I didn't lose a dog, or a buddy. I lost a son I could never have. Thank you for 16yrs of some of the best days of my life!
I miss you Koko, I will miss you for as long as I live my remaining days. You were my loyal companion. You define loyalty to a whole new level. You were always by my side, literally. And in those days when I was travelling and wasn’t home, you choose to lay on my clothes in the closet. Those days I wasn’t home you wouldn’t even come down to eat. Those days I wasn’t home you comfort me with thoughts of all our good times together. There were times when your mama would even put me on speaker-phone to talk to you because she worried about you.
It’s true that parents don’t ever want to see their children go before them. But the way that you showed me how much you miss me when I was gone was a painful display of what one of us will ultimately have to go through. I would rather take this pain for you Koko. You helped me ease the pain of losing Scully. And your priceless presence helped me beyond words when I was short on air to breathe from a world without Susan. Then there was me and you…who will be the last one to carry the pain? I will gladly take it from you my Litalwan. Be at peace where you are and know that I'm looking forward to running with you again, to be swimming with you in warm waters, to cuddle you and squeeze you tight. Give your mama a big hug and a kiss and Scully a good chewing on her ear for me and Molly a sweet nudge. I love you my Kokomo, my little one, my buddy, my boy, my Little Angel!

I leave you some of the videos I made of Kokomo when he was still with me. Because I don't think I will ever have the capacity to even find and gather strength to create one now that he's gone.

Where He Waits For Me...now he will have to wait for me in heaven.
