We received a heartfelt message from a customer who ordered knitted memorial goods in memory of their beloved pet.
*“Our family’s idol, Choco (a 5-year-old Dachshund), passed away. In my grief and despair, I stumbled upon this blog. Struggling with deep pet loss, I decided to order a Small Tapestry. Now, it hangs in my living room, and every day I say, ‘Choco, Mommy is going out now!’ as if speaking to him. Because it’s not just printed but knitted stitch by stitch, Choco feels so real to me.
I also had a Small Cushion made from a photo of his sleepy face, and I placed it on Choco’s altar. It feels like he’s right beside my bed at night. Even though pets leave this world, they continue to live forever in our hearts.
Our time together was short—only five years—but I am filled with gratitude. Without these works, my heart might have remained in darkness.
Goodbye, pet loss.
And thank you, Choco.
Thank you, Mr. Miasa, for creating such beautiful pieces. I was also so touched that you added Choco’s name on the ribbon of the wrapping. It made me very happy. Thank you so much.”*
Behind the Order
Choco’s illness was discovered suddenly, and before the family could prepare, he was gone. In the midst of overwhelming grief, regret, and helplessness, the customer found my blog and decided to place an order.
The first order was for a tapestry. After receiving it, they asked for an additional cushion. For the second delivery, we added Choco’s name to the ribbon as a small personal touch.
The customer kindly sent several photos, and together we discussed which one would be best to use. Through many emails, we were able to create pieces they were truly satisfied with.
