Oh my sweet one I am so sorry.

Yay! Congratulations! It sounds like the two of you have exactly what it takes for a happy marriage!

Thank you so much. My dad isn’t getting hospice care yet, but I guess that’s something that we’ll be preparing for. It’s good to know that celebrations like this are common and welcome. It’s all overwhelming, but I have to make it happen, because you’re right--photos and memories of him at the wedding are priceless.

Absolutely fuck those people. I’m sorry you’re having to put up with this - flag and dismiss those people, and know that many of us are rooting for you, and know that Ollie had a wonderful mum in you.

I miss my dog way more than I miss my dead mother and if people think I am a monster they can go fuck themselves. I understand your pain. I am so sorry about Ollie.

It almost sounds like she shops as a way to compensate for not having a partner or as a means of stress relief. Does she have a history of other people bailing her out? (Asking because she sounds like the irresponsible friends I’ve known who happen to have emergency access to family money). If you’ve already tried,…

Maya, you pay attention to your friends.

Oh, people can be so horrible, just for the sake of being horrible. I’ll never understand that. Anyway, you’re my friend so get it together, trolly trolls out there, and leave Miss Maya alone. People who snark about deceased pets and people who love them are among the worst types of humans

Oh ElimiRPG, I’m really sorry about your dad. Is he getting hospice care? If not, when the time comes, I highly recommend looking into a local not-for-profit hospice agency (and NOT a for-profit agency) because they can help your dad and the whole family with a wide range of services. They even offer grief counseling,…

Thank you!

Do it, and do it sooner rather than later. Your fiance should do his proposal asap (or maybe you could agree he’ll do a big romantic gesture for the honeymoon or something to make a story to tell?) I seriously doubt your parents will consider it a distraction in a bad way, it sounds like it will be a lovely,…

I have seen your posts for a while now and you seem like good people, internet stranger/cat lover. I had to make sure you knew the Clark Kent disguise is not really a good disguise at all. I got your back, fam.

Don't ever stop with your captions. You spend the time with the cats. All we see are the pictures. Your captions are crucial to us understanding your interactions and their personalities. 

Here is my advice: quit worrying about what people think. They care far less than you think they do. Have whatever kind of wedding you want, doing (or not doing) whatever you want. Unless your father’s diagnosis is a state secret, it will be obvious to everyone, including your parents, why you are having a small,…

As a former retail worker in the wedding industrial complex, you are absolutely right about planning a small wedding. My partner and I were married by a magistrate and we are going on 20 plus years together. Our families supported us in our decision, and like you, we were considering the wishes of a very ill family…

If you ever film yourself in a porn or doing something illegal and you want to be unrecognizeable please do not try to conceal your identity that way lol.

OMG I had no idea people can be such assholes. I totally understand what you did for Ollie. There are certain pets that are just part of our hearts and you do whatever you need to do, whether it be screaming at the top of your lungs for days or spending money you can’t afford, to ease the pain even a little bit. Eight …

I’m so sorry about your dad, but for what it’s worth I think you have the right idea about the wedding--weddings should celebrate the people we love. My advice, such as it is, is to ask your dad’s input.  It might give him something happy to think about, and it’s a loving thing.  A friend of mine got married in her…

Oh shit, Maya, those people really are insult to injury,aren’t they? nd they’re also full of shit. There are too many people out there who want to diminish love and to take away what gives us strength. It’s evil.

Fuck those twats right off, Maya. I will always spend my last dollar on my babies. My heart breaks for you honey, Ollie was such a special little fellow. He'll never truly leave you but I know that is small comfort while it's still so raw. Just keep dismissing the fuckers and let yourself grieve. ❤
