Anything, but Ordinary

My birthday message for Lou Ferrigno Jr.

Everyone grieves differently. Some people want to grieve in private and other people want to express their grieving by talking about the person that has passed.

Towards the end of March, there was a video that was leaked online of a major spoiler for 911. It had appeared that there was going to be a death of a major character since the 118 was dressed up to do a funeral possession with his turnouts on the back of the fire engine.

When it comes to autism, there are so many things that go inside our heads. We have so many ideas and so many things we want to do and sometimes, we just have to get creative on how to process those thoughts and ideas.

He finally felt like his
