2021 noong una nating nalaman yung condition mo. From that moment, we all know this will be a long journey. You called us many things, tinawag mo kaming pamilya, your happiness, diamond, and your treasure.

Pero what other people didn't know, you're more than a treasure to us. Maraming nagtatanong sa sakit mo and some already made their conclusions. Well, it doesn't matter anymore.

If people will ask us again what happened to you, what happened to Jessie, we want them to remember how you made an impact on us instead. 

Madalas nagtatalo pa nga si Joy at Shie kung sino paborito mo pero alam naman nating wala ka talagang paborito. Your heart is where peace resides. At ngayon, we want to believe that you're no longer feeling the pain and the suffering.

Pansin nga rin namin, maraming bersyon mo na ang nasaksihan namin. Biruan pa nga natin, hindi ka mamatay-matay.  We want them to remember na lumaban ka, nang maraming beses. Maraming dahilan para sumuko na noon pa pero you still show up. This is the Jessie we want to remember. 

And knowing that you experienced multiple times of isolation and abandonment, hindi ka nagtanim ng galit. We can see them. We know these people who caused you so much pain, but you still see the good in them.

Doon kami mas hanga sayo at kulang ang mga salita para ipinta ang pagmamahal na mayroon ka kay Joy at ang pagmamahal niya sa iyo. Kayo talaga ang og BFF bago pa kami sumulpot ni Shie sa buhay mo.

Mula pa noon, hindi ka lang mapagmahal na kaibigan at anak. Mapagmahal kang apo. Grabe ang pagmamahal mo sa mga anak ni Jaja, na para bang iyo. Sabi mo nga kay Eros, ikaw si Master.

You sacrificed a lot of your life for other people's convenience. Pero alam naman natin may pagkasutil ka rin. And we love that for you. Hindi 'yon gets ng iba.

You know ayaw ni Shie kumain mag-isa. And more than companionship, you're always listening kahit mahina ang pagdinig mo.

Thank you for letting us yap. Thank you for always being there to listen. Salamat sa pagmamahal. Salamat sa kakulitan mo. Salamat sa mga tawa. Salamat sa lagi mong suporta.

Nasaksihan mo ang mga pinakamadilim na chapter ng buhay ko, namin. Many of our lowest and mistakes, pero hindi mo ko hinusgahan, hindi mo kami hinusgahan. You taught us that silent love exists.

Nasaksihan mo rin how cruel the world is to us, pero salamat kasi you taught us that openness and forgiveness heal some wounds.

Salamat sa pag-ibig, Jessie. 💝 

Now, sashay away 🕊️
