wow, may!

May has been so full of stuff, it has passed by entirely too quickly! Michael had his grad party, graduation, started his training with his new career, and turned 18! Pretty big time for him!! 👏 Millie also celebrated her 4th birthday!!! Her first birthday with a family!!

We’ve been staying busy with the lawn, creating our own little oasis, and putting together our memorial garden for Joonbug ❤️

My loves ❤️

I struggle to put into words how much I adore my dog babies. I’m forever grateful for these fur covered angels.

In therapy, my therapist and I have been working on my cPTSD using Present Focused Therapy, and I’ll be honest, it’s been rough.
It takes a lot out of you to revisit trauma, you know?
With each session, I feel I understand myself and others a little better. I’ve also realized there’s this constant theme of loneliness throughout my entire life. A bigger kind of loneliness, it’s all encompassing, the kind you have when you feel no one on earth could possibly understand you. Not even if they really tried. But most won’t.

I have always felt dogs were so full of love, they have an endless capacity for you and all your mistakes, all your faults. They understand you because they desperately want to. And I want that, too.

Anyway, all this to say, we simply don’t deserve these precious souls ❤️
