Colorado went home to jesus on Thursday afternoon, january 8,2026, surrounded by his family. Colorado was the center of my world. He was rescued at a year old from a terrible meth house. After we rescued him, we learned that he had the most beautiful personality ever. He was a gentle soul who never showed anger or mistrust. He only gave unconditional love. Through the years and my many surgeries, he always stayed right beside me and protected me while I recovered. He was my companion, my son, my everything.The reason I got out of bed in the morning. He loved to go on car rides and always rode shotgun. He loved playing with his Frisbee in the swimming pool. He loved his little brother Samson, who mommy got for him when he was three years old, so he wouldn't be so lonely. Colorado love the snow and would lay out in the middle of a blizzard. But he always was brought into the warm house and laid at our feet and laid beside my side of the bed his whole life. Colorado was a unique soul in this world. He never got upset, always had patience and unconditional love. The memory of that love right to his dying moment when he was kissing my hand, will never leave me. At his peak was a 120 pounds of greatness. I believe he was an angel sent to this world to teach me more about God and how we need to seek after him if we ever want to see them in heaven. So Colorado, you did your job well, mommy will seek after God more.So she can come home to you real soon. You wait at the gate for me when God tells you iIm coming home, because I want to see you first thing. Until then, my sweet angel just know you were loved so much. You were my son, and my heart is broken. The world will never be happy again until I hold you in my arms. Just know that your love meant more to me than anything in this world. You were the greatest teacher of love I've ever had. I miss you so much my heart feels like it's bleeding and I know it will never be the same.
