    2024 was rough here also, we lost my Dad and I've experienced some health issues. Here's to a 2025 filled with healing, good memories and abundance.

    So sorry for your loss Abby. I lost 2 of my furkids last year, and whilst nowhere near the depth of your family's loss, it still hurt so very much, and still does. I was more than pleased to see the back of 2024.

    Abby I hear you, 2024 SUCKED! My father suddenly died and I have to do all the estate stuff, my partner got hit in his bike twice, my cat developed diabetes at the same time my father was in hospital, and our hot water tank crapped out and flooded the basement. Here's wishing for a happy and healthy 2025! 💕

    “How is she not a lesbian?”😂😂😂 in all seriousness, I am so sorry for your loss- 2024 sucked but here’s to hoping 2025 is better! I can’t wait for your book and am so excited to see what videos you’ve been working on. Your channel keeps me inspired on my fashion history journey ❤❤❤

    I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I lost my mom to metastatic melanoma in 2016 when she was still what my sister and I thought of as a fairly young woman. I do hope that 2025 brings you and yours much joy! I get so much laughter from your videos! You're amazingly creative and funny af.

    Love you Abby! So sorry for your loss. I found out after the funeral that my uncle who lived closest to me had passed away on the first of January and by way of his obituary I found out that his son who was closest to me in age had passed away two years ago. Plus on top of that a long time family friend passed away about the same time as my uncle. That's how I ended 2024 and started 2025. Life is chaotic and challenging. All I can say is do what is best for you! I'm sure all of us will be here for you, cheering you on and laughing at you and your friends silly antics as you bring to life your amazingly educational stories. I wish you all the best on your book. I can't wait to see it fully published and doing well.

    I’m so sad to hear about the struggles you and your family have suffered over the past year. I am happy to hear that you plan on taking care of your mental health and I hope that this year is better than ever! I look forward to your next video, as always, whenever you are able. ❤❤❤

    Happy New Year and may your year be brighter than the last! I lost my Granny this last year and helping my parents go through her house has been difficult. She just packaged up her mother's house and kept all of it when her mother died, so we were going through two households worth of stuff. We got to piece together a lot of family stories, which was nice, but trying to figure out what was a keepable vintage heirloom and what wasn't was a challenge. May all of us find some joys in this...already tumultuous next year.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Abby. You know when you lose a loved one for some reason we forget to take care our ourselves. Both of my parents are gone now and it's been a journey to realize that I while I mourn them I also need to get on with the business of living. I am so glad to see that you are stepping back when you can and simply existing in the world with your family and friends. Happy New Year to you and I wish for all the best for 2025. BTW, you made me roll off the bed laughing so hard with the peri-menopause comment. Ain't it grand? This menopausal woman had to relearn everything about her body when I hit the peri-phase. Hope it goes much smoother for you. xoxox ♥🙏🏽

    I am so sorry for your family's loss. A close friend of my family lost his father suddenly a few weeks ago, and he got the news after he was prevented from visiting him due to flu! His father was 100 and had a full life and they were able to visit a few weeks prior, but it was still a blow.
    I was wondering where the 2 extra dogs came from and it's so sweet that you and your husband adopted them. I took my grandmother's cat when she passed a few years ago, as I had promised her. He's been a great help in healing from the loss. I wish your family all the best with their healing.
    I can't wait for your book. I actually got the Christmas pin from your shop for my mom.

    I hear you on 2024! However, my family's bad year was 2023. Lost 4 fur babies (2 cats, 2 dogs), and lost 10 family members (attended 6 of the funerals). It was wild and chaotic. Last year was fine, I got engaged and got a kitten. I'm now a week into 2025 and the engine blew on my car, and my kitten broke my $100 headset within days of each other. Hoping to send and receive good vibes for the rest of this year!
