Our babies come from all over and came to us in different ways, but we love them all so much and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

Keep him anymore (he came to us from Kenucky). And before that was Rivkah, who technically came from a breeder but had to be rescued from a shelter in Oklahoma when her old owner got rid of her, and Stevie (RIP) who I got at a shelter in Austin, Texas.

*hug*

And obviously I'm not saying you should get a new one right away, especially if you're not ready. There just happened to be a kitten adoption event nearby and I thought I would go look at cute kittens and ended up falling in love with the saddest looking one

It's been almost a year and I feel like maybe I'm getting there? I got a new kitten about 5 months after putting Stevie down (who I'd had for 10 years), and while she's obviously not a replacement, she's done a lot to heal the parts that hurt.

Isn't it the most awesome feeling? My MIL legit makes me feel so loved. At some point I started calling her Mama and she's just fine with it and I still cry about it sometimes.

It got them reading all of my stories including one where I posted a pic of my cat in the author's note. She's since passed, and I put a note at the end letting people know, and the person said "RIP Stevie we love you" and that made me sad but also like, smile a little. So thank you for that <3

I'm doing my best to get back into things, so if you want a buddy to do it with, I'm available

*big hugs* The Discord is so big and overwhelming and moves fast. Frito's right, just mute everything, especially the things you have no interest in (RIP food channel, you're awesome but I can't contribute).

And if you need like, a tl;dr on anything, I bet anyone you asked would be happy to help <3

Was he obviously gay in the book? It didn't feel as overt imo.
