The next morning after her first day of chemotherapy treatment (with mass doses of steroids and Benadryl) we’ve turned a corner. We’re having a good day. We have hope when we had none. Sprig was barely mobile, not eating, bloody urine and stool. Now she seems to have more energy and has regained her mobility and appetite. I think it’s a combination of getting the right treatment and also all of the positive energy from our friends. Keep sending us your love and good vibes ✨♥️⚡️
First time I laid eyes on you, I knew we belonged together. Even though there were so many chances for us to not be together, the Universe linked us. You have been the light of my life, the soul companion I needed through the heartbreaking loss of my Mom and life changes since. You are fading more quickly than my soul is prepared for. Knowing you are dying has prompted me to be absolutely present when I’m with you. On our walks I notice how nature has shown me that there is a cosmic understanding when life is fading. The other animals show reverence and connection in ways I have found so deeply moving. Your furry friends and nemeses you made in our little downtown neighborhood have given you their acknowledgments- the cat, the squirrels, the birds all having magical moments of connection with you. It’s been a wonder to watch. In losing you slowly I have been able to recognize that death is the natural order of life and I’m ever more grateful that you chose me as your person. Knowing your life has been slowly dimming while I was away weighed heavy on my spirit. But I’m home now. Me and your pappa @vj4thwall will see you off together. I love you more than there are stars in all of the galaxies. It will be unbearable to say goodbye. @lilsprig you are and will always be my baby girl. Heavy times ahead but I hope to give you the gentle care and loving support you have given me all of these years.
Witnessing magical little moments out in nature. Taking every moment in. Being present like never before. Soaking up my time with my precious Sprig. It’s like nature knows. The squirrels that used to run away on our walks all greet us with reverence, acknowledgement, connection.
