A TRIBUTE TO AN ANGEL WITHOUT WINGS

Dear Coco,

Today, my best friend, you've been gone a year.

You were my guardian angel.
My confidante.
My protector.

But you were not of this world.

You came from a place where—

Language was not spoken.
Only felt—
An unfiltered presence.

Where kindness was the culture.
Not a choice—
But unconditional.

Where patience was your birthright.
Not a virtue.
Simply instinct.

And love was simple—
Not complex.
A connection rooted in loyalty.

I lost you, Coco—

Fourteen years of
Stealing blankets.

Fourteen years of
Rolling over for treats.

Fourteen years of
Becoming who you were.
Of becoming who I am.

Fourteen years of
We—Coco and I.

You had to leave, I know—
Time had called you back home.

But before you left, you gifted me—

A lifetime of gratitude,
A lifetime of joy,
And a lifetime of love.

Thank you, dear Coco.

My angel without wings.

Forever in my heart.❤️
