2006 - 2021

On 8/22/21, I had to say goodbye to my partner in life. The one who has known me like no one else. The one who has seen me on my worst and my best. The one who has stood by my side, and until the last minute, fought to stay with me. The one who was so small but still carried the biggest heart, big enough to love all of me.

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have you in my life for 15 years! Life wasn't always easy for us, but you kept me going. When Toby came into our lives, you were both my priority and source of motivation at the same time. At times when there was no energy left, you were the reason why I kept pushing through.

I am so happy that you got to see our house. Unfortunately, Toby left us too soon and wasn’t a part of that wonderful experience. After all those years of hardship and hard work, we finally got a place of our own. It was a big accomplishment for us. I know you felt at home, and I know you were proud of me too. I have to say that I couldn’t have done it without you.

You were everything to me: my best friend, my partner, my confidant, my purpose. You gave me the closest experience to feel what motherhood is all about (with diaper change and all). You have changed my life, and it will be tough to learn to live this life without you.

Thank you! Thank you for the unconditional love, devotion, and commitment. You will always be my favorite little stalker.

Love you, always.
