-_-.. wala na ko lola din, at kahit almost one year na, hinahanap-hanap pa din namin ang presence niya… Mahirap kapag napalapit talaga ng husto..

My condolences.

@ H: Ay naku, matagal pa ang ilalagi ni lola sa mundong ibabaw, don’t worry Ako, I’m more of a lolo’s girl. He died when I was in college. My real lola died two years ago. Si Lola Letty naman (the one who passed away), siya na yung last lola ko sa father’s side so sad talaga kami lahat. Saka nagulat kami kasi wala siyang sakit! Tapos pasko pa So yun.

@ Edith: Bata pa naman ang nanay (maternal grandmother) namin, saka malakas pa. Yun lang, nasa Tarlac sila. Hindi man kami ganoon ka-close, iba pa rin syempre. I’m sure your nanay has a lot more years in her Basta healthy siya, masaya saka walang sakit. Thanks, sweet. You made me feel better

panganay akong apo on both sides kaya i’m close to both my maternal and paternal grandmothers. it’s just that since i grew up in sta.mesa, i’m more my ‘nanay’s’ granddaughter than my lola’s.

my paternal grandmother died way back 1995 pa. nanay is 88 now, still insists she sleeps in her room on the 2nd floor and goes to church every sunday kahit naka-pedicab lang at inaalalayan ng padyak driver.

when i was young, i spent my afternoon naps with her. sobrang sanay ako sa ganung set-up so that one time, i woke up with my mom beside me, nag-iiyak ako kasi hindi ko nakita si nanay sa tabi ko. kahit sa gabi, nambubulahaw ako ng kapitbahay sa kakaiyak kasi tawag ako ng tawag sa kaniya. eh madali for her to come up to our house dahil magkatabi ang bahay namin sa compound.

i will be very sad if she goes. but she’s someone to whom i would be eternally grateful to for being such a doting grandmother, one i love as i do my mother.

condolence sister. and don’t worry, i may not have seen your grandmothers but i’m sure you’re as beautiful as they are – inside and out.
