I expected one day to come back here and maybe reopen this blog and share my sassy little man with all of you again like the old days.
But instead, I come here to be the bearer of sad news.
Yoshi sadly passed away this morning in my hands before my very own eyes. It was so sudden, and traumatic. It... wasn't easy to watch him die. I felt helpless because I couldn't stop it. And worst of all, I still don't know why it happened. There were no signs, nothing. He had been acting normally up until the moment I saw him struggling to breathe at the bottom of his cage. And only a few seconds after I grabbed him, he was gone.
I held him in my arms like a baby, and cried over him for a good while. He gave me so much joy in six years. I went outside to our backyard with my mom, dug out a little burial site and put him inside. I said my goodbyes and buried him, and I placed flowers on his grave.
The house already feels quiet and empty without him. His little chirps and wolf whistles were the highlight of my day. I loved him deeply and I forever will. Thank you all for the love and support you all showed me during all these years, even after I closed the blog. Thank you all for so many years of love and support. I'm eternally grateful...
I am glad I was able to give the little guy a good home. He made me laugh so much in 6 years and I couldn't have wished for a better bird. I'm glad I was able to share most of his life with you guys here... now I have a place where I can go back and remember the good times I had with him. I'm taking solace in the fact that I was with him during his last moments, and I held him until his last breath.
May your song live forever in my heart, little guy. Fly high in Heaven. I will light up a candle in your honor tonight.
