Nothing can prepare you for losing a pet. Absolutely nothing. I brought Jabba home in my very early 20s, after she had been living in a shelter for over 400 days. I fell in love with her at first sight. She was so incredibly sweet, only wanting to love and be loved. She had an energy that was so pure and all she wanted was to smother everyone she met with 1,001 kisses, which she carried into her old age. Jabba was the absolute best companion I could ask for. Nothing could prepare me to lose her. "Devastation" can't even begin to define the emptiness I feel in my heart. My sweet, sweet girl. I'm so sorry that I couldn't cure you.. that I couldn't prepare either of us for what came on so suddenly.. On Tuesday, 10/24/23, my poor baby woke up in so much pain. After days of tests, rest, lots of heavy cuddles, and not leaving her side, we found the cause of her pain.. A huge, rapidly growing tumor on her liver. It was deemed cancerous, and fatality was in her very near future. I had to make one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, and I wanted to be with her in her last moments. So yesterday, 10/27/23, I gave her everything I could to make her as happy as possible. She got burgers, fries, ice cream, so many visitors, kisses upon kisses, a whole day of cuddle puddles. I held her until she passed away at the animal hospital that evening. Her last memory will be her dad holding her, stroking her beautiful face, telling her how good she was and how much she was loved. She went to her eternal sleep, knowing how proud of her I am. How strong she was. How perfect she was.
I love you so much, my sweet Jabba. Rest Easy sweetheart 💔😔

It's Trans Day of Visibility Y'all 🤠 🏳️⚧️
This timeline was wild to make. Seeing old photos is always a trip, remembering how I felt during these times and not understanding why I couldn't feel at home in my body. why I couldn't just be "me". I'll always love the younger me for surviving everything she went through to find myself today. she was a fighter.
I love seeing everyone's posts today. It warms my soul to see so many thriving trans folks on my page. With our community consistently the center of political debate and our rights to healthcare & basic human needs being threatened daily, it can be hard to keep morale up. But I am so fucking proud to see all of my trans brothers, sisters, & NB's making themselves seen today. I can not tell you enough how blessed I feel to have the support & love from my family, friends, and community to be my authentic self. It's a privilege that I acknowledge daily, and it breaks every piece of my heart to know that there are MANY folks out there who do not have the same. I see you. You are valid and valued. You matter. You belong. #tdov#transdayofvisibility
do silly things with silly people that you love 🥰 happy (belated) birthday to my dear friend & coworker @fadeitwithaddi , I'd do this 100 more times with you 😂 DALÉ!!
