“I remember the first time I saw you, JM. Mom had chicken pox when she gave birth to you that’s why kuya Jerom and I weren’t able to meet you as soon as possible. But I was there when mom and dad first brought you home,” said Elijah at the beginning of his post.

“You were on the bed sleeping. I was excited but shy. As I laid beside you, I just started to be mesmerized. Kuya na ako. Ayaw kong mainitan ka so I turned the fan up. That accidentally woke you up but you didn’t really cry yet,” he added.

“You just looked at me. Perhaps waiting for me to introduce myself. So I did. I kept talking to you like you would understand me. You were just staring at me until our parents arrived,” Elijah further said.

Elijah then went on to talk about how they grew up together, joining plays and musicals, though he said JM always outshone him and their other brother.

“You’re the best little brother anyone can ever ask for. I am so so proud of you, JM. Iba ka,” Elijah said.

“You really are the best of all of us. I’ve been struggling to write ‘cause I don’t think anything will be enough to honor you. I always thought you deserved the best. That you deserved the world. But I realized that you are far too beautiful for this world, JM. We do not deserve you. This world does not deserve you,” he further wrote.

“I want to thank you for so many more things. I am no one without you. Walang hanggang pasasalamat para sa lahat lahat,” the actor and older brother of JM said.

“I’ll see you later, JM. I love you more than anything. Mahal na mahal ka namin. Mahal na mahal ka ni kuya. Mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal! Habang buhay. Habambuhay,” Elijah concluded.
