Something to make you smile and miss New York. The moment 50,000 lights were turned on at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. Shot with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. My Sony video is not great in low light. Hope Santa brings me a Sony FX30 🎅📹🙏

This is what he came back with after a week with his family and God— destroying other peoples’ families.

Hunter maintaining his sobriety the past 4 yrs despite the guilt he must feel over his addiction being weaponized against the one person who has loved him unconditionally, even in his darkest days, has me emotional. I hope one day Hunter can find the love for himself that his father has for him…
