Gabby as a baby at 2 years old. Gosh darn, I really am THAT cute. 

Waiting for my mama – we are inseparable – still – she says that I made her whole!

Negotiating for treat swaps. Never damaged any trade items. What good would that do for a swap? #Brilliant #Negotiator

My Mom says Christmas was about my birth – okay, she was kidding but they made everything revolve around me. Proud pupper!

Just chilling. Waiting for Mom to be done with work. Long hours she spends, and I spend it with her. I loved doing anything with her and she loved doing anything for me. She called me the best boy in the world. 

Hey Mom – Sunday brunch should start now!

Never enough Christmas presents.

PS – Dont give me Bday presents and think they count for Xmas. Just FYI

In my Gabmobile. I rule the roost!

With the angels. Mom, Dad, and the family miss me and I miss them too. We will meet again. My mom said the Taj Majal is nothing compared with what she would build me if she had a few billion dollars. 

A collage of their faves. Too many to put but they want to share me.

Not my proudest moment but Mom invented the use of Uncle Eth’s shorts and unmentionables when I had surgery  

One of my Mom’s favorite things to do together with me. She said God never made a more perfect creature than me. She said this looks as if I am staring into her eyes. I watched movies and Sunday TV masses with her. I snuggled with her while she read loads and loads of books and CIMs etc. 

Graduation on July 18, 2008. They were so proud. I just wanted it to be over with.

Grad photo. Mom can’t find the others. 

Grad Certificate. Mom can’t find the intermediate one but everyone knows I was brilliant. 

 Loyal son

Dad is on the other sider toasting his bum. 

I love my Mom

Always curious

Morning treat in the toy in a Fam Jam – most favourite things ever!

Hanging with mom when she had a foot surgery. She soldiered on and I motivated her!

Dad rubbing my ears. He used to say ‘The joy of Gabby in the morning’. Mom used to say Gabby is a joy at any time.

Snoozing by the fireplace

Lord I loved gifts. I can open my own – thank you very much!

Investigating the pond. The fishes didn’t really care for me. 

Fireplace check. Treat in my barbell, check. Family showing me love, check!

Waiting for mom. She was the best! Dad’s pretty awesome too and the kids and entire family. 

Sleeping in Mom’s office. I used to try to sleep amidst many Zooms. I even directed some podcasts. I helped put her in the top 2%. Directed her (they edited the woofs out but make no mistake, I am in them)

Sleeping on the bed with mom. Her and my favorite thing. Must have gotten a thousand kisses before bed. She used to kiss my heart too to heal it from the heart murmur. We said prayers as a family every night. I know it pains her that I am not there physically, but I am there with her. Dad slept with me on the bed once and he snored so loud that I gave him stink eye. Yeah – that loud!

Yeah – gifts, family, food

In the Gabmobile – I am very comfy

In the basement. Mom’s friends insist on sending their kids for Mom to teach Calculus and Stats. I sure don’t understand it.

Me poolside with Mom

Dad would put his arms out and I would do this stretch and I would get a treat in my barbell. Mom taught me sign language and I also learned to pucker for a kissie 

Me squeaking the balls

Me and Dad just goofing around.

Handsome me and handsome Daddy.

Praying hands. My mom loved my fur which was as soft and smooth as silk.

Yup – I am definitely the studmuffin Mom claims

A rare shot – I was rarely bored

I am cute and I know it – in fact, everyone knew it

Riding shotgun with Daddy in the Gabmobile. This is when I made a stink and didn’t want to be in the main area so Mom sat on the bench in the back. Coming to think of it, this was mean of me. 

Sleeping under the Xmas tree, I sure loved that tree. 

So I didn’t really love art that much. Especially when there was food and gifts to open. 

Yayyy – cake. I just loved the attention.

My home – beautiful memories. Forever loved and missed. Not the same without you. Never will be. 

Helping Daddy with yardwork

New garage doors

I picked the colour with mom. She cried for days when it went up. Says I am supposed to be here.

My Billy Idol look. Uncle Eth did this. 

I used to sit there so she talks to me and gives kisses. She really loves me. 

The family still keeps me in prayer just as every day except my remains are in a little box but my heart beats with theirs and my spirit lives in Christ!

I am all over much like before but she put this fridge magnet so she can kiss me all the time in the kitchen. I know she kisses me in her thoughts all the time.
