My dearest Koa,
It has been 1 year and 3 months since you left me so suddenly at only 22 months old. I can’t begin to tell you how much I have missed you during this time and how often I think about you.
Even though you weren’t my first little doggie to love, you were so special in your own way. You were with me when Keola and Kanoa came into this world and I will never forget the time we spent together during my pregnancy. You made me so happy. I couldn’t have guessed in a million years that I would lose you so tragically.
I am now writing you this letter to let you know that tomorrow I will be bringing home your 1/2 brother. I hope this is what you would have wanted, I think it is. His name will be Kaina which means younger brother. Although he won’t be you, he is your little brother and I know in time I will love him as much as I loved you. I never thought after Kawika died that I could love another doggie as much as I loved him but then you came along and I did find the same love for you as I had for him.
Kaina will never replace you, I know but I hope he will help me find peace and love and forgiveness. I need to do this even though at times I think I can’t. I have been sad for so long now I just want to be happy again. Please ask God to help this wish come true. I will love you forever and I hope I will not forget the little things about you. You are in my heart and my soul always!
I love you today, tomorrow, and forever,
