The birthday of my sweet angel pup, Mademoiselle Maisy Marshmallow. My mom got her for me in 06 after my ectopic pregnancy so in a way, she is very much, my baby.
the day I brought her home:


now:

The birthday of a dear friend. Todd was the kindest soul. He was always the guy at the party that would break up fights. He wanted everyone to coexist peacefully even if they didn't like each other. He was ALWAYS there with a hug and a smile for anyone that needed it.
On July 28th, 2001, as a cop was pulling him over, he crashed his motorcycle. He was killed instantly.

words cannot express the grief of losing somebody so bright so early.
I consider myself blessed to have known him.

The day my grandmother passed away.
I never lived in the same city as my grandparents so as a result, I didn't spend much time with them. I didn't get to know her as well as I would have liked. I probably know more about her from asking my father, than actually talking to her myself. Despite our distance, she has supported me in everything I have accomplished and we always kept in touch. She was tenacious and stubborn which probably explains why she lived to 93.
