for koko

humans taught koko a lot of "human" stuff
but koko taught humans that this was
not enough.
koko taught all who knew her
that commmunication
could be achieved with love
and dedication.
though
she was far from her natural
comfort zone
but she did what she could
to feel "at home"
her story is both humbling
and it inspires.
to find our own inner koko
we should all aspire

rest in peace
on angel wings
