Happy New Year, Bebay…May the days ahead bring you happiness, joy, and a smile. I miss you, and I cannot hide the fact. My first post on my blog each year is dedicated to you. I always feel incomplete without you, and this void space has remained with me for a long time. I enjoyed your TikTok videos, and I see you do amazing acts. Your videos make me happy and emotional. I have left out grudges with people. We live in a world where we need to make our own spaces. I am sure there are thoughts… bubbling up your small heart over the years. On my side, I have a tight hug, waiting for a long, long time.     Your face reminds me of my mother and others who share the same thoughts. Bebay, I miss you.
