Three weeks ago, my beloved Ashen turned 14! ✨ These last days have been especially heavy, and yet when I look back, I see nothing but gratitude. Since his lymphoma diagnosis, we’ve managed to steal from de*th 5.5 precious months filled with daily walks, favorite treats, and endless cuddles.
I haven’t done this alone. While 95% of his palliative care happens at home, we’ve had an incredible team of veterinarians, technicians, and friends supporting us. Thanks to them, our clinic visits have mostly been limited to chemotherapy sessions every 2–3 weeks. The most of the rest of the time we’ve spent adventuring together in my forest and warming his fur by the fireplace at night.
My heart trembles at the thought of what the coming days may bring, but I know we’ve done everything possible—and that this has been the best time spent together. For the past year I’ve been practicing radical companionship, and if you’d like to wish Ashen something, let it be that this journey lasts as long as it can, and that we find the strength to overcome this crisisas well ❤️
