Three years ago today, I escaped. I had lived in fear for my life, for my family’s lives, every hour of every for 10 weeks. And on June 25, 2020, I did the bravest thing I’ve ever done and I escaped. And now, three years later and I’m getting married in three weeks. Victim, surviving,Continue reading “Escape Anniversary”

3 years since Kirby
Three years ago today, Mathew Berry tortured my dog Kirby for 14 hours, ultimately leading to my dog’s death. Next month, I’m going to court where Mathew Berry is being criminally prosecuted for torturing and killing my dog Kirby. I’m so grateful. God is so good and I’m just so grateful.
3 years ago today, my abuser killed Daisy.

Anger + Moving on (Daisy’s birthday)
Yesterday was Daisy’s birthday. I woke up and immediately felt angry. Anger at the fact that she’s gone, that she got one birthday, that she was only a baby when he killed her.

And yesterday, I removed it. From time to time, I getContinue reading “I removed the post: my statement to police of the day MB killed Kirby”
He missed court so now he might forfeit his bond
MB missed court yesterday. Woof. You can’t do that when you’re charged with multiple felonies. But he did. So now there’s a warrant out for his arrest and a hearing to forfeit his bond. Which means, the possibility of him going to jail and losing his freedom. In order to stay out of jail rightContinue reading “He missed court so now he might forfeit his bond”
I had surgery this morning.
A septoplasty, again. Necessary, feeling alright after it. Recovery for a few days. But this isn’t as much about that as it is how grateful I am for my partner. He’s here for me every step of the way – holding my hand as I stand up and walk around, going to the store toContinue reading “I had surgery this morning.”
