A month ago this evening we lost our perfect sweet angel girl Nugget. In the span of 48 hours she went from playing with her brother to her heart just not being able to hold on any longer. She had just turned 5 a few weeks earlier. We got her knowing that our time with her was limited, being born with 4 heart conditions... but I wasnāt ready. There hasnāt been a day that I havenāt cried. Most days I canāt help but sob. I know everyday will get easier, but she was just so fucking special. Itās so unfair that we got so little time with her. It all feels so surreal. I canāt believe Iāve lived a month without her already.
She was my heart.
Mogwhai I had for almost 18 years and he taught me patience and selflessness. In the short time I had with my girl, she opened my heart and taught me love in a way that Iāve never felt. But I know sheās still with me. Hawks, butterflies and hummingbirds have been following me everywhere I go - letting me know sheās watching over me, that sheās okay and that I will be too.
Iāve been spending time testing a new editing tool some close friends are building and Iām really loving the process. Itās fast, fluid, has really pleasing results, and I have a feeling itāll end up challenging a very big name. Itās called @apheraphoto , go give them a follow!
Speaking of friends, hereās Jed and his dog, equally wiped at @manualfocusshow .
It sure was was fun seeing lots of old Austin buddies at @manualfocusshow this weekend. Hereās @theaaronross and the first car Iāve actually enjoyed seeing red for the interior, and itās a whole lot of red!
Our gorgeous, perfect little girl has turned five! This is a big dealā¦ she was born with heart disease, which then caused her to also develop kidney disease and dogs like her typically only live to be about three years old. In the words of her vet, āNugget is defying science.ā Weāre so grateful for this sweet little angel. Sheās the funnest, silliest, sweetest best little thing ever. And after losing my Mogwhai, she really helped heal my heart. So incredibly grateful that sheās doing well today after so many ups and downs over the years. Sheās a fighter if nothing else. Probably why we connect so hard. ā¤ļø Love this little girl so much.
Some BTS of @theaaronross and @darryltocco doing their thing last month at @kindredmotorworks . Itās been rad to work with some old friends as I transition into the car world from bikes, and even incorporate some art into the mix. @manualfocusshow is next week, hope to see some Texas friends there!
