Three years ago, on a hopeful morning, Cecilia arrived quietly into your life under your watchful eyes and anticipation. At that moment, joy traveled across mountains and seas through a phone call, and I was the first to share the miracle of this new life with you. Because of the need to protect this tiny life at home, you had to be apart temporarily, but the instant you heard her cry, you jumped over the barrier to see Cecilia.
With each of Cecilia's cries and smiles, your world became fuller and richer. She gradually got used to falling asleep to the sound of your snores, a sound that became her safest harbor. From her first attempts at sitting up and rolling over, to each subsequent milestone, you patiently accompanied her, teaching her how to explore the world. Late at night, watching her sleep peacefully, you couldn’t help but draw near, and from then on, guardianship became an inseparable part of your life.
As time passed, Cecilia's reliance on you deepened. That tender and clear “Dad” was like heavenly music, melting your heart instantly. She wanted you to be part of everything she did, expressing her dependence and affection in her unique ways. Those clumsy yet love-filled gestures—feeding you treats, playing with you using a cat teaser—became the most precious memories between you.
On Cecilia's path of growing up, she learned not only how to be loved but also how to love. She began to take on the responsibility of caring for you, feeding you, cleaning up after you, brushing your fur—completing each task meticulously. She dreamed of becoming your most competent “little caretaker,” bathing you, trimming your fur, keeping you warm, and even preparing special treats for you when going out. This pure and unwavering affection strengthened your bond even further.
To commemorate this special bond, I custom-made a beautiful hand-drawn frame for you both. Inside the frame are the cherished moments you shared: Cecilia’s clumsy attempts at walking, her laughing heartily while you played together, and the harmonious scene of you both feeding pigeons. These precious frames stand as witnesses to the indescribable understanding and deep affection between you.
Now, you have become indispensable partners in each other's lives. Whether in the early morning light or the evening twilight, you are always side by side, hand in hand, facing life’s moments together. May this profound bond shine brightly across the river of time, forever dazzling.
