i just want to say thank you. thank you for noticing me. thank you for noticing oscar. thank you for the little things — like remembering my chip switch, writing oscar’s name on his treat, and making sure my food is always right. you have no idea how much that means.
since moving here, i’ve experienced more blatant racism than i ever have in my life. but you all reminded me that kindness still exists. that some people still lead with love. and that even in a town full of hate, there can be small pockets of peace. you are that pocket of peace.
if i’m not thankful for anything else in redwood — i’m thankful for you. you made me feel human. you made me feel safe. you made me feel seen.
from the bottom of my heart — thank you. 🤍 love, tiwyay & oscar“
