Baby, I'm Yours.
Sept 26, 2014 For Melody (Baby) Ongchangco Basa-Ibarra It's almost 5 years short of celebrating Melody, a.k.a. Baby's birthday today if she didn't leave us in November 16, 2009. 2009. Challenging year. Recovering from the searing pain of a spinal problem and fibromyalgia, I lost both her and my best friend Bonnie just months in between. They said round parents get square children. Baby and I are total opposites. She was a lady, I was a scruffy amazon. She loved fluffy things and fantastical unicorns, I thrived in howling winds and gloomy weather. She mostly dressed in cheerful colours and I wore mostly black. I remember being 4 years old and having her coach me to sing 'Baby I'm Yours' by Barbara Lewis , her favorite song, which I didn't actually mind. Only when I heard it being played in a movie 8 years after did I exclaim to her "Kill me now". Haha. Whenever she visits me now, I tease her by playing back the Arc
