REMEMBERING LOLA LOLING
Lola Loling (lola-grandmother) that was what we called her, our uncles and aunts call her mommy Loling. She was the older sister of my grandmother but in my country we consider our grandparents siblings our very own grandparents as well. Lola Loling was a woman with a big funny bone in her body, we click a lot since i am also the clown or the joker in the family. When i was 23 i spent my summer with my grandmother in our hometown Ormoc City. Lola Loling would be dropped off either by her son, grandsons or her driver at my grandmother’s house. She and my grandma would sit out in the (terrace) front porch on there rocking chairs. My grandma with her crochet plastic bag hanging from the arm of her rocking chair. I would catch them whispering furiously and just crack up laughing after a few seconds. They were very very close, they talk about childhood memories and just about anything in life. Lola Loling was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. I wish i could go home and attend her wake and console my family specially my grandmother for the loss of her sister.
I know Lola Loling is in a better place now with her beloved husband by her side, watching over all of us. Lola, i love you so much and i will tell my children all about you.
