In a heartfelt social media post, Alynna Velasquez penned a tearful farewell message to her partner, veteran singer Hajji Alejandro, who passed away on 21 April after battling Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer.

22 April would have been the couple’s 27th anniversary.

Velasquez expressed profound gratitude for the final eight days she spent by Alejandro’s side. She also acknowledged his children, Ali and Rachel, for reaching out to her. She said, “I think of you every hour of every day.”

Velasquez recounted Alejandro’s courageous decision to forego further hospitalization and choose palliative care at home, surrounded by loved ones, knowing his time was drawing near. Despite the ravages of cancer that had constricted his respiratory system and impaired his once iconic voice, Velasquez said she felt his love “even without words. And despite the pain, restlessness and hallucinations, you tried to hold my hand…”

In a tender moment, she shared her final whispered words to him: “Go with God. I love you so much. See you in my dreams.”

Velasquez found solace in knowing that in his final hours, Alejandro accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, embracing the promise of eternal life.

Her message carried a bittersweet tone, acknowledging their special anniversary falling on the day after his passing. “Love ko... you tried to hold on... you know it is our special day today. But your human body gave up on you,” she wrote. ”Thank you... thank you for your love.”

Concluding her heartfelt tribute, Velasquez affirmed her eternal love: “Happy 27th Anniversary, my one and only love, Hajji Alejandro. See you in God’s time. I love you eternally.”
