Four days after New Year's eve (this year) when my grandfather was rushed to the hospital due to high fever and low blood pressure.
5 years ago, he was diagnosed with thoracic aortic aneurysm. I didn't learn about that as I was busy working before until I was told by my sister just days after he was admitted. He didn't show severe signs of sufferings yet although I witnessed how his health slowed down.
He was feeling okay during his 3 days of stay in the hospital. He even said we'll go together to the bank to claim his pension after he gets discharged.
8th of January when he showed discomfort on his chest and back. I witnessed how painful it was for him as I was his watcher on that day.
He asked me to call my grandmother to come over because he wants to see her. He even told grandma, "I thought I would never see you again". As soon as I heard his words, I went to the restroom crying in silent because I could sense that lolo is somehow saying goodbye to us already. He asked for the family to come over to witness everyone's presence.
I told myself that lolo will be okay. I was not ready to let him go yet. We thought everything will be okay until we heard the news from my cousin that lolo is already fighting for his life. He fought for his life for 5 hours then bid goodbye 9 minutes after midnight.
Lolo was a good friend of mine. I consider him as my oldest friend when I became introverted. I remember his stories about how he survived during the world war 2. How he courted lola and how he worked hard as a father of 4.
I have so many great memories with my good friend lolo.
He's my best defender to lola whenever I broke a plate in the kitchen. He promised me to buy me a bicycle when he wins the lottery, but never did. He lets me feed his chickens when he's away for a walk. He spoils me with everything I demand.
I know the feeling of losing a good friend like what @kat2x has written on her article. I like how she recalls the personality of her good friend. I could somehow compare his personality to my lolo as both of them lived as hardworking and optimistic persons.
This serves as my entry for her contest. Here's the link:
