It’s been three months since I lost my sweet Sushi on July 22, 2024, and my heart still feels so heavy with the overwhelming sadness and guilt. Since May 2022, she brought endless joy and love into my life. She was more than just a pet; she was my family—a little ball of fur with such a big personality that filled my days with happiness.
Sushi had a unique charm that was all her own. Her love for bottle caps turned every mundane moment into a playful adventure. I wish I could hear the delightful sound of her batting them around the house once more, her little paws racing after them. Those times were filled with laughter, and I can still picture her triumphant little face when she’d finally catch one and do her victory walk down the hallway.
Her cuddles were the best part of every day. She would snuggle up beside me, purring softly as if to say everything was right in the world. I miss the warmth of her body against mine and the way she’d curl up in the crook of my arm or on top of my legs making them fall asleep, making me feel like the luckiest person alive.
Sushi was an expert bird-watcher, spending countless hours perched by the window, captivated by the world outside. I often found myself laughing at her wide-eyed fascination, as if she were imagining herself flying alongside them. I could watch her for hours, completely mesmerized by her joy.
Car rides were her ultimate adventure—her excitement was contagious! The way she’d settle in, ears perked up, and meerkat ready to explore the world, brought me so much joy. I’ll forever cherish the memories of her little head looking out the window and her tail flickering.
And who could forget her dramatic protests during bath time? She truly made her opinions known, and I couldn’t help but laugh at her antics. But despite her protests, she welcomed her little kitten friends with open paws, turning our home into a whirlwind of playful chaos and love. Those moments filled our days with laughter and companionship.
Every day without her feels incomplete. I miss her gentle presence, the way she would nuzzle my hand for attention, and her comforting purrs that could soothe any stress. Sushi had an incredible ability to know when I needed her most, always there to lift my spirits with her unwavering love.
It’s hard to believe it’s been three months since she left, and the ache in my heart reminds me of the beautiful bond we shared proving to myself that you can't control what's going to happen. Sushi, you left paw prints on my heart, and I wish our time together hadn’t been cut short. Thank you for every laugh, every snuggle, and every joyful moment we shared. You were a bright light in my life, and I’ll forever hold you close in my heart.
Rest in peace, my sweet girl. You will always be my shining star, and I promise to carry your memory with me always.
