3 years ago I decided to go to Rock Castle in Czechia because my favorite band was playing. I didn't know a lot of the bands on the line up, so I looked them all up. One of those bands was @evergreyofficial and I instantly fell in love (coincidentally that festival was also the first time I saw Hammerfall live). After the festival I told myself if they ever play in Canada, I'm going, no matter where it is. That's what spawned the idea for this trip. 3000 KMs certainly isn't the furthest I've gone for a concert, it's technically not even the furthest I've gone to see Evergrey, but I still made an awesome weekend cross country trip out of it. AND I'D DO IT AGAIN. 🤘🖤🇸🇪 taken in Montreal, Quebec by @van.haleyy

I know I posted it in a story, but it deserves to be on my timeline permanently.

It's been absolutely incredible seeing so many heartfelt tributes to Andy over the past few days. Seriously. So many. I have never, ever seen my feed so full of love and beautiful memories about one person. Not even after Dolly Parton died. Every second or third post on my feed has been about Andy for days.

Maybe I just follow a lot of people who knew and loved him, or maybe he was just that special of a person. Most likely it's a bit of both.

I only met him a handful of times, but for the few minutes our paths did cross, he was the nicest guy you could ever want to meet. He made you feel like you were friends for 5 minutes, even if you had never met him before, and maybe never would again.

Genuinely haven't felt this shook by someone's death in a very long time. Our world lost one big, bright light.

I can't believe it's been a year.

I'm not ready to accept that a year has gone by without you, Pip. 💔

To say it's been hard is an understatement. I still look at photos and videos of Pip everyday and can't believe I'll never get to hold him again, or hear him purring beside me, or see his sweet little face looking up at me with his big eyes. I still cry every day missing him more than I have ever missed anything in the world. I still can't sit in the spot on the couch where he took his last breath in my arms.

I still think about the what ifs. I still feel the guilt of failing him by going to a dishonest vet. I know there was no way I could have known they'd do what they did, but I still wonder if things could have been different if I'd have taken him somewhere else. And now I have this weird added later of guilt having Lou, finding him fun toys and feeling guilty because Pip would have loved it and I never had a toy like that for him.

There's still so many little things in my home that I can't let go of. His bowl. I won't use it for Lou, it was Pip's. The cat bed he used to sleep on in my bed is still in his spot, I can't move it. His bed in the side table cabinet is still there, door open, Lou won't go near it. His house where he curled up to sleep and hide in his final days is still under my TV stand, Lou will peek his head in sometimes but then darts out as if something scared him off... I believe Pip is still there, and that's where he's chosen to stay and watch over me.

He was and still is so much more than just a pet to me. He was my best friend, my family, my rock, he showed me more unconditional love and care than I have ever felt in my life, and I'm not sure I'll ever find that again. There's a giant hole in my heart without him here that will never, ever heal.

I love you more than anything in the world, Pip. I miss you every single day. Nothing feels right without you here. 💔💔💔

Well this one surprised the hell out of me. @officialmattgood pulled out my all time favorite song he's ever written for the show tonight. I never thought he'd play this at a Stampede show, but damn am I happy he did ❤️ by @van.haleyy
