Everything seemed so great at first. I hadn't been looking forward to my birthday since it falls right before Christmas and yet my boyfriend always seemed to turn that around, and make it pleasant for me. And he had done just that. He made it enjoyable and I was able to celebrate it surrounded by the people that I love... Most of all, him. Then we had Christmas eve with even more friends. And finally Christmas day which was spent with his parents. I'd given up on seeing my own family... Doubt they wanted me around anyway. And on the night of the 25th of December I hugged my boyfriend, I kissed him and told him I loved him. He was leaving for a friends house to celebrate New Years... A tradition. A trip he made EVERY YEAR. And at 10:45 on the morning of the 26th I received a phone call from a friend. Some rumor that my boyfriend and his passengers had been in an accident on their way there. Not just any accident. A head on collision with a semi-truck. Frantically, my roommate and I called all of the hospitals in the area to no avail. We were able to track down the passengers. They were pretty banged up and in a bad way but there was no word on him. My mate of 2 years...... The dread that set in was immediate, and the phone calls continued until finally my roommate had found him. In the worst way possible, while on the phone with my boyfriend's father, I heard the worst.... My mate. My wolf.. was dead. It couldn't have been real. Not him... He was such a great driver. The best I'd ever known. How could it have been? If only I had been there! But "if only's" seem so useless now. Wasted energy.

Dead. A week ago yesterday. Every little thing I notice around his house makes me miss him. Recall his scent, the feel of his hair through my fingertips, his skin, strong arms, large hands. The little bit of facial hair that I'd always play with... That he'd been trying to grow if only because he couldn't grow a proper beard.

FUCK. Just.... fuck. I'm completely and totally at a loss right now. The breakdowns come and go and I feel so disjointed and confused. My thanks goes out to the people that have helped me. My roommate who scooped me up off the floor when I was feeling like I'd die along with him. I don't have thanks enough.... I don't. All I know is that I hurt more than I could ever hurt.

I'm amazed at how, even after only 2 years, I could have grown so attached to him. Easily the most important person in my life. A man I had decided I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. And now he's gone and I'm expected to just move on. Let time heal my wounds. Yeah.... Sure.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Hey everyone. I know I don't post a lot to BAF and I typically don't like posting about stuff like this but I feel like I need to spread the word for someone in need. Someone that is important to me that needs help.

My cousin Jeff Jones, a local bay area musician whose small time fame goes all the way back to the 70's, has lived with Multiple Sclerosis his entire life and it has always been a struggle while he gradually got worst. In the past few years his trembling became unbearable to the point when he could no longer pick up a guitar and play, set his fingers on a piano, and even speak well enough to sing.

Much to everyone's surprise, after a particularly hard visit to the doctor, he was given even worst news. On top of his already debilitating MS, he was then diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. His only hope for some salvation is a particularly risky brain operation so we, his family, are holding a benefit for him.

All of the information can be found here on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/397525313634844/

As well as here: http://www.jeffjonesbenefit.com/

And all donations can be made here: https://www.everribbon.com/ribbon/view/7912

Every little bit helps, and all are invited to help us raise the $20,000 for this operation.


TL;dr My cousin is suffering from MS and now Parkinsons. We're holding a benefit to help out and we would like everyone's help, including help from us furries. Open your hearts guys, this is important. If you've ever known anybody who has suffered you'll understand just how important this is. Everyone is welcome to join in, donate, or help out in any way. Contact me directly for more info.

What kind of madness is this you ask?! Is offering some rather wacky deals that YOU should be taking advantage of! GO! NOW! You wont be disappointed.
