"I did not meet death until recently when it came to see me. And it cut a part of my heart and left.
"I have seen death around me and on tv and mobile screens and I have seen others talk about death visiting them. But until death came and tore me apart. I did not know its darkness.
"Kobie you were a part of me and a part of my flesh. And the death of you has been a death of a part of me. Right now it feels like the death of all of me. I will miss your eyes and your mouth.
"Your nose and your face. Your smell and your sound. I will miss how you loved me and how we loved each other unconditionally.
