My Dear Jason, You're Always on Our Minds...

In Loving Memory of Jason Koushabadi

You're the sweetest, most beautiful and lovable thing we had in our lives. That golden-brown fur with white highlights, those cute peaceful brown eyes, those low-hanging ears, that soft leather-like black nose, those long sharp nails, those tiny white teeth within your long and always wet muzzle.

I just can't help thinking about the last time we saw you, and all your kindness towards us. We had you since you were just a week old puppy. What a joy we had giving you your milk bottle! You started to grow up very fast, and we really loved having you around us. We loved to see you fooling around and doing fun silly things like walking on two feet!

You always wanted to have someone to love you and care for you, but unfortunately we weren't the best in taking care of you. As I said, you were growing too fast and you needed more play and fun but we didn't have enough time.

I could see you were really missing us all. All four of us, especially me, were too busy this year but we tried our best to devote some time to you, but we all know it wasn't enough at all. Especially these last months we could really see you were suffering from loneliness, but the minute you saw us, you were as happy as you could be.

In spite of your short life, only 8 months, I feel I've known you for a long time. Yesterday, one of the saddest days of my life, we lost you in a very bad way.

Today your physical body is not among us anymore but I aasure you that the sweet memories of you will remain in our hearts forever. You are always on our minds...
