Tyberius the Cat — RIP

May 4, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

 

To con­tin­ue the sto­ry of my son’s and his fam­i­ly’s vis­it over East­er (with their dog Ellie), when they returned home, they found one of their two cats ill, and unfor­tu­nate­ly poor Tyberius had to be put to sleep. They were all dis­traught, espe­cial­ly the chil­dren. To make them feel bet­ter, I did a draw­ing of Tyberius. I had want­ed to put him in Pet Heav­en, a myth­i­cal place that I have envi­sioned, and to which all my dead pets go to. I imag­ined all our pets who have passed on greet­ing Tyberius and ask­ing him for an update of their fam­i­ly here on earth. My imag­i­na­tion was rich­er than my draw­ing abil­i­ty, and so they just have a draw­ing of Tyberius, which I am shar­ing here. May Tyberius rest in peace in Pet Heav­en. BTW, Tyberius was all black, but I could not ren­der him all black in the draw­ing oth­er­wise we would just see his eyeballs.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
