Because of you, I am a better woman. Because of you, I am a better mother. Because of you, I am still here. Because of you, my daughter is still alive. Your love for me, and everyone around you, made you the sun around which we all orbited. Your smile. Your laugh. Your “Fuck them!” Sharing with me your darkest day, even though we barely knew each other. I just cried with you and hugged. You said you appreciated the lack of empty platitudes. When I cried, “I don’t want to be alone”, you said “you’ll never be alone. You have us”. Laughed when he said we “don’t know if it’s a penis or a China”. You were in the room when she was born, gave her her first bath. You let me come over every day until I was healed. Some of the happiest days of my life…sunbathing, the kids playing in the pool, hot dogs and hamburgers and beer and music. I want to go back to those days and stay forever. Allowing me to feel like part of your family. Allowing our divorce, and then forgiving me, because you “knew I’d be back”. Teaching me how to be a daughter’s mother. Giving me the “you’re fucked” when it came to menopause. Never judging me or giving up on me when I pulled away because I finally found myself and stopped depending on you so damn much. Allowing my selfishness and saying “I know” when I admitted I was crying for myself, when I told you it was important to ME to tell you what you meant to me. Don’t know how long I’ll feel like I can’t do this without you. I know you would just laugh and say “You can”. Today, thank you is more important than I love you. Although my love for you will always be endless… The sister I never had. Forever our BeeBee. Brigid Becker Forever my friend… I know you’re here…
Last night was closing night of Bayley’s first musical performance of Les Miserábles. And her wonderful brother, Griffin, was there to champion her. These two are the two halves of my heart. You are looking at my complete heart here…my everything. I love you both to the moon and back… I luh yuh papis…times infinity. My doodlebug sr and doodlebug jr…🤍💜 #siblings #daughter #son #love #everything #musical #highschool #heart #congratulations #freshman #doodlebugjr #doodlebugsr

Good morning, sun salutations… #nugget #nuglife #dailynugget #mister #conure #conuresofinstagram #grateful #morning (Nuggie has spring fever and has been picking his feathers due to the surge in hormones. It can make these guys very neurotic sometimes. He has an implant that is helping to regulate and balance his hormones. So please don’t worry about his blotchy back and chest. He guud!) ✌🏼❤️

Why do the basic rules of American democracy provide a veto over national policy to a minority of the states? Please read the article in The Atlantic by Ronald Brownstein. And perhaps look into the history dating back to the early 19th century, Wyatt Earp’s time. Very interesting and eye opening investments. Let’s put the power to veto in the hands of the people. ALL of the people, not the just the people from smaller states, who primarily represent only a partisanship. These states honestly only represent the minority of people in America. And please read and do your research from MANY different resources. I’m not saying I’m right. I have a freedom, as is the right that is being used to justify certain OPINIONS. I’m just asking for you to educate yourself before believing anyone over yourself. You may still feel strongly about your OPINION, because that’s what it is, and may still not be able to at least see or hear another point of view. But at least you know WHY you have that opinion and are not just simply believing what you are being told. YOU are in control of you. YOU have the power over you. As everyone should have their rights and freedoms intact. If you don’t believe in something, then don’t do it. But it’s not you right to erase anyone else’s freedom. Why should you have freedom, but not someone else? Please, please just think about that statement. Again, not my intent to politicize…my intentions are education and action to save you and your loved ones, as well as people we may never meet, but who share the commonality of being a human being.
Robert and Kelly Pascuzzi have been on a journey for 10 years to have this story told. They lived through this and want people to consider taking a pause, to reflect, and consider looking at life through a new lense. “True freedom is moving forward through life, not staying stuck” Kelly Pascuzzi Grateful to be here #movingforward #believe #forgiveness The Ravine

I am posting all of these yesterday and today because these were BABIES WHO HAD THEIR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF THEM. Can you even imagine how frightened they were? I imagine them calling for, crying for, or thinking or wanting their mommies and daddies. Can you imagine hearing that? Can you even imagine the pain they felt when struck by these bullets? The bullets that were used cause heinous damage to a human body. These were tiny bodies…they say sometimes a human is unrecognizable, that’s why they needed to get DNA from the relatives, to identify these little babies. This is graffic and gruesome…why would I say these things, repeat these things? Because people must know this is a REALITY THESE BABIES FACED. A reality their parents faced. Easy for people to look away from reality to not face it, see it, feel it, fear it. How does putting more guns out there, arming people who can’t ultimately face the deadly ammo of these guns, making schools literal prisons, equal freedom for anyone? If fetuses have rights and freedoms, don’t 10 year old children too? And WHY does anyone NEED a military grade AR unless they are in the military? I hear from those who feel it will take away law abiding citizen’s guns…not if you are abiding by the law. Unless you’re not abiding by the law…think about that. I am not ANTI anything. I am PRO finding a solution by working together. How about money, since this ultimately is what this about, for mental health help, AS WELL as stricter laws. Why does it have to be one or the other? While people are praying because they believe in their religion and god, and I respect that, why can’t they DO something as well? Why must it be separate? End the filibuster that represents the minority. Let’s DO something TOGETHER. I am not politicizing anything, as i have been accused of. I am trying to find a solution, trying to motivate and find purpose for ACTION. Check my account. How many political posts do I have? That’s not my thing. I won’t stop posting until my heart can breath again, doesn’t weigh like a ton of bricks, and I can stop crying all day. I beg you…feel and act, not out of YOUR fear, but for the fear of loosing our humanity.

Every year, thousands of kittens arrive at our nation’s animal shelters, and your help is needed to ensure every life is saved. By fostering a kitten (or two), you’re providing them with a chance to grow up and find families of their very own. That way you, and your local shelter, will be ready to help the kittens. Sign up to foster today at the link in my bio. @bestfriendsanimalsociety #SaveThemAll #Bfinspired Link for bio: https://www.bestfriends.org/kittens
