YOU ARE SAFE The past 100 days have been incredibly difficult and filled with some of life’s most challenging obstacles. There was a degree of triumph after receiving my sweet mother home from the hospital in November. But, death seemed to linger in the shadows of its good news waiting to put its crooked finger on one more thing close to my heart. Chula came crashing into my into my life on a cold night in 2017. She was abandoned in the street, covered in fleas and riddled with worms. She was sitting next to her deceased sibling. Chula instantly became a member our family. We loved on her carefully one day at a time until she became fully healthy. She was a tuff 10 lbs and spirited with sass. As @atealia and I witnessed this little miracle grow before our eyes, I was always mindful of how she entered this world. I often found myself reminding her that she was safe. On Christmas evening, Chula left this world and became an angel. She was four years old. The news on that evil night was polarizing — it left me shocked me to my core. Every day since then, I’ve surrendered to the way she expanded the boundaries of my heart. I’ll never fully understand why things like this happen, but I’m confident knowing that Chula now rests in the safest place. Until we see each other again — you’re safe my sweet girl.
