realizations....
this past week was quite stressful and tiring for me...but at the same time it was a learning experience too...
my lola died last thursday and although we were quite prepared for this, you can't help but get quite emotional especially because we were the ones living with her...though when she died, she has been living in las piñas...for a couple of months, she was living with my aunt (her only daughter) and they were the ones who accompanied her to the hospital saturday of last week...it was sad to see my dad and my mom get so affected by her death...for years...i haven't seen them cry (the last time i remember them crying was during the death of my lolo which was more than a decade ago)
i realized a lot of things during this time of mourning...it was then that i realized that i was no longer a little girl...that i was already capable of doing things that before were, in my opinion, done by grown ups...it was then that i again realized how important my family was to me....it was then that i realized that when a person leaves you, it is really then that you realize how important he/she is to you...and no matter how often you have misunderstandings with someone, you will somehow miss that person....
i admit that my lola and i don't really get along that well...but come to think of it...i will still miss her...and her kakulitan....her continuous asking of "asan na si cris?" which sometimes goes on for at least 10 times a day....i will surely miss the way she makes small talk...how she claps her hand like a child when my mom tells her that she cooked her favorite puchero for dinner...how every night, before she sleeps, she does not forget to put on her lipstick...there are still a lot of things i can enumerate that i will surely miss about her...but one thing's for sure, i will never forget her...
i know that she is in a better place now, where there is no pain, no sorrow and no sadness....i know that she's now enjoying her time with my lolo and i do hope that she is happy and is at peace....
for everyone who went to her wake and offered their prayers and condolences...for those who gave flowers and mass cards....our family would like to extend our gratitude...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
