I’m pretty much the only one out of all the grandchildren on my moms side that calls my Lolo and Lola in the Philippines.
I grew up with them taking care of me. And then they moved to the Pi years ago. It makes me happy to get to talk to them when I get a chance to call but sad at the same time. Years ago my Lola became blind and now her memory is starting to fade. She’s always asking me the same questions and repeats things she’s already said. Shes already forgetting peoples voices too.
I’ve been calling her often because i had to write a paper on her past. It’s crazy listening to her HERstory because the more I listen to her stories the more i feel I’m just like her!
It’s just sad to think that one day she can lose her memory for good or not even be here nemore.
Also, when I talk to my Lolo he wishes my family visits often because he’s always saying how they’re getting old and it would be nice if we visit-At least one person a year.
I just always cry talking to them. It’s cause I’m an emotional person and cry at everything.
I just had to vent on how I feel- I guess this is why I hve a tumblr right?
Ps to those who don’t talk to their gparents often, please do! Get to know their history/herstory before they are not with us anymore to tell their stories.
nights with ‘dumzon’ are thee best :)
