Our grandfather is one of the best teachers and friend we got ever since we were young. My grandfather is the one who often taught me how to read and play basketball since I was four years old. The time is very precious to us. We lived in our grandfather's for 9 years because my parents don't have enough money to build our own house. What devastating happened back then was the first born child in our family died before it was gave birth by my mother.

On June 4, I was in my other grandparents house when my mother called in the phone. She was crying and cannot utter any words. My lola spoke to her why she was crying and she said her husband's father is died meaning our lolo is dead. This is very surprising to me because I was there early in the morning. Lolo is sleeping because usually he wakes up around 7am. I went out to our house around 6am going to my other grandparent's house.

My lola immediately told me to go home and assist my parents. In the house, we are only five. My two parents, we two siblings and my grandfather. My father is the sole son and child so when my grandfather was stroke since 2020. He was in our house because there is no one who will take care of him. Now, we are grieving to his death. Before I enter read cash, I am grieving. It is just my cousin who assisted me to focus on read cash because he knows I am sad. I am too affectionate to my lolo.

Lolo Buting is a good grandfather you will ever had. He is very loving and since we are two grandchildren he has, he love us so much like a son too. I don't know what will I do now since my lolo is gone. He is currently lying and sleeping beautifully in his own chamber. I saw my father cried multiple times since last couple of days. That is the only time I saw my father crying. I never saw him cry ever, but now something changed. Something is renewing in our family.

Many people are coming by to visit the burial of my grandfather. They are my relatives in both sides of my father and mother. You know kuya @DennMarc , he was here last day with his family. He is my closest cousin because he is the eldest male cousin we had. He is so gentle in terms of his word because it is inborn to him. Kuya also taught us to our assignments and modules when he is free. We are envy to him because you don't know that he is the smartest amongst us. But kuya don't play basketball with us because he has fracture in his right hand.

My brother doesn't sleep well since my grandfather died. He was more closer than to our grandfather because since my lolo was stroke. He always followed him wherever it goes because he cannot walk properly without the help of anyone around him. We are trying to cope and smile to every visitors who are coming in, but our hearts are broken. I guess it is the culture in our Filipino tradition to greet and welcome people who comes by during burial and don't be sad.

I was surprised to see my friends came last night. I didn't tell them that my grandfather is dead, but they see my brother's myday so they know it now. They are wearing all black. I like how these friends love and embrace the friendships we had. I offered them two tables because they are not fitted to one table only. I brought some snacks and sopas cooked by my relatives at the back of our house. I circled around to serve others too.

I will not attached photos right now, maybe tomorrow because I am not ready to share personal event in my life. I hope you all understand it. On the other hand, I am happy that my two previous articles are receiving upvotes from the rusty you called. This is helpful because the money will be transfer and use for the needs in the burial. I want to help them as much as possible. I do not know where we get enough money to support the needs in the burial. Let's hold tight to our faith and good people. As of now, I have $4.15 in this wallet in the screen. Thank you po sa lahat ng nag uupvote at kay @TheRandomRewarder .
