I think you have both in you. Not to mention the crashing waves symbolizing resilience.

I pray you come home safe and sound soon, Shay.

From Archie

I’m so sorry this is

happening to you, Shay.

From Corey

I drew you something, Shay! I was inspired by Daddy, but I went another route.

Meet Shay-Shay. He is fierce, sweet, and smirky. Like you!

From Greer

Everything I have to say can wait until I’m hugging you so tightly you’ll choke.

We’re bringing you home, sweetheart.

FROM WALKER & MACKLIN

From Walker

Iwish I had the words to describe how much you mean to this community, Shay.

Walking around the house these days is like seeing a dark shadow of its former glory.

May those who’ve harmed you die a thousand deaths, and may you come back stronger than ever.

River and Reese, take care of yourselves and each other. Bring your boy home.

Love,

Walker

From Macklin

Come home.

From Macklin

I’m trying to stay busy, but nothing’s working.

I miss you.

From Macklin

River and Reese, be safe or fucking else.

From Macklin

I can’t shake the anger. Those who took you, I hope they’re fucking dead. I mean, they should be. I’m following the news religiously. Can’t stop scrolling. Someone is at least killing a bunch of guys in California, and I have my fingers crossed for two men.

From Macklin

By the way, there might be a rumor going around about me. That I lost my edge in the kitchen. This is fake news. I was just going through something. It’s all good now. Sort of. Please come home.
