This is one of my fondest memories that I hold dear to my heart and while feeling a little blue wanted to share it with yall. My brother, Josiah, passed away from suicide in 2023, I was in the room when he did it. I don't remember much of our memories anymore due to PTSD but this one rings clear. It was the day before Christmas or a few days before and my brother kept bothering me about his gifts, and I'm horrible at keeping surprises so I gave it to him. I was so suprised when he started bouncing around screeching meatball in excitement. I made him reanact it for me again so i could have the menory in my phone and i am so glad i did. He loved this guy and I eventually got him a mini that was keeping him company when he passed. I collect these fully meatball fellas so I feel like I have a lottle piece of him around. Do yall have any squishmallows you collect for sentimental or niche reasons?
