I posted here back in March, but in 6 days it will be five months since linny left us and today's been hard for me, I was close to linny we dated for a few months and then off and on for some more, we made some really great memories together and I will always care about and love him, we wernt as close when he left us we didn't talk since January/febuary ish of 2023, but I see him in my dreams lately and hear his laugh in my head when I see something that reminds me of him, I will always cherish these memories with him that I had, we talked all hours of the day and nights about anything from computers to boomers or even what sea creatures we enjoyed best, what we wanted to do with our lives, and we also talked about the stuff in our lives we built a friendship and bond no one could ever replace and I really do miss them so much. more then I ever could explain. but I hope all is well with everyone who knew and loved him, I am always here for you all even if we never met or talked <3 photos of me and linnaeus have been showing up and memories of when he asked if I have a color chart for emotions towards my hair when I dye it, to telling him to leave his room at the cottages to hang out with me or catch frogs with me or just go look at the sky, he would send me photos of the sky or animals or just random things because he knew I enjoyed them. he is forever in my heart and soul

Me and Lenny where not exactly as close as the other guys in the cottages but we had a lot of fun when he decided to hang out with me and the other guys.I´ll never forget the nights we would go out and play manhunt on campus. I swear me, Seth and Payton could never find him cause once he went into the shadows he just disappeared. I would go to him to get cords for my phone or for help with computer stuff. I remember one time me and Ben where pestering him because he wouldn´t open the door to his room and we sat there with our faces on the cracks of the door whispering "open the door" and trying to bribe him to open the door as a joke. He was a funny dude too. sometimes I would be in the kitchen and me and him would go back and forth just saying the word perhaps, those where fun times and I will miss him and those times very dearly.

Maria, Gillian, it has been so long since we've seen you. It is painful that these are the circumstances under which I reach out, and it is devastating that these are the circumstances. Linnaeus was not yet taller than you, Maria, the last time we saw you. Gil and Suz were wee ones. Even at Linnaeus' young age there was an awareness about him that always stood out, I would say he seemed like an "old soul" but that doesn't do it justice. I remember Linnaeus being so sweet and caring, so tender with animals and always ready to help. He could be shy or quiet sometimes, but then when he smiled or laughed he brought the whole room along with him. Magnetic, disarming, reliable. Linnaeus, I pray that you are at peace, I pray that you are held by the great spirit and wrapped in so much love.

Linnaeus, I feel such a sense of loss knowing you´re gone. You were always so gentle and kind and such a bright light. I remember you making a gingerbread house with my kids, and you were so patient while Amelia just ate all the icing. You always had a Buddha energy to you. How much fun you all had playing water fights in our backyard. I remember you sleeping in the closet in Florida You were so, so special, and the world is less without you in it. You really did shine at times. I loved to see you smile. You were the best big brother, and so good with my littlest one, too. I am devastated you´re gone. The world needed you. You sometimes seemed wise beyond your years. I wanted my kids to know you as you all became adults. I know you would have added so much to the our lives. I would have loved to see the man you would become. I miss you, Linnaeus. It´s not fair at all that you´re gone. It feels so wrong, I wish you were here. I am sending you all my love and light and peace. And all my love and light and peace to your family, too.
