I miss her so much.” Felix mourned the next day after the fateful event. “We got her when, as long as I have been with Marzi. We got her soo early when I was in Sweden. I didn’t have money back then. I was at the start of my YouTube and scrambled together everything we had and she cost just as much as we had. It was almost fated.”

The Swedish YouTuber continued with watery eyes and a sunken voice, “We did everything we could to make her as good as we could, but it wasn’t enough. We sacrificed so much just to take care of her, but looking back, I don’t regret any of it. I’m so glad we did it. Because she deserved it…”
