Yesterday- March, 12 2026 my world stopped turning. My baby boy unexpectedly passed at around 5:30 pm with me, Jay, and @jasonmhair by his side. He was the love of my life, my everything, my other half, my reason. I so badly wanted to get him his big back yard when we moved. I wanted him to see the snow. I wanted him to see the water. I wanted a lot more time with him. Shortly after I lost my first heart dog Baby- Niko showed up. I truly believe in some capacity she sent him to me. He became my soul dog. We were soul mates. He was meant to be mine and I his. I don’t know how to operate without him at my side. He was the sweetest, most handsome, smartest, full of life and character, most magnificent boy. He loved me, toys, snoozin’, sassin’, and eatin’. If I wasn’t working he and I were attached at the hip-he always had to be physically touching me. At night we literally slept intertwined. He protected my mom while I was away at college, and he was my rock (with Jay) when she died. He wasn’t a dog he was my son. The almost 11 years we were together will never be enough. There will never be another Niko. Forever grateful that Jason called me that day in 2015 looking for a home for a dog he wasn’t able to keep. I love you till my lungs give out baby boy. In this life and the next and the ones after that. by @taysadillah

We would’ve celebrated your 12th birthday with you today. We would’ve bought you a few toys, I would’ve baked you a cake. We would’ve hung decorations and balloons and taken a hundred photos. We would’ve sang to you and lit your candle. You would’ve loved the attention. People keep saying that you lived a good long life, expecting you to be gone because of how long that life was. The reality is that your age didn’t slow down your heart. Not your spirit. Not your soul. Not your personality. Not your love. Not your light. It didn’t stop you at all and it wasn’t long enough. You’re gone because of a freak accident. Not because you got too old. You should be here. You should be 12. You should be 13 and 14. You should’ve lived forever. Until we’re reunited we’ll celebrate your birthday every July 7 even if we cant see you at the party. One day we’ll pick up where we left off. Then we’ll celebrate you some more. My baby, my son, the light of my life. Happy Birthday Bobo 🤍🌈 by @taysadillah

I’ve focused so much on the future pain losing Niko would cause that I never even thought about how losing you would gut me. I never thought I’d lose you. The five week old kitten that wasn’t supposed to make it, and here we are 16 years later. You’ve been such a dominant fixture in my life for so many years that I never pictured having to live life without you. I’m not sure if that’s because I thought you’d live forever or if I’ve been in denial of what was inevitably coming. For a long time you were- what I felt- the last piece of my mom I had left. You were her baby. But then you became mine. When mom died I became your person and you came to me for comfort. You’d curl up next to me and sleep. You’d come knead by my head, whether I was on the couch or in bed and with a raspy little meow and the gentlest tap of your paw you’d get the attention and cheek scratch you demanded. You bullied me for food, even when your bowl had just been filled. You’d sit at the door and sass me until I let you in because you always wanted to be involved in what I was doing. Even though you weighed less than 8lbs you had a personality that filled the room. Every Mother’s Day I’d joke that we were orphans and take you over to mom’s urn so we would wish her a happy Mother’s Day. The morbid humor of it all is what helped me through it. I could swear you knew what was going on. The rest of the day you’d sit there and stare like you were spending your own time with her. You’ve been there with me for damn near everything: the first day of highschool, the first day of college, the first day of beauty school, when I got married, when we lost our mom. I wish you were here with me for the rest. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to talk about it going forward. I don’t want to face the people that don’t understand. I don’t want to have to explain that you’re not “just a cat”. I don’t want to accept that there are friends and family that don’t remember your name. I don’t need to hear “it’s part of life”. Because to me you’re everything. I’ll miss you for the rest of my life my dainty little man. I love you more than I could ever explain. I love you for life little brother. by @taysadillah

Every October 21st for the last 6 years, I get to honor my mom:
Six years is much too long without the soulshine that was you, momma. I’ve grown and changed so much in that time but I’ve never stopped missing you for even a second. Even though I’m almost 30 and married, talking about kids and moving across the country, planning for retirement and talking about our health, at the end of the day I realize I’m still just a little girl who lost her mom. I ache every day that you’re not here, that I can’t talk to or see you. I hate when people say you’re in a better place because I don’t believe in it and if you were you’d be here, where you’re supposed to be. I can’t help but be jealous when I see moms at their daughter’s weddings, when my other stylist friends get to do their moms’ hair, or when someone else gets a phone call from “Mom”. It’s so bittersweet whenever anyone says I look just like you but the sweetness is worth the bitterness. You’re in everything I do, every song I hear, and everywhere I go. I remember everything about you, the way you deserve to be remembered. The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was say goodbye to you. Thank you for everything. I love you I love you I love you. by @taysadillah

If you know me you know I don’t really talk about my personal shit, at least not the real deep stuff but it’s been 5 years since I lost my favorite person. I remember that day so vividly and the world is so incredibly lonely without her. She’s supposed to be here. She should’ve seen me start my business, she should’ve seen me grow into a real adult, she should’ve seen me get married, she should’ve seen me have a kid (ew! But maybe one day). The grief is debilitating and doesn’t go away after the loss of someone like her. Losing her was the hardest thing I could ever go through. As the only child of a single mom it can sometimes feel like I’m grieving her alone. I’ll never let anyone forget about her. She always gave more than she got and that’ll never sit right with me. She deserved the world and then some.

Ma, I still listen to your favorite songs and watch your favorite movie. I still make a rum and Coke for you, diet of course and only with Bacardi. So many things remind me of you everyday. We had our own language, you and me. Nobody is as funny as you, but I’m a close second. You always said you had a horrible singing voice but I loved when you sang and I’d give anything to hear you sing again. Aunt Kathy, Bran, and I miss you so much. Keep sending us those butterflies and hummingbirds. Love you always 💜 by @taysadillah
