we lost the beloved tigger while watching the movie "alice in wonderland". gani was heartbroken, and i was beyond heartbroken to see my son so sad over losing his friend. after scouring the movie theater in the dark and calling every day to see if they found him, i knew tigger was gone. we told him that tigger probably decided to go with alice to wonderland, and that he was needed there. then out of the blue one day, he told us, "hey, maybe tigger turned into a butterfly like absolom." what a beautiful and fitting image. it was about that time for gani to transition from an infant toy, and also time for tigger to transition out of his life. so now, every time isagani sees an orange and black butterfly, he knows it's tigger paying him a visit.
so this morning i discover a friend in one of my plants in the kitchen. gani calls him tigger. even though he's devouring my plant, it's fun to see him grow and we can't wait to see him transform.
also, something interesting... this is the plant that i won at alejandra's bridal shower. it's now feeding a life, just like she is with her baby girl now. :)
