Dear Alvin,it took me some time to absorb the sorrowful news of your death. A month ago, I had a dream about a family member in a coffin. It was hazy, but I didn't pay much attention. I rebuked it. Receiving the news seemed like a dream as well. Since Lola passed away, I recall that you've been with us for 2 years. Mama, looked after you. You were with us in our hardest times, and mama always prioritized you even before us. She love her pamangkins. And despite the years that went by, she always anticipated seeing you again. She still has your pictures displayed on her wall, you know. There were no single day that she would missed out praying for you all "she mentions everyone, especially you. Please know that to her, you are still living. She cares for you deeply. I dreamed of you last night coming back to the Philippines, and we were all together again. Soar high, our beloved.

It is with a sad & heavy heart that I never got the chance to meet you my dear nephew Alvin. I have long been praying that you will go home to your mama & I will get to see you together. You were really the one who took after your mama & is so Chinese looking. Now that you are an angel above, please take care of your mama, your siblings & everyone in the family. Be at peace now & forever in the perpetual light of the Lord. 🙏 I love you our nephew. 💐❤️ My heartfelt condolences & sympathy to your family specially your mama.

It’s been more than two decades since I last saw you. I was quite young to remember your voice, but I do remember that you spent time with us, playing with our toys, Kuya. It was heartbreaking for us, unexpectedly and without warning. I pray to God that Aunt Lisa will get through this heartbreaking news. Kuya Alvin, I pray that the Lord gives us time to be with you, but I guess the Lord has a better plan—a place for you where there is no pain. We love you, Kuya Alvin <3. Until we meet again.

This is not the scenario I was expecting to happened cuz, I was hoping for a happy ones if we see each other again.
I remember when you’re still a kid and I’m teenager, we’re living with Lola we felt then the love and sense of security that there’s someone who is always there for us at the end of the day.
The day you gone refreshes the sorrow in me when Lola left, because I remember those moments the three of us I thought wouldn’t end. The time we’ve been to Science fair in LIT. I was protecting you not to be scared because you were little then. But you just said you’re not afraid because they’re just fakes. That’s how smart and braved you are cuz. The moment we’d been to Gaisano, buy new toy but you can’t chose any design anymore because you had them most. You didn’t cry because you were thinking my reaction too if that happens. That’s how considerate you are for the feeling of others. I will forever cherished those moments with you my dear little Alvin.🥺🥲😢💔💝💕♥️
