I could remember vividly, that very day Alex left us. It grieved me so deeply and my world just became dull and joyless. I missed him so much that I couldn’t sleep. Why didn’t I go and fetch him back on Sunday? I didn’t expect he was gone the next day. Whenever I look at that empty space, I would think of him. The house was once filled with joy and laughter…now, it is lifeless.

Alex was 13 years old when he left us. We first met when he was 9 months. He was mischievous and never listened to us when he first came. Alex loved to whine to seek our attention. He was adorable that one couldn’t resist touching him. His eyes were always filled with joy and energy. And, he never rejected listening to your problems. He always welcomed you, no matter rain or shine. I felt remorseful that I didn’t treat him better. Now, he is gone forever. He had left us with sweet memories that I would never forget in my life… I can never forget him.

Alex: You will not be forgotten and will be missed by all of us. We love you and we thank you for your company for the past 13 years. Be a good boy and rest in peace.

Alex’s ashes were thrown into the sea. I’m trying to convince myself that he is no longer with us and is currently travelling around the world. At the end of day, I would tell myself that there is a time for everything.

In memory of Alex: 1992 – 2006
