I was in the office yesterday when I received the call from my mom telling me that my grandmother has died. I broke down, despite the muddle of people around. I didn't care for the grief was something I can no longer contain. I was aware that her death was imminent but I was in denial for days. I never imagined the picture saying goodbye. Never thought the day would come. I coudn't quite imagine a life without her. I grew up visiting her almost every weekend. She's my lola with all her sweet treats, fancy clothes and awesome gifts every Christmas and New Year. Nasubuan gid ko kay hindi na tanan ni maliwat.
Dear La,
La, you were in my life for the longest time and now your gone all in a blink of an eye. I guess your diabetes and its complications takes some of the best and we all have to die someday . I just wish it weren't so soon. Nasubuan lang gid ko kay wala ta ka nakita before ka mapatay, La. Tani ara gid ako didto kag nakaptan ko ang imo kamot kag nahambal ko ni tanan sa imo. Gusto ko mahibaluan nga okay ka kag upod mo ang Diyos, watching over me still witnessing me grow. I need some sort of sign, I need to know. I guess the pain and suffering is all done. Nahidlaw na gid ko sa imo, La. Subong ko gid nabatyagan nga palangga ta gid ka, La. And I know that you're up there watching over me. Pahuway ka na da, La ha. Hindi namon pagpabay-an si Lolo kag ang balay niyo kag si Kulit. I'll be seeing you again one day. I love you with all my heart.
