Dear Koa,
You have been gone now for 3 months and on this Friday July 27th I sit and remember you and our last day together. I am heartbroken that you had to leave this Earth the way you did. I am so sorry that I could not save you. People say your work here was done and you were needed elsewhere. Maybe that is true but it just feels like your work had just begun. You were only 22 months old so how could your work be done? Keola and Kanoa are fine and keep me busy but never too busy to think about you and miss you every day. They would have loved you and you would have had such a good time with thme. To think that they will not remember you makes me so sad. You were part of our family when they came into this world and now you are gone. Some days I don’t know how I can go on but I always do. I am so angry at Hapu’s parents for leaving poison in their yard for you to find. It just is unimaginable to me that they could be so negligant but nothing will bring you back so I go on day by day. You will never be forgotten and I hope one day I can look upon your life as the blessing that I know it was. Right now I just miss you and wish you could come home to me. Someday Booberry…
we’ll be together again.
I love you today, tomorrow and always,
| Khani, Kirk, Keola, and Kanoa |
