@JamieBonkiewicz @OccupyDemocrats The Knicks parade is a real sh*tshow. See @barstoolsports for how the NY fans are trashing the city.

I’ve been holding off for as long as I can on making this post, but I feel like I have to finally do it. This is Callie, affectionately known as my Callie girl. She passed away 22 days ago on May 22nd. I adopted her from a shelter on February 9th, 2017, just a bit over nine years ago.
Callie came into my life at a time when I was feeling intense loneliness and depression. She brought me immense comfort and consolation. From the start, she was a very loving and affectionate kitty. Over the years, she never wanted to be very far from me. I used to say she was stuck to me like Velcro. I was never able to be apart from her for very long and would miss her terribly when I was. She was the center of my life for all these years.
Back in 2023, I nearly lost her to a pancreas infection that required almost daily vet visits for the better part of a month. But she bounced back, thankfully. Earlier this year in February, she started exhibiting symptoms like withdrawing and not eating or using the litter box. Another vet visit gave hope and she again seemed to bounce back for a while, before the symptoms started again. At the beginning of May, I took her back again and she had lost 4 pounds. That day, the vet recommended an abdominal ultrasound, but when I called to schedule, they said it would be the beginning of June before they could get her in. Two more weeks went by with things seemingly getting worse, including a seizure and dry heaving. Another vet visit on the 21st came with the conversation about euthanasia likely being the most likely outcome.
The morning of the 22nd, I spent the last few hours with her in our apartment before taking her to be put down. This was my first time having to do this, and the entire experience was absolutely soul crushing. Spending those last few minutes with her in my arms, letting her know that she would always and forever be my Callie girl, holding her wrapped in the blanket. I can barely talk about it without breaking down in tears. To let her go, and leave without her, was the most heartbreaking moment in my entire life.
Things have been extremely difficult to come to terms with in the three weeks since, even with the comfort of having her ashes in the home. I feel completely broken and lost without her. I hope it gets better, but right now it doesn’t feel like it will.
If you have read all of this, thank you. This post is mainly to help me process, but I hope it is helpful for anyone else out there too.

I’m thrilled that they’re getting it right, but tell me why Peter and Harriet Phillips have been married 5 minutes, and the press calls her “Harriet Phillips” but 15 years later they’re still saying “Kate Middleton”? Why? #PrincessCatherine #PrinceandPrincessofWales
