Today is not a day that I acknowledge you not being here — it’s a day that I celebrate the time when you were here. Of course I miss you dearly, how could I not, you were the strongest, bravest, toughest, funnest, funniest and most lovingest human being, I’ve ever known. But today, I choose to honor that courage, and that unmistakable “Alma attitude”, that always shined through — even in the most difficult of times. I love you mom. As always, your Baby Donnie. #ThankfulForAlma #TeamAlma

#ThrowbackThursday Sometime back in 1988, I cut these jeans up myself. Trying to, as I often did, come up with something unique to wear when performing with this crazy new band that I helped form. I bought them with some money I’d earned while working at my after school job (which wasn’t very much), so I kind of had to get them right — or just go with it, even if I got them wrong. The first time I wore them, I felt both very cool and very self conscious. Not quite ready to own my individuality, while also being very aware of the need to establish myself as an individual. I guess that dichotomy is just part of growing up. Something we all experience at some point. Figuring things out, while figuring ourselves out. Making due with what we have, while trying to figure out exactly who we are. To be honest — I haven’t always looked back on these jeans fondly (or maybe it’s actually some of the videos that I wasn’t fond of, and the jeans were just guilty by association), but when Jenny and I found them in storage (after assuming they were long gone), a lot of emotion came up inside of me. Shock. Gratitude. Amazement. It also had me reflecting on the early struggles — all the dumb stuff that we used to worry about as a band and the humble beginnings from which we came. It all had me very emotional. Mostly though, I felt this great rush of excitement knowing that I’d be able to share what I’d found with all of you — my Blockhead Family! You have been by my side since these jeans were a thing (if they actually ever were “a thing”). I literally couldn’t wait to share this discovery with you (as evidenced by the fact that I didn’t bother to save them for #BlockCon). Anyway, all I ever wanted to do back then was find my way (even if I never knew exactly where I was trying to find my way to). I’m so grateful to have realized that I was simply trying to find my way to this amazing bond that we all share. I think of you all, and am thankful for you all, every single day. The moment that I unearthed these jeans was no different. See you next week. I can’t wait. Love you my Blockhead Family! 🤖❤️♾💫✨🤟🏼 Saint Charles, Illinois

15 years ago today — at 8:21 am — New Kids On The Block, and our beloved Blockheads, became one again! It was the reunion that we all wanted (but never knew how badly we all needed), and none of our lives have been the same since! The journey is not over, far from it, but the last 15 years have been (without question) some of the most magical, wonderful, surprising, gratifying, overwhelming, fulfilling and truly humbling experiences, that I will ever be blessed to have in this — or any other lifetime. This video brought back so many of those special memories — and makes me so hopeful for the many more we have yet to share! We’re on to forever, Blockheads! Let’s not waste a single moment! I love you forever my Blockhead family. I love you my @nkotb brothers. I love you @jaredaripaul! Thank you to all who have played a part in this most sacred journey. I’m so #thankful. 🤖❤️♾💫✨🤟🏼

Yesterday — April 4 — was not only #NKOTBReunionDay, it also happened to be the day that we officially wrapped Season 13 of #BlueBloods. I can’t tell you all how fortunate I am to work with such an amazing cast & crew, nor can I ever properly express my gratitude to them and to all of you — our loyal fans & viewers! I can, however, promise to keep working my ass off to show you how incredibly thankful I am for this most wonderful opportunity to be welcomed into your homes (with my TV family) each week, to be part of your lives and to have you as part of mine — and to be so blessed to do what I love to do everyday. Thank you! On to Season 14! See you in July! Let’s go! @bluebloods_cbs @cbstv 🤖❤️♾💫✨🤟🏼 🎥: @thereggieice Brooklyn, New York

Finally got my own @nkotb @originalfunko “New Kids On The Block” collection, and they are PERFECT! 💯🎯🤯❤️🔥 Now, do I place them in a time capsule in my backyard, display them at The Blockhead Clubhouse or gift them to a Blockhead? 🤔 Decisions. Decisions. 🤖❤️♾💫✨🤟🏼

Five years ago today, this photo was taken. Erin, and so many Blockheads, braved the awful weather conditions to share moments and memories. My mom Alma was there, too. Praying that she is giving Erin the biggest hug right now — along with all of our BH family angels. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Erin. Rest peacefully, my dear friend. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️😔 🤖❤️♾💫✨🤟🏼
