Laki sa Lola

I don’t understand myself whenever I read an article describing the importance of Barack Obama’s Grandmother to him it brought uncontrollable tears in my eyes. I really appreciate his love to his grandmother who he affectionally calls Toots. Though he is so busy in the campaign he still squeezes valuable time to be with his failing Grandma.

Feeling of melancholy captures my mind and heart every time I read such article because I remember my grandmother who died on 2001. My grandma lived with us almost all her lifetime. I am his favorite grandson who accompanied her to all the parties, family visits/reunion, fiesta and other celebration. Well, she was far behind to Barack’s grandma in terms of education and financial status. But, she cared and developed me through my adult life. Lola wherever you are thank you for being part of my life.
