Feb 3rd and the beginning of losing two of my best friends Dyna and Sabine

Feb. 3rd of 2020 I was beginning to prepare for the inevitable of having to have Dyna put to sleep after 19 years in my life from failing kidneys. I was lucky to have had her friendship that long. 4 days later from the day I took these photos on February 7th of 2020 I said goodbye. I unfortunately was not allowed that much time to grieve although my friend Sabine understood as she suffered the loss as I did. July 1st of the same year I was given news that I'd be losing my friend Sabine after 7 solid years of her in my life as well. I was only away from her for a month and a half in that time. Unfortunately I was going to lose her which I realized it was all out of my control. It seemed as if I was living in a bad dream. One year to the day Sabine on July 1st, 2021 passed away as well. I will definitely say I have never spent better time in my life than with these 2 lovely creatures. Which is why after dealing with the grief and loss of their friendships I felt the need to get their names tattooed on me of a reminder this year of where I am at and for knowing the true obstacles I've overcome. They taught me the true meaning of friendship, unconditional love and truly the most remarkable thing I could never repay them for but the love for being present in life. I have suffered a lot of loss in my life. However, the loss of theirs will always be the most missed as they were there in times when others were not. I will love them forever which I knew they knew. I can't say I don't miss them nor do I not think about them daily. Although I know without a doubt I could of never been a better friend to them. Which is why I'm glad we celebrated life together almost everyday. They were my friends. They were my kids. They were my family. They were my everything. That is why I'm thankful knowing who I am. Anyone who knew me knows that. No one could say anything differently. Because that's the truth. I look forward to showing some future projects which will immortalize them forever and give back to other creatures in their name. It is because of them I still believe in myself as a friend and as someone of compassion regardless of how this world can seem to be.
