Three months without Garfield

Today is the third month of Garfield's death anniversary.

It has only been three months since you left us, but these three months seem so long, so empty, so wrong. Home will never be the same without you. Sometimes, I still expect you to be there when I come home from work, waiting for me at by the front door. Or when I switch on my room lights, I half expect to see you curled up on your bed, your lovespace. 

I dreamt of you several days ago. In the dream, which probably only lasted a few seconds, I recall telling someone - I don't know who - that you were not that skinny anymore. Hopefully it was a sign that you are doing well in the other world. I hope that you are able to run freely there, with no pain, no worries, and no unhappiness.

  1. Hi Goomba,

    We tried to look for your email contact but it does not seem to be available on your blog. So we are contacting you via a comment.

    On behalf of the National Library Board (NLB), we would like to invite you to pledge your blog to the Singapore Memory Project (SMP).

    We find that your entries about your daily experiences would be a great addition to the Singapore Memory Project.

    We think your blog would offer a different perspective. Whether your posts are an account of your daily life or an expression of your thoughts, our project hopes to find a home for these memories so that it can help build a ground-up understanding of Singapore.

    If you believe memories are worth preserving, simply pledge your blog here.

    The SMP is a national initiative started in 2011 to collect, preserve and provide access to stories, moments and memories related to Singapore. For more information about this initiative, you may wish to contact Mr Patrick Cher at patrick_cher@nlb.gov.sg or read the FAQ.

    Yours sincerely,
    Krishna Mawani
