My Deco,
there's no way I can think of sadness when I remember you and all the moments we spent together. It's been 12 years of love, companionship, joy and loyalty and I honestly can't remember living without you by my side, I can't remember coming home and not seeing you, I can't remember what our house was like without one of you always waiting for me. You were part of the happiest moments but also the saddest and it was so good to know that at the end of the day, whether it was good or bad, I always had a kiss from my goofball. You've been a fighter all these years, since you were six months old they said you wouldn't survive and that you'd be a goner, but as at every time in your life you turned it around and managed to overcome the problem, showing everyone how much you wanted to live. My silly deco, how much I'll miss seeing you, smelling you, how much I'll miss calling you 'Dare' and all the other names that you understood to be yours, how much I'll miss hearing the way that only you drink water, seeing your awkward way of being, how much I'll miss everything my love, I wish it were possible to freeze time and have the opportunity to have you for the rest of my life. Rest my love... I hope you know that sis will love you forever and that we'll all miss you very much. So long, my goofy...
Until one day my faithful friend, I love you very much. From your brother who loves you unconditionally.
So long, Deco. One day Mom will meet you. I love you more than anything.
My true champion, I love you forever my Deco.
Your father's.
