My love. My Athena Bear. My baby girl. My big belly bear. 🐻🤍
Happy national rainbow bridge day 🌈 Today I honor you. I celebrate you. I remember you. I feel you close by. But more importantly than anything… I keep you close to me and I continue to love you.

It has been a little over a month since we shared our final kiss with you, and let me tell you it has been a pretty sad time here without you. But we are so blessed to still find you in all the ways you appear: pink dragonfly’s (i’ve never seen that before), music, black & yellow butterfly’s, and everything pretty and pink.

Every morning I am given a reason to miss you and wish I could hold you close to me. I hope you feel the kisses to your urn every morning, I hope you hear me when I cry and talk to you. I hope you can feel me when I take you out to hold you close to my chest because I need to feel you close to me however I can. I hope you see how excited we get to see the signs you send us, and how much we keep you here with us.

It will never get easier, I’ll just learn to not cry first. I love you. Happy rainbow bridge day to all the beautiful babies we honor today. 💕🥺

One month ago today, we said goodbye to our beautiful baby Athena Bear. 🐻🤍

There are not enough words in the world to describe the kind of love that I carry for her, or the kind of heartbreak this experience has brought us

Everyday I wake up and hope that Bear is there to cuddle with, play with, laugh with, drive around with, have dates with, everything… and every morning I am reminded that she is not. 💔

It is hard to describe the emptiness and the void that she left in our hearts and home.

I will never not kiss her good morning, and wish her good night. I hope heaven brings you so much love, comfort, and peace. I hope that you never worry have to worry about running out of energy to move your duckies, or missing a potty pad ever again. I hope you have endless opportunities of wind in your whiskers and car rides. I hope playtimes are extra special, and that you are so happy but more than anything else - you never forget how much we love you and how much we miss you. 🥹

We have been doing our best to keep our promise to you, our pretty girl. We see you every time the sky is pink, the butterflies are close by, the dragonflies dance in front of the window, your songs come on - we don’t miss those signs. I smile (and then cry), but it’s okay because it keeps me close to you.

I miss you, I love you. 🤍

One of our moments together after receiving some hard news was just laying together in one of her favorite spots (the closet), and writing a bunch of wonderful things about her 🩷 We miss you so much. 💐🌸🤍🥺

3 weeks without you Athena. I hope you know how much we love and miss you. You share space in our mind and hearts every day, and I hope you know every opportunity to speak of you, we take.

On July 12th, Isak and I crafted a day called “Bears Best Day Ever” 🤍🥹 We did a bunch of things that we knew she loved, one of them being her paintings. This is her 3rd & 4th one. One she did all by herself, and one with her and our fingerprints so we have them forever 🎨🩷

We will always remember you, Athena Bear. 🩷🐻🪽

Not only on the days where I feel it the heaviest - but on the days where it is quiet, in the times where I am happy and look for you to celebrate with. I will remember you when it rains outside because it’s relaxing. I will remember you when it thunderstorms because my first reaction is to make sure you’re close to mommy so you don’t get scared. I will remember you when I do my laundry, and when I open the door, or when I hear a crinkle.

I’ll remember when you we see ducks, or hear rock lobster. We will remember you when we waft the blankets up and smell the love you left behind. How could we ever forget? 💔

In fact, I will never be able to forget.. that’s how much we love you. Even in the separation of death, our love is stronger 🩷

one of the best gifts we gave to athena bear before we said goodbye was the gift of a sweet treat (pup cup) 🍬🍦

no audios because if you listen close enough beyond us sobbing, you can hear her little munching noises because she was enjoying it so much 🥺❤️‍🩹

I am grateful at the amount of love Isak and I have received over the last few days. I feel an immense amount of joy in knowing our baby bear brought and had so much love around her ❤️‍🩹

My heart hurts, and I have more feelings than I know how to express with words. I love her, and I miss her so so much. My baby forever. 🪽🐾

Athena Bear 🐻🪽🐾 10.11.20 - 07.15.2026

Around 6:30pm today we had to say our final goodbye to my baby athena bear.

My sweet girl. My beautiful big belly bear. I have no words to describe the bear sized hole that has been left in my heart, but I will try…

Since the day I laid my eyes on my baby bear I knew she was everything my heart needed and then some. I have never been so in love with anyone or anything in my entire life. My whole world revolved around being the best mom I could possibly be for you. My heart sang songs for you. My love knew no bounds because all I ever cared about was seeing you happy, healthy, and loved unconditionally.

Every trip, every experience, every kiss, every cuddle, every bite, every laugh, every car ride with the wind in your whiskers, every starbucks date, every holiday, every birthday, every gotcha day - every single second I spent with you was another reason I loved you more. I will hold every single moment so close to me so that maybe one day I am lucky enough to remember them and smile instead of cry.

I hope that heaven treats you with kindness, grace, and a type of peace that this world could not give you. May the absence of love never be felt for I will still love you with every ounce of my being down here until my last breath. You gave me the best 5 1/2 years a broken girl could ever ask for. My baby. I have no words other than I am heartbroken beyond measure. I love you and I will miss you until the day that I die.

My sweet baby girl, I am so sorry today was our last day and I have to post you in a sad tone, you were our world, our baby, our comfort. You taught me and Julissa so much about our selves and made us grow closer. I wish we could’ve had more time together to celebrate and cuddle and play and have so much fun. But sadly, our time was cut short. These last 5 1/2 years have made me love you more and more. I cannot express how sad and hurt I am that I cannot kiss you and cuddle with you with mommy, but I know you are at peace and can finally rest and watch over us. I can never forget the love and bravery you showed over these years. I will forever cherish our time together and all the memories. Thank you for being so special and perfect the way you are, I can never forget you and all you’ve done. Thank you for being the best ferret I could’ve asked for and dreamed of for your mommy. I plan to keep our promise till the end of time.

I love you sweet girl

Love, dad ❤️
