Lat week, Lola Ampy had a stroke that affected her left brain. Now, she couldn't not recognize anyone in the family. At one point my Tita Mel said she was talking to our dead relatives and was telling them she still has to do something. It's freaky. But the fact that she isn't willing to go gives us hope. She is in San Diego which is a good thing because they have better healthcare programs in the States. They can take better care of there there.
I worry for Lolo. It's his birthday on the 12th. It's definitely not the best birthday but I still wish they celebrate it.
We're planning this grand reunion of the Garcias in June. With lola falling ill, I'm not quite sure if it's pushing through. I haven't tried asking because it's really not the best time to discuss the reunion. But if it doesn't push through, maybe I'll arrange a visit to the States. That's if I can convince my dad to let me off from work for at least six weeks. (Sayang naman if I go for a quick visit lang hahaha) Then maybe I'll visit my relatives in Florida too (Mom's side).
Right now I just pray that Lola gets well. I'm not that close to her unlike my cousin Dawn who practically grew up with Lola as her mom. My siblings and I are grew up independent from our cousins so we tend to stick together unlike my cousins who are super close- almost like siblings. She's still my lola. Lolo loves her.
