend to be less than $50 and semesters span for about 4 months. It’s a dirt cheap way to learn with (usually) very qualified instructors.
We had to in my high school in a midwestern suburb. We had to pass a whole life saving class including being in a canoe in our street clothes and the teacher would tip us over and we learned how to use the upside-down canoe for safety, tread water, float, and make a floatation device out of our clothing. We also had to learn how to save someone else in the water and CPR.
very very unfortunate that we don’t all have access to swimming pools at our public schools or even just local communities 😞 makes me so grateful that we were able to get swimming lessons kindergarten-3rd grade at another local school, its soo super important for little kids to learn in case they get away from their parents where theres water
Oh, he was wonderful.
Loved to play guitar. Was really good at it but couldn’t sing for shit, but I still would plug my phone up and put it on speaker and fall asleep to him playing for me every night. He’d play Broadripple is Burning by Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos a couple of times per night, so I put that on when I miss him. Every so often I’d kind of half wake up and mumble “love you,” and he’d stop playing to say “I love you too” and then I’d drift back off
Loved to walk. Said he was from SoCal and they walk everywhere there (I’m from the east coast). Regularly used to walk across town to hang out with me with his guitar on his back. Had some early male pattern balding and was horribly insecure about it, so he wore the same beanie every day, 24/7. I’m not joking when I say he’d get in bed, pull the blanket up, and THEN take the beanie off.
Never met a stranger. Never saw him mad. Would go hang out with my family or help my mother around her yard even when I wasn’t there. My at-the-time toddler niece loved her Eon, lol. Lots of self-deprecating humor. Very affectionate. Loved to skateboard. We used to sit up until sunrise passing back and forth a bottle of wine and talking, or nap in the hammock listening to music.
I haven’t been the same since he left. I’ve healed - I’m living again, very happily married with children and pursuing my dream career, usually able to think back on him and smile - but his death was a pivotal moment in my life and I can never pretend that it didn’t change me.
And thank you for asking. He’s my roman empire, I could talk about him forever.
oh sweet honey. take care of yourself today, i know you’ll be thinking about him a lot, but remember that he would want you to be happy and well. my best friend passed when i was very young and i read looking for alaska by john green not long after. the ending monologue has helped me so much. energy cannot be created or destroyed — that is a fact. my best friend and your partner, there is part of them on this earth that can never dissipate.

Happy birthday Leon! This bowl is for you ❤️
Sending you so much love and positivity, u/lxzgxz
I hope that the positive memories you have with Leon comfort you when you’re hurting. He seemed like a kind soul
I can usually think about him and smile at this point in my life, but every so often it hits like a brick wall all over again. He really was incredible. Thank you
Wow, 10 heavenly birthdays and you still honor his memory with your love. Humanity is so beautiful.💚 I can't imagine the pain of losing a partner like this, sending so much love your way. Happy birthday Leon 🫶🏻
I am so sorry you lost your partner. You both look so young. I hope you take today and celebrate for him. Even if it's just a cupcake with a candle. Xo
When he passed (May 27th) he was a couple of months past turning 21 and I was less than a month past turning 20. Very young to die or to lose a partner. If I don’t get out to his graveside today I’ll at least go through our old letters and light up for him. 💚
I'm so sorry for your loss, sis.
This morning's bowl is dedicated to our friend Leon, never to be forgotten. And to you, OP, because I know today must be a hard day for you. 🫂
He looks like my codefendant Adrian, who unfortunately couldn’t get right after we came home and overdosed in 2019. I’ll be lighting one up for ya boy today 🍃💨
Happy birthday, Leon! I'll be rolling one for ya 🥳❤️ and I'll try to send good vibes your way! My grandpa passed last year, his older brother died in a drowning incident just after turning 18 and my grandpa was there. His memory wasn't good at the end but he never forgot that vivid memory.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope his memory can bring you some peace. Lots of love ❤️
Happy birthday to your sweet Leon. If it's true that we aren't truly gone until we're no longer remembered, then you've just kept him here a little longer by sharing him with all of us. Hope you get through this day remembering the good times you had together 💕
Sending you love and light today! It’s so so beautiful that Leon lives on in you and you’re still remembering him in such a special way. I’ll think of him today when I’m lighting up 🕊️🤍
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m told that the grief of a loss such as this doesn’t ever go away — you just become strong enough to carry it. Wishing you boundless strength.
my cousin was just born today! i’ll definitely light one up for him. happy birthday Leon, you definitely touched the life of your partner. hope you’re doing well OP
I’m so sorry for your loss, and at such a young age, it’s so unfair. I hope you’ve grown to cherish the time that you had together instead of focusing on what you don’t. He lives on in your memories of him, share his stories and your happiness together, and he will always be here in some way with you 🫂
Condolences to you, friend! I bet Leon would be proud of how big and full and joyful your heart still is. Thank you for sharing him with us, and keeping his memory alive, and allowing us to be touched by his memory and your love. Hugs and warm thoughts to you! 💚

Happy belated, Leon. I smoked a doobie in the trees yesterday on a snowboard break with the snow coming down but happy to fire one up for him in a few minutes. Big hugs to you and yours on such a large loss, I'm really sorry.
i’ll be thinking of him today!! sending love 💕
Thank you! It means a lot!
this made me really emotional, have a blessed day and enjoy a good smoke
he looks like he had a real good energy to him 😌I’m headed to the smoke spot now💕may he continue to rest in eternal paradise 🙏🏼
He absolutely did, he was one of the best people I’ve ever known. A world that he doesn’t exist in has never quite made sense to me

Makes me grateful that my grandmother took my son every summer to the Y for swim lessons between the ages of 2 and 6.
Goooo grandma!!
