Cut------------------------------Paste "You gave me the ocean!" a excited boy used to surprising others exclaimed with a smile remembering! He always said to me, "I will never forget what you did."
I miss him badly. Kylee recently passed away. When we first met there was something very special between us. He sent me a neck bag with personal things including a key inside that was to his heart. For over a year I never took it off. The first day we met I picked him up and drove him to a motel on the beach. From the bed we sat there watching the waves and laughing enjoying, sometimes never thinking these days would end and are some of the best times in life. There is no denying that the very part of who you are came from the people who were close to you.

http://www.whiteshepherd.furtopia.org/pictures/kylee_n_me/NEW.MP3 - When we first met there was a lot of hopes. Me being the silly and unknown white dog in love wrote hokey amature songs about hope when we would get together.

I loved him very much and for a long time. But with time comes experience and we both had agree to agree we were better friends than mates. Even though he went home and he was not my mate I still care and love him as a very dear friend. I don't know if he knew it but he was close to my heart and dear to me. I missed an opportunity to tell him that before he was gone and I will always regret the loss to one of the VERY few people who EVER took the time to get to know me.
Close to the date Kylee was supposed to go home from here the doctors discovered a tumor in his cheek. They removed it and it tested benign. We both thought he was better. So two weeks later Kylee went home. We talked on the phone on rare occasion and I enjoyed when I would hear from him wishing very much he would call more. Fool that I was I was afraid he did not wish to hear from me.
Two weeks ago Kylee passed away from another tumor. The cancer got to strong for him and he lost his life to it. I called his mom to find out how he was doing and got the news.
Whatever happens Kylee... where ever you are... I hope and pray you always get to keep your gift of the ocean and know I always cared for you even during the hard times. I hope you can always smile with that awnery grin I know so well. I kept your secret blend poupori box next to my desk always since you left. I smell it (it smells like you) every time I needed to remember you these years. Dream well my missing "dear" "dear" friend. I hope we meet again some day beyond reach of this cloudy world...
I truly hurt so it's time for me to say goodbye for now...
