33 years ago, the Monday after Easter, my baby boy had heart surgery. I wrote sometime after, “I was only 21 years old myself and felt my life would most certainly end if he didn’t wake from surgery. I barely knew him, really, but I knew my life relied upon his.”
A pic of him then.

Continued thread

I'm incredibly #grateful that honing my patience & being unwilling to date anyone who didn't meet my basic quality companion standards for years, has finally paid off.
I'd been devalued, dehumanized & traumatized by NT white guy partners (and their super colonial/bigoted family members) in the past & didn't want to make same personal choice errors for companionship in my present life. Especially after recovering from those past relationship traumas, regaining my self worth & promising to myself that I'd never discount myself for anyone, ever again. I promised myself that I'd wait & be open to a new intimate companionship, only if the person met my basic standards, is an open & honest communicator, isn't an ableist, respects who I am fully & completely & understands/supports my lifelong commitment to being an active humanitarian - with deep needs to contribute to community works.

I feel my patience & personal adherence to my core values, has rewarded me with an amazing connection to a fellow creative & big hearted NT mixed Indigenous man, who always tells me how much he appreciates my presence in his life & how he loves all my quirks/oddities. I feel truly valued, just for who I am, quirks n all 💗

I am glowing with joyful feelings 🥰

:parrot_sad: Ow my.....
I'm already an emotional wreck. I try to keep thinking positive, to keep focus on the good times that we may still be able to share...
But that little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me that "this may be the last time that...". And I *know* I should not go there... But I'm just so scared of losing her... 💔

And now, slowly, some support is coming in. :ablobcatheartsqueeze: and every notification brings me to tears... :moomin_sad: partially sad tears because I know the time is running out... Also, partially happy tears , because people care for me and Arwen. People think we're important enough to get this support... However sad the reasons may be...

I can never thank you with my words. I feel they will always be insufficient... If that makes sense...

But we're at €290/€400 now, and it means that I, hopefully, will be able to bring her back home, after her soul has crossed the 🌈 bridge...

As I mentioned in the update on GoFundMe, it would be amazing is we could raise enough to also make a start for the costs for the ash-pendant. But... Getting her the private cremation and urn, and taking her home, those will be most pressing, once she's passed... When I've got the ashes, I can save for the ash-pendant to wear her close to my heart forever....

Thanks ever so much for all your support! :bear_love: Arwen and I really appreciate all you do for us... :bear_nuzzle:

I'll try to keep sharing all the Arwen pics I can, both here and on Pixelfed. Because she is worth it... :purple_heart_sparkle:

For those that want to make me so some more, the link to the GoFundMe is gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen :neomouse_hug_blahaj_heart:

Thank you all for the continued support and positive vibes—it truly means the world to me. Can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes me! 💫

🐾💔 In Loving Memory of Bear 🐾💔

On November 3, 2024, our lives were forever changed when our sweet minx kitten, Bear, joined our family. She brought endless joy and love, but recently faced a sudden illness that led to a heartbreaking goodbye.
We are seeking support to cover her farewell expenses. If able, please click the link to donate. Your kindness means the world to us.
