To Arcade:
I love you. Although you have only been with me for 6 days, I am so emotionally attached to you that I find it hard to let go. From the moment I first met you, I already had feelings for you. I knew I had to take care of you. Nobody else would. Although your chances of survival are slim, I knew I still had to give you the chance. Now that you are gone, I cry for many reasons. I know I shouldn't cry as I have done my best to take care of you, but yet my heart weeps. It weeps for the fact that you came to this world and suffered, seperated from your mother at birth, unable to feel the warmth and love your mother would have gave you. If weeps because you never had the chance to open your eyes, to see what a beautiful world it is, to see the faces of those that truely care for you. As much as i weep, yet I am happy for you. You have gone on to a better place, one where you need not suffer anymore, one where you can be much happier. I am happy for that, yet sad and unable to cope with your loss. I had told myself to prepare for the worst, but when the worst came, I still could not hold back my tears, because I love you. The whole family loves you. I hope you are happier at wherever you are, and I hope that someday you might come back to visit us. We are always ready to welcome you back. Already I miss you. But go. Go to a place where you can find happiness, find nice people who will take care of you like us and not abandon you. Go Arcade, you are finally free.
Thanks to my mom and dad for the care and concern given to Arcade. I love you. Many thanks to those who have shown concern of Arcade. I'm sure he(Arcade's male) will truely thank us all.
In loving memory of Arcade - 12th January 2005 - 17th January 2005
