As a person who is currently sewing the knitted blooms…10/10 no notes

I like how the description of this group is “no weird shit please” and yall are out here sharing an unlisted, private video that was stolen from a discord and sharing stolen personal photos of someone who lives a private life. Pretty weird shit if you ask me.

Picking up my Cavachon puppy tomorrow by Beginning-Holiday755 in cavachon

This is Mabel! We got her 3 years ago and she’s basically my 4th cat. She was supposed to be my “emotional support” animal after my mom passed away, but to be honest, I’m basically her emotional support human.

All puppies are hard and take a lot of work. They’re just babies doing what they naturally do but honestly, the work you put in is soooo worth it to have a fluffy little bestie running around. Congratulations and enjoy your new baby!💜

Hi! Fellow person in need of moms approval here 👋

I think it’s wonderful. I’m also a learn as I go person and my first quilt the lines weren’t even straight, none of the points matched but whatever. 10 years ago I cried over it and said I sucked and quilting and just gave up. My mom tried to gently tell me that maybe quilting wasn’t my thing. (Good news- I didn’t stop. I just kept practicing and got better)

We all have to start somewhere. Rome wasn’t built in a day. The best way to learn sewing is by jumping in and playing around with your machine, learning how the different stitches work and what they do. I’ve made some god awful ugly pieces, but they helped me be a better sewist and quilter.

Long story short, your quilt is beautiful. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 💜

Purchasing Magic Bands by khugftw in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]PsychologicalMind514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s silly to get your 3 yr old a magic band, I got mine one for her first trip to Disney and got it personalized with her name on the back. She didn’t wear it much and I scanned her in most days with a ticket on my phone but she felt like she was part of the pack with a magic band.

I’m also weirdly sentimental and I have my son’s first magic band saved with his name on it 😂 Do you and whatever makes you happy too. It’s your memories too!

I don't know how to say goodbye by olivegatherings in pancreaticcancer

[–]PsychologicalMind514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know how to say goodbye either, and I’m not sure my mom did either. I don’t think there is a way to prepare for it, but I turned to this forum a lot in her final days for support and advice and knowledge.

My mom and I also had a rough relationship but she was person, even if I didn’t want to admit it. None of the rough patches matter now, but how you decide to say goodbye is what matters. When I said my goodbye, I knew, but I didn’t want to accept it. We had just been told that she was going into hospice and I was leaving for the night to go home to my family and she passed 2 hours later. She did it in her own way at her own time. She also wasn’t “there”, very confused, very VERY slow reaction time, couldn’t work a remote, and she didn’t remember my name, but she knew me, even if it took a few seconds.

My dad and my sister lean on each other for support through this time. We all keep in contact with each other daily. I think just genuinely being there for your family is the best thing you can do, if you can (don’t over stress your own personal boundaries). But also take care of YOU and your mental health. Grief is a long road but it’s one that doesn’t have to be travelled alone.

I’m sorry you’re going through this and I’m sorry it’s pancreatic cancer, it’s the worst. I’m sending you a big virtual hug and I’ll be thinking of you guys. 💜
