Seoul, My Son — A Love Too Deep for One Lifetime

-

​“Grief is the price we pay for love—but love like this never ends.”


To Seoul, my brave boy,


Just a week after Olympia’s passing, you followed her.

You grieved your girlfriend with a devotion so deep that your little body could no longer hold it. You refused to eat. You turned away from food, from medicine—everything that once helped. Even at the emergency vet threshold, nothing could pull you back. And I know now it was already out of my hands.


I understand, my love.

You wanted to go after her in heaven. That missing piece of your heart belonged with her. That truth—painful as it is—is the only reason I can let go, even while the ache is still so fresh.


I felt you.

Your paws.

Your eyes locked onto mine, saying everything words never could. I prayed to the Angels and to Jesus, asking them to welcome you—every day, the way you once welcomed your meals, your keto treats, your quiet moments beside me.


We fought so hard together.

It took months to heal your atopic dermatitis and all the other skin battles. We didn’t give up. We won. You were strong. And I still cannot believe the magnitude of your grief—beyond what many humans could endure. Your love was that pure.


If I failed you anywhere, forgive me.

I missed plugging in the Feliway.

I respected your boundaries when maybe I should have forced electrolytes and sub-Q fluids—should have ignored the paw punches and scratches, because they were nothing compared to losing you. That will always stay with me.


Please, my angel, touch Thirteen.

Heal her. Help her recover.

The trio is so close—playmates, family, bonded in ways only animals truly understand. Stay near them, the way you stayed near me.


You are not gone.

You are only ahead—running back to Olympia, whole again, free of pain, wrapped in light.





Prayer



Dear Father in heaven,

We hope in you and in your promise, which we hold in our hearts as our most precious possession. Protect us when times grow hard. May your Spirit come. May your Spirit constantly reveal your Word and give your promise to the hearts of many so that they may share in the hope, the faith, and the struggle for the great day. On that day we will be allowed to rejoice, exulting with all people because your salvation comes for the whole world.

Amen.




In Loving Memory of Seoul

July 12, 2024 – December 18, 2025


You are always in our hearts.

Pride Month 2025: Seven Grant on the Cover of Moll Magazine South Africa

​ Seven Grant: Looking back, the pandemic of August 2020 changed our lives colossally. It reshaped the modeling industry, disrupted careers, and imposed harsh travel restrictions. But as I promised back then—I would return when the time felt right. And this is that moment. With the evolving discourse on gender identity—like the U.S. gender passport marker and the UK’s troubling ruling that labels trans women as men—I felt compelled to reconnect. After years immersed in veterinary studies and exploring a holistic approach to wellness, my soul called me back—not just to the spotlight, but to my purpose. It runs in my veins—to rise above, to embody resilience, and to unfurl my pride wings alongside my sisters and allies. This return isn’t just a comeback—it feels redivivus, a rebirth. I’m here to celebrate womanhood in all its glorious forms and to stand as living proof that authenticity is power. I’m Seven Grant—a sui generis force, forged by grit, research, and reinvention; model, heale...
