Inspiration
Dear Loco, I shared this link with all. Anu and Mana wrote back with lovely, lovely things. Mum wrote back with lovely things. LOOK at what you’ve inspired. You’re magic, baby. I’ve purchased so many domains this year – all in the hopes of creating something – and NADA. You pass, and I write. Everything…

Add title
Dear Loco, It’s a little bit hilarious to think I have a “Title” for everyday of my life dedicated to some secret lesson I gleaned from your life. I inscribed the book we gave Lana with a message from you. I always imagined I’d like to leave a little love behind when I left this…

A new domain
Dear Loco, Today, I bought dearloco.comI spent the day working, and setting up this homage to you. To my life being everything you represented. To paying attention to the little things.

If we’re going to have a reincarnation situation, then I’m going to name the Loco-est Kitten Slartibartfast as I originally intended with you.You do have his BIG personality, and general swagger. Luna keeps inviting me outside –…

Come rain, come shine
Dear Loco, When we left the crematorium, it started to pour and I wondered if the heavens were grieving as I was. I played our song on the ride back home. https://youtu.be/q4GJVOMjCC4 Azur told me things that greatly comforted me in my grief. A lifetime of saying the wrong(ish) things boiled down to one moment…

Natsukashii
Dear Loco, I googled words for a deep, deep, relentless sorrow – The kind that feels like it will swallow you whole, but that might only be the beginning – and I came up with Natsukashii. a nostalgic longing for the past, with happiness for the fond memory, yet sadness that it is no longer.Is…
