Hello, to all of you.

Hello community, are we good?

Yes?

Alright.

Grand is our ancestors, they are the reason why we are here.

They played a big role in our existence.

They teach us lessons that any other people can't do.

They tell us different stories, way back in their times.

And every time we do not hear them out they felt angry and felt betrayed.

He's the father of my father, his wife died way back in 2005, I was a fourth-year high school at that time. I'm so sad because I'm closed with my grandmother.

Ever since his wife died, he didn't find another woman to be with, because he is loyal, and as he always said why he wants to find another when he can't be fed them or her.

At his age, he can still able to sew his torn shorts or shirts. He can be able to pierce the tip of the needle, as they say when a person turns old, either they can be back to being a toddler, or their eyesight is clearer or their ear can hear enough or vice versa. As for him, his only problem is his hearing. He can't hear it clearly, every time we talked I need to voice out loudly so that we can understand each other.

His pastime is making a basket 🧺 through the use of either bamboo or the stoke of a coconut.

He displays it outside the house and sells it if there's a buyer, by that he can have his income aside from his pension as a senior citizen.

Another thing he does is feed the native chicken that my Father taking care of, he is a fan of feeding them.

This coming April 30, he's turning 88, I'm planning to buy him a hearing aid if I have extra money, (who wants to donate for him?) Kiddingly 🤣 I'm willing to accept.

Every time we celebrate his birthday we chip in some foods to eat, some do pledges drinks, and cakes.

That's the time that his sons and daughter got together, because of individual busyness, they didn't see each other often, but we, we can always see our "tatay" because he leaves connecting with the house of my parents.

My grandfather originally came from Catmon Cebu, he always told stories about his origin, and because of the world war, they transfer from one place to another and they came here to Mindanao.

Thoughts

Although our grand have ugly attitudes sometimes we are still grateful because without them we are also not here in the world, maybe we're here but with different family members.

Let's show them our love and care for them we don't know the last day of their lives because they are old.

That's all for today.

Lunch is ready.
