Arnel Cowley celebrates late wife Isabel Granada's 42nd birthday

Actor Isabel Granada on March 9 would have turned 42. Her partner Arnel Cowley in a post commemorating her birthday said that he is still grieving. 

"Baby, I want to wish you a very happy birthday in heaven. I wish that you are still here to celebrate your day with me like we used to," Arnel wrote on Facebook. "It still hurts every day without [you,] but this is extra painful as I can’t see you, hug you and kiss you."

Arnel, addressing Isabel directly, said he hopes to talk to her again somehow to tell her how much he loves her and miss her. 

 

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife @isabelgranada21 in heaven. Mahal na mahal kita.
