This past year, we’ve been away for a deeply personal reason.
Mario’s stepdad was battling dementia, and his mom was fighting brain cancer. We stepped back from everything to be there for them—to care for them, support them, and spend as much time together as possible.
In the span of 11 months, we lost them both.
It’s been an incredibly difficult time, and we’re still finding our way through the grief. But we’re grateful we were able to be present for them in their final chapters.
We also want to say thank you—to everyone who reached out, supported us, or simply gave us the space we needed. Your kindness and understanding have meant more than we can put into words.
We’re slowly coming back, and we truly appreciate you being here.
With love,
Mario and Ansley
