When #BrainCancer stole Ashley’s voice, she found new ways to speak. A simple 👍🏼 told us she was okay. Our Ashley stayed fiercely positive & unbreakable through it all. We would be so grateful for a follow & repost to keep Ashley’s story alive. ❤️

Charlie’s neighbor has lost his interest in gardening, photography and woodworking. Charlie thinks a rescue dog is the answer and Rusty becomes the first of several to be adopted. Everyone deserves a second chance. #Questpit #PB #Q

My new doggy door proves to be more of a gift than I realize. It’s an open invitation to backyard critters to come visit. My people mom doesn’t mind. She is glued to her computer & phone & unaware of snake, goat, chicken, spider & wolf & all of our antics. #Questpit #PB #Q

Ellie & Everett are scrambling to build their nest before the eaglets hatch. While Everett searches for branches, Ellie scours architecture & decorating magazines. Ellie wants to keep up with the hawks & falcons while Everett has a man cave in mind. #Questpit #PB #Q

Take advice from me, Frisco, as I have perfected the art of being a lovey. Be patient as you are dragged by your ears and dressed up in doll’s clothes. Be prepared for accidents like being tossed in the diaper pail. And be ready for endless cuddles and snuggles. #questpit #Q #pb

I miss my daughter. Charlotte died on the 24th February 2016. She was nineteen years old. She died in a coma. It was a long time ago, some might say. It will forever be my yesterday. Before the cancer, we used to shop for clothes. After the diagnosis, we shopped for wigs. We used to love eating out. After thirty-two days of radiotherapy, Charlotte couldn't eat at all. You used to be scared of needles. You had blood tests weekly. It put a stop to your fear. Post-diagnosis, you were never 'normal' again. Your life was hospitals and endless chemotherapy. You bought me flowers every week. Now I buy you flowers every week. They're for your final resting place. Glioblastoma is a terminal grade four brain cancer - there is no cure. Charlotte's final weeks before she went into a coma were horrendous. She was stripped of everything: her ability to walk and her ability to talk, for example. Glioblastoma does not stop until it kills. My son and I have worked tirelessly, raising awareness and donations. We are a self funding charity. 100% of all donations go to Charlotte's LAB, Kings College Hospital, London. charlottesbag.com/ Please RT with thanks.

My 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer 4,651 days ago. 💔 I would LOVE to see my Ashley’s name 4,651 times in comments for all the days she’s been missing. When you lose a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️ A Repost & Follow would mean the world to us to keep our Ashley’s story alive. 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 💜

Boomer enjoys time with Grandma & Grandpa more than with his people parents. They give him plenty of lap time and long, leisurely walks. If only they didn't live hours away. Is it only wishful thinking that that could change? #JoyPit #PB

Ellie Eagle scours architectural and decorating magazines and sends Everett to search for supplies. Ellie wants everything perfect. A bowl shape and a soft lining aren’t enough. Ellie wants smart technology and cold storage. Theirs will be a showcase nest. #JoyPit #PB #HA

Righty Tighty Rich and Left Loosey Lou are on a mission. After receiving emergency calls to their garage – peanut butter lid, water hose, and house key - they decide to hold classes for children. It’s time they learned to turn right to open and left to close. #JoyPit #HA #PB
