Justice For Katarina

Accountability should not be optional. If you believe those who engage in criminal behavior must face meaningful consequences, SIGN this petition for law reform in honor of Lily, a beautiful girl made of love and starlight. Her voice was taken too soon. Together, we can make sure her impact is not.

***NOT MY USUAL CONTENT BUT SO IMPORTANT***

On Tuesday, a box of seven puppies was left in the parking lot of my job. One puppy had already passed away, and I took the remaining six home because local shelters are full and low on resources. The puppies are only two weeks old and require round-the-clock care, including bottle feeding every two hours and physical help to stimulate bowel movements and urination.

l've already spent hundreds of dollars on vet visits, formula, and supplies, and the costs continue to grow. The vet wants stool samples for all of them to check for bacteria in their stomachs, and they have several upcoming visits for tests and immunizations. They go through multiple cans of formula each day, and there are many other supplies needed to keep them safe and healthy.

I will care for and love these puppies until they're healthy and old enough to go to their forever homes. Any support will help give them a chance at a happy, healthy life. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help these puppies thrive.

There was a time when I didn’t think I would survive the weight of my grief.

Losing a child changes everything. It changes how you see the world, how you see yourself, and sometimes it even changes your ability to imagine a future. The pain can become so overwhelming that simply getting through the next hour feels impossible.

This video isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about mental health. It’s about surviving the moments when your heart is shattered. It’s about finding air when you feel like you’re drowning. It’s about choosing one more breath, one more step, one more day when hope feels out of reach.

If you’re carrying grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, or a loss that feels too heavy to bear, I want you to know that you matter. Moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting. Strength doesn’t mean not hurting. Sometimes strength is simply deciding to stay.

For those who have lost a child, I see you. For those fighting battles no one can see, I see you. For those searching for a reason to keep going, this video is for you.

Keep breathing. Keep fighting.

Tomorrow marks two years since my daughter died, but grief does not measure time the way calendars do. People see two years and assume there has been distance, healing, or closure. What they don’t understand is that I carry her with me every day. Some days the loss sits quietly beside me. Other days it feels as sharp and suffocating as the moment I learned she was gone.

Losing a child is not something you “get over.” It is learning to live in a world that no longer makes sense. It is seeing birthdays, holidays, milestones, and ordinary moments through the lens of who is missing. It is hearing a song, seeing a little girl who looks her age, or passing a place she loved and feeling the weight of her absence all over again.

The second anniversary is difficult because it carries a cruel contradiction. The world has continued moving forward for two years, while part of me remains forever tied to the day my daughter took her last breath. Time has passed, but my love for her has not changed. Neither has the fact that she should still be here.

Grief is the price of loving someone so completely that their absence reshapes every part of your life. The pain exists because the love exists and even after two years, I would rather carry this grief than forget for a moment how deeply I love my daughter.
