Dear Muriel,
You were snoring when you were sleeping earlier. I woke up early so I can scare Carrenz. Wake up piggy and stop snoring—Levi.

Wevi, where are you?- Muriel

Wevi, Mamy and Daddy are looking for you. Where are you hiding ? Okay, I believe now that you are a ninja. Come out now, Wevi!!!- Muriel

Wevi, it’s been two days. I think you are not at home. Where are you Wevi? I’m sorry with whatever I said. I did not mean it Wevi. Mamy and Daddy are looking for you and they haven’t slept well. Mamy keeps on crying and said that it’s all her fault. Daddy kept on watching the video with Mamy and they cry together and hug me. Our brothers and sisters are looking for you too. Barf is so silent he won’t even barf. And Dog is not eating. Daddy told me the story when he saw you at Watson’s together with the other kids like you. He said that he got you to surprise Mommy who’s outside talking with Uncle Peter. You were the cutest of them all. He said that you remind him of his self. Daddy got teary eyed talking about you, and how you always tease me. Wevi, please come back… We miss you terribly.

Mamy just posted some brochures outside da house and distributed some flyers with your picture in it. People kept on laughing at her and Dady, even some of their friends made fun of them because we are unique kwidsh. But Mamy and Dady didn’t mind coz they wab you so much Wevi. They will do anything to have you back. It’s been 4 days without you Wevi and it feels different. Daddy said he misses his litol boy. Wevi, where are you? I pwamish I won’t quarrel you anymore. I will let you call me a pig and I will always tell you my name if you ask me hu ish dish. I will tell Dragon not to tease you. Who will quarrel the ones who tease me at school Wevi? You are my big brother and I wab you vewy much. I can’t imagine another brother like you even if you tease me a lot. I wab you Wevi. I have ice cream here but I did not eat it and wont eat it until you come home. I know you are just there Wevi. Ninjas come back.

Dear Wevi, Mamy is vewy excited. She called Daddy and told me that a pregnant lady named Auntie Angie found you on the streets when she was jogging and she will take you home. She told us the story that you were just there, confused as to where you are but acting vewy brave. She asked you who are you? And you said, “No, hu ish dish?” She was laughing because you were vewy cute. Wevi, don’t pull the hu-ish-dish-card to anyone. It’s for me only!!! Anyway, she said that you were dirty and that you were hungry so she took you home and cleaned you up and fed you. Her litol boy wabbed you and played with you. Auntie Angie saw Mommy’s brochure in one of the schools and she called Lola. She’s a very good lady. She was having a hard time because her baby wabbed you but she knows that Mamy and Daddy needs you so that’s why she took you home. I’m excited Wevi! I can’t wait to hug you!!!

Dear Auntie Angie,
I am home now but I want to thank you for taking care of me when I was lost. You taught me that it is good to be honest and to take care of the people we wab, no matter how unique they are. Sorry if I have to leave your litol boy with you. He can jump on his own now like I taught him to. I can always be his playmate. But I need to go home to my family. I know I am different because some people call Mamy and Daddy crazy and they even laugh at us when we are with Mamy and Daddy. But still, they wabbed us like we are their own kwidsh. They made us feel that we are no different. And I guess that’s what wab is all about—being there even if others despise you and call you crazy. I wab them, Auntie Angie and I can never leave them alone, even with my piggy sister, errr.. butterfly sister. Thank you Auntie Angie. I will mish you. Thanks for taking me home. – Wevi

Dear Baby Wevi,
We are more than happy to have you home. You are our little boy and please don’t go away from us again. We love you so much Baby. Welcome back home –Mamy and Daddy

Ngamsh plus hugs—Uncle Stanly

Hugs plus kisses plus kisses plus hugs and flying—Muriel

Dear Muriel,
Thanks for mishing me. Okay, now for your promises. You are a pig. Stop snoring piggy. You are not a butterfwy! -Wevi
P.S. I mish you too, my baby sister. I’m glad to be home. Bye for now, have to scare Carrenz.

POSTSCRIPT: Growing up is not an excuse to snob being child-like and enjoy toys. Levi and Muriel is a reflection of ourselves and an appreciation of the fact that our beingchild-like is a part of us. Losing them is like losing a part of ourselves. Thank you for those who were able to understand this. You guys are great.
