Today we said goodbye to our sweet boy, Kobe Lee. For 9 incredible years, you filled our lives with unconditional love, loyalty, and memories we’ll cherish forever. You weren’t “just a dog”—you were family, my first baby boy, and the heart of our home. You were Trey’s very first best friend, and you welcomed every chapter of our lives with your wagging tail. You were waiting at home when I brought our daughter home after she was born in December 2020, and from that moment on, you became her protector and best friend. You laid on the bathroom floor while she took her baths, slept beside her when she was sick, and comforted her whenever she needed you. For the past five years, the bond you shared with her was something truly special. Watching her say goodbye to her best friend has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever experienced. You were there through every milestone—our growing family, the memories in our first home, and even getting to experience our new home, if only for a short time. Every room feels a little quieter without you. Thank you for every tail wag, every cuddle, every kiss, and every moment of unconditional love. The paw prints you left on our hearts will never fade. Run free, sweet boy. Until we meet again, you’ll always be loved, always be missed, and never be forgotten. Forever our Kobe Lee.
