Losing a good friend/lolo
Lost a good friend https://read.cash/@kat2x/lost-a-good-friend-7e51bd08 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. https://read.cash/@kat2x/lost-a-good-friend-7e51bd08 This serves as my entry for her contest.

They said Grandparents loved their grandson/daughters twice as their child. I am not so closed with my grandparents but I witnessed the love of my parents with my son. I know your Lolo will be forever in your heart and those memories of him will be your strength whenever you missed him.
This is true. At least, he's no longer in pain now. He's happy there having a talk with his friends before ☺️♥️
Loss of someone important, is always painful. We should live the pain and the suffer, and slowly, things will move on.
As my recent article says, the pain doesn't go away, you just get used to it. I guess we just learn to deal with it and we get the hang of it. Thank you for your comment my dear sponsor ☺️
I can understand this pain too seeing as my grandfather passed when i was 11. He was my best friend at that time and taught me everything my father never could. My condolences to your lol even if it may be a bit too late
I appreciate it, for sure lolo is no longer in pain and in peace already. There's something in grandpa's/grandma's love that makes it so memorable and special. ☺️
Looks like it. It was the kind of love anybody would probably be jealous of. But that's old romance for you, i guess
It is. But it's a happy old romance for me. ☺️
Seems like it, that's why they're the kind you'd want one day
Its really hard to accept losing someone that has been very important part of our lives :(
Yeah right but along the way, you will learn to move forward but the memories will remain ☺️
Yeah. Those good memories will never be forgotten. Anyway thank you for inviting me to the contest. I love to join 😊 i just need some focus to compose an article hihi
I know the feeling. And it takes hours or even days to create one. Hehe 😅
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can feel the sadness while reading your article because I know how painful it is to lose a grandpa. Just like yours, my grandpa has been a good friend to me as well. I remember being the favorite grandchild as a kid, he always spoils me with a lot of things. He would carry me on his back and we would go to the ranch to gather some wild fruits. While my mom never gave me money when going to school (because she doesn't want me to buy something unhealthy) grandpa would always give me spare money. >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 also love to hear my grandpa's stories about their adventures during the war, how he courted other girls aside from grandma(he's always ready with a love letter when he sees a pretty girl 😂) and I love it whenever he plays a spanish music using his harmonica. So I was really sad when he died several years ago. I also experienced looking after him in the hospital looking terribly sick. Awesome writing! I hope you win 💕
It's a nice feeling when someone can relate to your article. Thank you so much ♥️ I'm just amazed how clear they remember the details of their memories in the past. I mean, old age leads to being forgetful but this means that those are really memorable ones. You could witness the enthusiasm telling the stories to their grandchildren. 😅
Yeah, their ability to retain memories is indeed amazing!
I suddenly miss lolo 💔🥺
I can feel your pain towards losing your grandpa.. Our grandfather also left with all his children and most of his grandchildren around him in the hospital. . He is so dear to us that this big family of ours are all eager to take care of him while he was confined. It somehow relieved the old man from what made him uncomfortable that time - seeing us around him feeling our love and care... At least he was not alone that time he died a happy man.. Good luck on this contest! 😊🍀
At least, he's not in pain anymore. Thank you for sending me good luck ♥️☺️
😢😢😢 I feel you.. I also lost my grand ma. Though i didn't consider her as my close friend but i just miss her.
Yup. A family member who passes away will surely be missed 💔🥺
Lets be relieved that they are at rest now.. 😊
I agree ☺️
