Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there! Whether you are a mother with endometriosis or a mother to someone with endometriosis, you deserve to be celebrated! And if you are a mother with no relation to endometriosis at all, well Happy Mothers Day to you too, because we all have our tough times and mothers help us through them.

Pets. Throughout my life, I never really had a strong appreciation for pets. I had a guinea pig when I was young and I would pet a cat or dog if I was at someone's house but they never invoked a strong emotional response in me. And, to be honest, dogs often slobber and I never found that endearing. After college I ended up with a cat by pure happenstance. A friend of mine was trying to give away a kitten and brought him over to my apartment one time, which honestly is cheating because all kittens, puppies, babies are adorable so of course I ended up with my first real pet... a cat who unfortunately, died suddenly at the age of two. In a very strange confluence of events, I then ended up with a new kitten, already named Lily. Lily is the cat I've had since before I was sick and she is the one who has opened me up to a whole new bond with animals since I've been sick.
