Lovingly remembering Garpy (Dec. 29,1982-Aug. 10, 1991) today, the anniversary of his death

My dearest Garpy,

You were such a gift (in fact you were) and a blessing to me. How could I have survived those years had you not been there?

I love you, my baby.

Those lonely nights when I would stay up to write, and you would stay up as well, chewing on a bone. Or those mornings we would chase each other around and sometimes knock some items down, like the black swan. Those times I held you in my bed, as you slept on me.

I love you, my Garpolito, "dear darling of my soul," and I miss you. You gave me so much.

Remembering with love my precious Vixen (September 1, 1998-December 20, 2011), today, the anniversary of her death

My baby, my dearest baby,

What a terrible day it was, that day I let you go. I love you so much, and I miss you so much.

You were a blessing to me all those years you were with me.

The things you did, your antics, the love you gave me.

Thank you so much, my baby, my lovely.

If I could just relive those years, over and over till the day I die.

I love you, my dearest baby. You will always be in my heart, my Vixen, my Hun-hun, my Sen-sen, my Vicky.

Lovingly remembering my dearest Almond (December 16, 1994-June 2, 2007) today, the anniversary of her birth

Happy birthday, my baby Almond, my Mondy, my Alimondmond, my Comebaby.

I love you, and I miss you so much, my dearest Comebaby.

We had wonderful years, didn't we? In many ways you saved my life.

You were there. Every day you were with me, you saved my life.

Thank you so much, my Comebaby.

I will love you forever.

Lovingly remembering Greta (1985-Nov. 7, 1998) on her death anniversary

My dearest Greta,

It was a sad day when we let go you. You were so frail already, and you were letting things by you. It was time.

But we loved you your entire life, and those of us who remain in this world still love you now, even now that you're gone.

You remember your "song hits" or how you wiggled on the floor. The store was your place. You were always gentle. Our biggest regret was that you never had puppies. It would have been nice if your line had survived somehow, dearest Greta.

I love you, I miss you. Maybe we shall meet again one day.

Lovingly remembering Five (Feb. 8-Sept. 30, 2012) today, his death anniversary

My dearest Five,

Always know that you are missed.

And you are loved, even though you are gone from our midst.

We are thankful for the years you gave us, you, the strongest of them all.

Five, Five, Five!!!

Remembering with love my dearest Vixen (September 1, 1998-December 20, 2011), today, the anniversary of her birth

My dearest baby,

Happy birthday. The years that we spent together were so special. We lay beside each other every night. Many times you even lay on me, on my neck, because you were afraid of the rain.

I love you, my baby, and I miss you so much. From the very start, I believe, you were meant for me. We had wonderful times, those happy, little, everyday things. Just the way you would wake up and come to me while I was working, seeking attention. I look forward to the day we can be together again.

I love you, my dearest Vixen. Always.

Remembering with love my dearest Garpy (Dec. 29, 1982-Aug. 10, 1991), today, the anniversary of his death

My dearest Garpy,

It was a terrible day when I lost you. The days that followed were terrible times as well.

You were the best of me and for me till you left. You were the light in the dark days.

I will always love you.

From Dickens: "Farewell, dear darling of my soul. A parting blessing on my love. We shall meet again, where the weary are at rest." ("A Tale of Two Cities")

I love you, my Garpolito. May we be together again soon.

Remembering with utmost love my baby Boobie (June 18,1991-July 21, 2005) today, the anniversary of his death

My dearest baby,

When I had to let you go, it was one of the saddest days of my life. But I was so lucky to have you for fourteen years. You made us laugh. You made us feel loved. You were YOU.

I love you, my baby, my Boobiesie, my Babysie, my Bhoooobie. The way you rolled on my belly when I carried you. The way you blocked the way when we were to leave. The way you started the howling session. The way you clawed at me, demanding attention while I was at the computer. Simply the way you looked at us. Being you.

I love you, my baby, and I miss you. I will miss you always. May we be together again someday, if only in ashes.

Remembering with love my baby Boobie (June 18, 1991-July 21, 2005) today, on the anniversary of his birth

Happy birthday, my dearest baby, my Boobie, my Bhooobie, my babysie, my Boobs, my Boobiesie.

Thank you so much for coming into my life and giving me joy every day that we were together.

My life changed when I lost you.

I love you so much, my dearest Boobiesie, and I will love till the day I die and we can be together again, if only in ashes.

I miss you so much, my baby, my dearest baby.

In loving memory of my dearest Almond (December 16, 1994-June 2, 2007), today the anniversary of her death

My dearest Almond,

How I miss you. You made bad days feel good. You were and are so beautiful.

How I miss the days with you, Boobie, and Vixen. Life was complete then.

How I miss holding you while I watched TV, or the way you would follow me around, or do sunbathing outside. Or go up the landing to escape Boobie or Vixen.

I miss how you demanded that I take you on my lap so you could sleep on me. I miss hearing your howl.

"Love ko yan. Love na love ko yan."

Humans and babies should have the same life expectancies. Maybe then the hurt wouldn't be so bad.

I love you, my Almond, my Mondy, my Alimondmond,  my dearest, dearest, dearest Come Baby.

Loving remembering Prudence (April 2, 1999-January 13, 2006) today, the anniversary of her birth

Happy birthday, Five, the strongest of them all.

It was such a joy when you were born, so big and bright.

I miss you, darling Five, and I will love you always.

My dearest Pru,

I don't know why you were the earliest to leave, but you gave all of us such joy. My parents, me, my family.

We love you, Pru, and we will love you always.

Wait for me. Surely we will together again one day.
