To my baby Kali,4 years ago, you arrived in our lives when we least expected it. Never in my life did I ever imagine having a chow-chow since you’re breed is kind of rare(in the area). Still, I specifically asked for you, and I chose you.You were one of the greatest blessings in my life along with Tala, Muffin, Milo, Max & Mitzie. But since you were different, the kind of love, patience, understanding, and care I gave you had to be different as well.People see me with you and would always have sad looks on their faces—they feel bad for me since my world seems to revolve around you. Dili Ko basta-basta maka-byahe, makalaag ug uban pa tungod kay naa ka. But it wasn’t a sacrifice for me because I love spending time with you, taking care of you. Chow-chows are like that, you see. They tend to be loyal to just one person. They’ll recognize you if you live in their territory but they would only be loyal to just one person in that house. And it was a great opportunity for me to be that person for you. It’s just sad that people will never know how you show your love, care, and protection because I was the only one who’ve seen and experienced it. Sa Lapas upat ka tuig nga naka-uban taka my Tating, daghan Ko nakat-unan. Daghan Ko na-experience nga Dili nako ma-experience ug ma-feel kung wala ka niabot sa amoang kinabuhi. I never regret all my decisions and actions for you, my baby. Travel plans cancelled? I don’t care. Di ka-gawas o kalaag kay masuko ka, it’s okay because mas gusto sab nako kauban ka. Dili ka-uban mamaligya kay mamita , it’s okay kay it’s my honor na atimanun ka. Dili nako ibaylo ang mga panahon nga kauban ka sa maskin unsa nga butang sa kalibutan. This year has had so many trials for us but I never expected the biggest one would strike me like a cannonball. When you got sick, I was surprised kay Wala nako mahuna-hunaan that that would be the beginning of the end. People would tell me I did everything I could have done but I still feel like it wasn’t enough—like I could have done more. Still, I am grateful to God that you’ve drawn your last breath in my arms while I was telling you how much I love you & while I was singing my song to you.“I love you forever, I like you for always.As long as I’m living, my baby, you’ll be.”I’ve sung that song to you like a million times and I meant every word of it. But now, every time I remember it, it always brings me to tears since your pogi face would always come to mind. I love my Kali, forever and always. I will never forget all my times with you. I will never move on from this heartache of losing you but I will try my best to smile and laugh and live my life so I can still take care of and love Tala, Muffin, Milo, Max & Mitzie. I might cry now and then from missing you but I would still try to find the strength to push through all life is left to offer me. I love you so much my Tating.
