In loving memory of Tomtom (2018 – 2019)

I still remember the first time I met Tomtom. Even though he wasn't born into our home, he was such a sweet and gentle dog from the very beginning. He was never troublesome, was incredibly affectionate, and immediately got along with our other pets. He made it so easy for us to love him. Even when he was growing weak, he would still try his best to stand on his own and come close to us. I remember when a strong typhoon hit and we were all busy making sure everyone was safe. Despite his weakness and the pain he was feeling, he still managed to stand up and look at us. It felt as though he was worried about us and didn't want to leave our side, even when he was the one who needed care the most. What hurts the most is remembering how much love and concern he still showed us until his last moments, and having to watch him slowly lose his strength right beside me. Even though it's been a long time since he left, I still think of him and remember the love he gave us. I hope he's happy across the Rainbow Bridge, running freely and making lots of friends. I hope he met Muffin, too, and that the two of them have become playmates. I hope he's no longer in pain and are finally getting all the happiness he deserve. He will always be loved and remembered, my baby Tomtom
