Peanut Butter & Jelly

2014 - 2021

My ferrets were my best friends. I adopted them off of a craigslist ad after experiencing a traumatic event in my life and they changed everything for me. The day I met them, I felt myself smile for the first time in months. And then they never stopped making me smile for another 4 years. I never believed I would click so hard with these two little souls but its like we were made for each other. They traveled with me from place to place as I struggled to find secure housing. All of my friends and family knew them well. We were a team, and they were my family. They were the ones I came home to every night. They both passed away within a month of each other, Jelly from age related complications, and Peanut Butter from cancer. I could never have been ready for this. Every night, I used to sit on the floor with them for hours before the three of us went to bed. Now I sit on the floor alone, wishing I could hold their tiny paws again. It was their time, Im not in denial. When you love someone forever, that often means loving them up until you have to watch them go. I was lucky to have loved them and to have them love me. I miss my best friends terribly and I hope they will always be with me.
