"Hey Mom, Can I have an Iguana." Is how we first met.
I didn't even know my oldest daughter knew what an Iguana was, I know
I only somewhat knew myself. Well, while shopping for my other pets at
the pet store, we looked in on the resident Iguanas and you were choosen over
all the others to come home with us.

I should have known better, my daughter never stayed interested in anything
longer than a few weeks,thus you became mine and we became the best of budddies.
Not only did I enjoy shopping for all the unique foods you required to stay healthy,
and the special lights, but getting all those odd looks from people when I
said, "Oh no, it's not for me, it's for my Iguana."

I enjoyed watching you grow into the handsome five year old
and I had such great pride to know you belonged to me and seeing
all the looks on the guys faces when they saw a woman could raise such
a magnificent creature and the women's when they thought I had lost my mind
to have such a thing in my house.
I had such great plans for us and the future, but, it was not to be, so I thank
GOD I had you in my life at all and the great joy and love you gave me to the
very end.

Lizzy, the girls and I and yes those darn noisey dogs and cat
miss you too. It is just not the same without you. Thank you for bringing
such joy into my life and I thank GOD for allowing me to share my life withyou.

Until we meet again my sweet Rocko.

Mommy misses and loves you dearly.
