Sawyer the Crisis Response Dog

06/27/2025

Today is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day. Traumatic events can have long-lasting effects; first responders, military personnel, women, refugees, and Indigenous Peoples tend to be at higher risk, but PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of background or circumstance.

Today, we come together to raise awareness around PTSD, break the stigma, and show support and compassion for those suffering.

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who became my whole world. 🥀

I lost my mom when I was just a year old. I never got to know her—but God gave me someone who filled that space completely: my grandma.

She’s been my mother, my father, my best friend. She raised me, guided me, and loved me unconditionally. Everything I am today, I owe to her.

Tonight, she asked me to help her post a Mother’s Day greeting. Then she said, “Wala pang nagllike, baka tulog na mga tao.” I smiled. Because that’s her—always excited about the little things, always so makulit in the most adorable way.

She might not know how much she means to me—but I hope she feels it. Every day. Especially today.

Thank you, lola, for being my everything.
I love you so much.

Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

If you don’t absolutely need to go anywhere, it might be a good idea to stay cozy indoors!
