Okay, I think I can do this now...
Dear Joanne,
I'm so sad to hear that little Yoshi has passed on. My heart is broken with yours. I cried when I read your post today. I, like so many here, have become attached to that little bugger and I wish it could have been different. He was extremely ill and you tried so hard to save him and make him healthy again. Believe me when I tell you, you were Yoshi's hero. You loved him and cared for him everyday. He brightened up for you when you held him because he knew your hands were gentle and caring and filled with love for him. That was his way of showing you he was feeling happy and loved you too, by brightening up for you.
Please don't ever think you let any of us down or you did anything wrong. It's quite the opposite. Everyone here admires your courage for stepping up to care for Yoshi! You did a wonderful thing. You did everything humanly possible to help him. We all know it wasn't easy. I'm sure you struggled many times with what to do. You did more than most would have done. You are an amazing young lady and I'm proud of you for fighting so hard for him! Yoshi knew love because that's what you gave him everyday, without fail.
I would like to imagine that he's crossed over to a place full of beardie happiness, full of warmth and lots of places to climb so he can bask in the sunshine! Grassy fields to run in and endless superworms for him to crunch on! As much as we wished he could've stayed longer, it was time for him to go and we have no choice but to let him... I know it will take a while but, I hope your your heart will stop hurting soon and you will be able to smile once again when you think about him. Rest easy little Yoshi, you will be missed so much by so many. XOXOXO
