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

My dearest Vixen, Hun-hun, Sen-sen,

Happy birthday.

I don't know where you are now, as I don't believe in an afterlife. One thing I do know: you are in my heart. Not a day goes by when I do not think about you, my lovely Sen-sen.

I miss you so much. One day my ashes will be scattered where you are buried.

I love you, my dearest baby. You were with me your entire life. I miss you. If fate is kind, we shall be together again one day.

Remembering Wolfie (2003?-Aug. 22, 2015), who died a year and a day ago

Dear Wolfie,

I'm sorry I forgot your anniversary. Maybe that's why I felt bad last night. 

And I'm sorry I couldn't have given you a better life. For the most part it was up to Mommy.

However, those last years were good, weren't they? The petting, the times you could run around, the food that wasn't slop.

Be in peace, dear Wolfie. My apologies again, and my love.

Remembering with love my dearest Garpy (Dec. 29, 1982-Aug. 10, 199), today, the anniversary of his death

My dearest Garpy,

When you left, it was one of the saddest days of my life. I didn't want to love again. Losing you was so painful.

I remember how you waited for me before going, how we spent the day together, and I remember how I cried when I felt you would be going and when I got word that you had died during the night.

I love you, my baby, my Garpolito. I miss you.

Remembering with love my dearest Boobie (June 18, 1991-July 21, 2005), who died 12 years ago this day

My dearest Boobie,

Everything changed when I lost you, when I had to let you go that terrible day in July 2005. The world dimmed, my life dimmed. I couldn't even listen to music.

I love you, my baby. my Boobisie, my Bhooobie, and I miss you every day of my life.

I believe we shall be together again, and that you, Almond, Vixen, and Garpy will come to fetch me when my time comes.

I love you, my baby.

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

Happy birthday, my baby Boobie, my Boobs, my Bhooooobie.

My life changed when you came into it. Who can forget the first time I held you, when you chewed on a button of my shirt? Or that evening when I came home and you were standing behind Mama and looking at me? I fell in love.

I miss you. my baby. I love you, and I will love you always. Hopefully, we will be together again.

Remembering my most lovely Mondy (Dec. 16,1994-June 2 ,2007) today, the anniversary of the day she left us

My dearest Mondy, my Alimondmon, my Come Baby.

I miss you every day. I see a lot of you in Red, the way she follows me around the way you used to, how she demands to be carried. But you are you and she is she, and I miss you so much. I miss your sleeping on my lap. I miss your antics. I so wanted you with me that, what the hell, who cares if I didn't into law school? Remember that silent deal I made? If I didn't get into law school that year (1995), I get you?

I got the winner. I got you.

A little more than 12 wonderful years with a wonderful baby.

I love you, my baby, my Come Baby.

I will miss you always, until we're together again.

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

Happy birthday, Pru-pru.

We should have had you longer. You gave us so much joy. Thank you for those years you were with us. For those times you would escape the store and go up to my parents' room and lick their faces.

I love you, dearest Pru-pru. We shall be together again someday.

In loving memory of Five (February 8, 1998-September 30, 2012) on the anniversary of his birth

Happy birthday, Five.

The strongest of them all, and yet so beautiful.

We miss you so much. You were so much a part of the store and our lives. You were mistreated by those fucks, but you remained beautiful.

We remember you today, as we remember you always.

Happy birthday, Five.

We love you always.

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

My dearest Pru,

I fell again today, perhaps to remind me that today is your death anniversary. You gave so much joy to me and my parents, the latter who wanted you so much.

We always loved you, Pru, and we always will. Mommy and Daddy are gone now, and perhaps you are together, in all the funny ways back then.

I love you, Pru. Death doesn't change that.

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

I miss you, Pru-pru.

You were so special. You are.

I will love you always.

Happy birthday, baby.
