The repercussions of ICE are causing deep harm to beloved family pets. Meet Eclipse, a well cared for pup who was left without a home after his family was deported by ICE. @embracingecho shares his story @codeofruben
Happy Birthday Marines. You molded me into who I am today — I will always love and miss these people 🫡 #semperfi #eatcrayons #heartandsoul #whiskeytravels #1234unitedstatesmarinecorp #veteransday #hesamarine #justboys #disabledvet #playedthegame #igetfreefoodsoon #2025marinecorpsmarathon
We never expected a new family member so soon — but after hearing his story and how his entire family was deported leaving him stray for 3 days, we knew he belonged with us. The fear of deportation has carved deep wounds in our community; we’ve watched people wait decades, face sudden removals, and suffer in detention. Still, these neighbors are the hands and hearts that care for us every day — our nurses, cooks, babysitters, mail carriers — and we see the good they bring.
We don’t know exactly how his family was taken, but we see the loneliness it left behind. I hope they see this and know he’s safe and loved.
After he came into our home, I knew exactly why he was here. Not only does he balance the other dogs in our family so well, but he reminds me to appreciate what I have.
I expected to have a well bred puppy next but life has a way of giving you what you need.
And as to his name:
🐾We created a voice that carried and rippled with a special boy named “Echo.”
🐾gained strength and resilience; climbing what felt like the tallest mountain of illness and trauma with a boy named “Everest.”
🐾And now that we are at the top of this mountain, we can take a deep breath, transition into a new cycle of life, unity, and balance while watching the most amazing boy “Eclipse.”
Welcome to our forever home, Eclipse. We already love you so, so much. 🌑

Halston is autistic and has always struggled with intense environments and loud metal sounds (like on rollercoasters or kid rides with metal sounds). However, she tends to feel safer with the dogs. We’ve all been through so much and these moments together mean the world. 🥺
🎢✨ When the real rides are off-limits, creativity takes the wheel. Our family built a magical, accessible roller coaster experience right at home. ❤️🎉

Welcome to the world sweet Payson 🦋
She arrived on July 17th at 4:30am and is 34 weeks. We are so happy to finally have all 3.8 pounds of her in our arms.
Happy Birthday Payson Solédad Torres Santos ✨👼🏻
Thank you @allieblaylockphotography for visiting us and taking such sweet photos of these first moments 🥺
Big surprise! Baby #2 is arriving NEXT MONTH. It’s been so hard keeping this secret for 8 MONTHS but I’m excited to finally share! 👼🏻🍼 #pregnancyannouncement #growingfamily
A secret that has been baking for 6 months now. 🤭♥️
I found out about this little rockstar on the same day I found out I had Covid back in September. Some of you already know about my health conditions that severely complicated the combination of both Covid and pregnancy. In short, being immunocompromised with Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome caused Covid to develop a blood clot in my lungs as well as an internal bleed during this time. I think I had Covid for a little over a month and epilepsy along with some other debilitating diagnoses, really effected my health. We didn’t know what the future would hold for baby. Our family and ourselves personally enjoyed the time we had when everything wasn’t out for the world to know and was just our secret but now that baby is completely developed and just growing, it’s time to share this amazing news.
Baby Torres will be here May 2022 and we are all so excited. 🥰
Thankfully, my health has excelled towards more positive days now. Ruben and I have been on the greatest adventure together that just keeps getting better. ❤️
Baby Torres, we have the biggest village of people waiting for you. You have been the coolest and strongest kid I could ask for and we can’t wait to officially meet you face to face. 🥰 #welcomebaby
Merry Christmas everybody! 🎄🎁 from traveling across the country, to visiting Busch staduim and njp’d it’s been a crazy year but I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side ❤️
