There You'll Be my Pet, always here with me

Phetchompoo Wareewanich - my only true love Phetchompoo Warreewanich (My Pet)

'Pink Diamond'

This page is dedicated to my Pet (R.I.P.). I have already created a webpage for the most evil person that I have met in my life, Noi, so now I feel that it is time to honour the most wonderful person that I have ever met in my life and the person whom I still love to this day.

I only met Pet after my life had already been ruined by the absolutely evil character Noi, but Pet helped me to try and rebuild my life again and gave me the strength to carry on when I had virtually given up on life completely. She tried to help me with any problems that I encountered and likewise, I would help her whenever I could. Unfortunately, unknown to both of us at that time, Pet had already contracted HIV. She had a minor motorcycle accident one day and was taken to hospital and it was only during her brief time in hospital that they diagnosed her as being HIV positive. Because of the stigmatism attached to anyone who is known to be HIV positive in Thailand, Pet could only tell me about this and nobody else knew anything about it. I took care of her the best that I could and I even massaged her neck and shoulders each evening to help her with her residual injuries from her motorcycle accident.

We stayed together for a long time like this, but then suddenly one day she told me that she had to go back to her family in Suratthani, because her mother was taking care of Pet's two young children there and she missed them a lot. I was very upset when Pet left, because she was the only real true friend that I had in Thailand and I was left legless and alone again. Pet did keep in touch with me by phone on a daily basis and that helped me a lot, then after a couple of months she asked me if I could possibly take some of her clothes that she had left in my room down to her in Surrathani. So I quickly hired a car in Bangkok and I took the clothes down to Pet and met her family there. When I arrived, Pet seemed a little upset to me and she asked me if I could take her out for a meal that day, this I did and we went to a very nice restaurant on a lake in the countryside there. Whilst we were having dinner together, Pet told me why she was upset, her family now knew that she was HIV positive and nobody at her home would even eat meals at the same table as her or go near her room at all. So I then asked her to go back to Bangkok with me and live with me again, I really missed her company and it would help us both. But, Pet said that she wanted to stay with her children in Suratthani and told me to find someone else like her to live with me, someone that was not HIV positive. I told her that I could never find anyone else like her, but she insisted that there must be another girl like her somewhere and that I just had to look properly.

When I returned back to Bangkok, I was working at a company on Sathorn road in Bangkok that Pet had helped me to get and she phoned me each day at work and kept pushing me to find someone else to live with me and help me. So eventually after a lot of persuasion I contacted someone named Loy through the internet and eventually ended up living together with her in Bangkok. I had no real feelings for this new person in my life, but she seemed like a nice character so we stayed together fairly amicably. Then one day Pet was waiting for me outside the office when I finished work, she had called me earlier in the day and told me that she was in Bangkok and I was very pleased to see her. We had a drink together at the cafe outside and I asked her what she was doing back in Bangkok, she told me that she was staying with a friend there now and asked me how I was, I told her that I was okay but that I missed her a lot, she asked me about the person that I was now living with and I just said that it was okay, nothing special though. She then asked me if she could meet the girl that was staying with me now, so I agreed and I arranged a meeting for the next day down near the river after I had finished work. The next day after I had finished work we all met by the river and everything seemed go okay, Pet and Loy talked together and seemed to get along well.

Then about one month later Pet came to see me after work again and she asked me to go and stay back with her again and as much as I would have loved to have done this, I told her that I couldn't and that I was staying with someone else now and I really didn't want to cause problems for anyone and she eventually, reluctantly accepted that. (That was the last time that I ever saw her)

About one month later, Loy who I was staying with then, lost her job in Bangkok and asked me to go and stay with her on her family's farm in Nakhorn Sawan, she said that it would be much cheaper for us there because there would be no rent to pay and I could survive just on my pension easily, so we moved to Nakhorn Sawan and we stayed on the farm there. I never heard from or about Pet again until about nine months later, when I had just returned from a visa trip to Penang and Loy told me that Pet had died, I was shocked, because I still loved Pet more than anyone else in my life and to be told that the one person that had helped me and given me hope again in life had now died, completely devastated me. As things later developed, the person that I was now staying with in Nakhon Sawan was just secretly pocketing all of my pension money every month into her own bank account, this I eventually realised and I moved away to live alone again as a recluse in Bangkok.

Now I always remember Pet's last words to me, when she was asking me to go and stay with her again and I wonder every day now if Pet had already realised that the other person that I was staying with then was not a very good person. There is not a day goes by now that I do not think of Pet, she is the first thing that I think about when I wake up each day and she is the last thing that I think about before I go to sleep every night and I even have her picture on my computer wallpaper so that I can see her when I am working on my websites and blogs on the internet.

In conclusion; This page is truly dedicated to a really wonderful person and I feel that everyone should know about this person and that she will always be remembered with love in her absence.

"I miss you Pet, I really hope that you are happy wherever you are now "

Pet is one of the characters in my first published book 'Legless in Thailand' an autobiography of mine and I have decided that 10% of all of my 'author royalties' from this book I shall donate to help to take care of Pet's two young, now orphaned children, this is the very least that I can do for this truly wonderful person that I still love so very much.
