My temporary housemate 😻

@kaikanuck is Estonian and in the Estonian language the word for partner is abikaasa, which translates to "help together". It gets shortened to kaasa, "together." This word lends so much truth and value to Kai's space in my life. She sees me, she aids me, she is with me. Olen sinusse pööraselt armunud. #⚢ #esto #estonian

Since I've had one ovary removed, I swear I feel warmer in general. Now with the steroid I have to take before my CT scan due to an allergy, I feel I could walk barefoot on these rocks and love it. Internal temperature is a mystery to me.

@kaikanuck did up my hair again! Feels great to have the vibrant colour and buzzed sides back. I had a moment with the mirror - "wow, I look cute!" - followed by "I can't believe I'm actually a person, alive, conscious." Cue existential crisis! 👾 📸 By @kaikanuck

LUNCH! With a chocolatey stout. All is well. @lb_brewing #lakeofbaysbrewery #dateday #localbeer #craftbeer Can't wait for the tour and paired dinner later this month 😲

Who is this absolute glamazon? 😲 What an amazing VIP section set up by @estdocs. An evening of time with my girlfriend, friends, watching Estonian documentaries.and getting to be the subject of @kaikanuck 's discerning eye. Who could want more? 📸 By @kaikanuck 🇪🇪 #estodocs #estonia #estonianpride

Rest peacefully my absolute angel. You are desperately missed. 💔 My sister is visiting and I'm so thrilled to have her here - she brought our cat (we have joint custody lol) and I'm so glad - but I miss Priestess so much. I called our cat by her name a couple times. It hurts.

Love my pumpkin girlfriend! Had to get her home before midnight before she turned like the rest of the folks in the photo 😂

New #shero ♀ Go see the @katebrownpainting show Table Of Contents at the @algonquintheatre and keep an eye out for my article on her stunning pieces.

Went to Erika's in Dwight just before closing after I got the news that I have ovarian cancer. If you want the full story, link is in the bio. We aren't done yet. ♥

Three years at the same event... So glad the universe put this woman in my path. She gives me care, gives me peace, gives me space - she shows me myself. This connection is so sacred to me and I hope I treat it always with the reverence it deserves. I love you, Kai.

I feel like I'm really missing something. This has been such an intense journey. It's lonely when you're not alone. Its disconnecting, it's distracting, it's feels like anything can get taken away. Yet I see this picture and can't imagine where that ovary would have rested, all mutilated and wrong. There's no clear absense, there's no cut-out. It's gone, but I'm not. I can't hold a space for it but I will always remember life with it - not just because of the pain, but because of a certain balance I had and didn't even realize. I've cut other pieces out of myself, physically and metaphorically - and I've always found my way. ☘️
