A little over a year ago I posted about this Dutch oven that I almost saved from my dad's estate sale but he swiped it back from me after I cleaned it up (I was cleaning it for the sale, he didn't know I was thinking about keeping it).

Well, Dad passed away in April and I've been low-key looking for this thing for like a month and a half. Last weekend I finally found it. In the barn. Getting rusty. Again. I have to keep it now for two reasons. One, it has too much of a story to give up now and two, if I find out that anyone let this damn thing get rusty again, I'm going to lose my shit!

If you love something set it free. If it returns, it was meant to be.

I tried that with my wife. I'm still paying all her bills like 15 years later. Got any other advice, friend?

Seek therapy.
