Always and forever, gugu’s ultimate pride & joy.
Not many things I’ve to be proud of in these 35 years, but seeing my Lord of the Lord of the Lord Omnicron turn 9 today and the charming “photocopy” of your gugu – hate math, champ of the champ in being smart lazy ass, the never-ending candies, the super expensive taste, mischievous but clever in “negating” liability and love for food plus a belly that grows in tandem (SADLY!!!) – sigh… gugu just hope you won’t be the 600lb like “My 600lb life” reality show contestants that we love to watch together!
In those 2 really really difficult years that you and didi were taken away overnight and we never had any contact, gugu had to learn to live life all over again – because virtually everything, be it the places, the daily routines, the things you would say and the time we had together especially “cheating” in your math class during MCO – reminded me of you….
And I’ll forever remember our first encounter after these 2 years – you ran into the house, to me seated at the sofa and said “Hello gugu, how are you?”, followed by your signature grin, but this time, with 2 missing front teeth. I can’t tell you the tears I cried after you left – how the hurt consumed all of me of how much I missed you in my life.
To the only man of your gugu’s universe, never doubt gugu’s love for you, always and forever – no matter where from. Even if far away, I’ll forever promise to watch over you – as you grow, every single milestone of your life, to keep you in safe arms, healthy, happy and be the man you are destined to be; I fervently pray God allows me to witness even if from another realm.
