My lola died last night. I never expected her to go that soon. The doctor's prognosis was very good and then suddenly this happens. She has been sick for a while now and at the back of our heads we were thinking that perhaps her time is near but still this came as a shock. I was crying all night and barely slept a wink.
I was debating whether I should go home with all the gulo at the POEA but I want to go home. Di na gani kauli ako sis tapos ako kay di pa gyud. And recent circumstances all point that I should go home. Pray na lang ko that everything will be ok when I get back. I hope that I do get to go back with no hassle from either the Philippine immigration or the Singapore one.
I was really hoping that lola got to live to 99. The same way her mother (my great-grandmother na inabutan ko pa) did. But I guess its her time now. Matagal na rin syang may sakit. Maybe God wanted her to rest na. She lived a long and full life up to 94 years old.
I regret though not having spent enough time talking with her. Asking her about her life. Especially during the war years. I regret not thanking her for taking care of me every time I stayed at her house. I regret not getting to know my lola more.
I guess this is what happens when death touches your life, puno ng regrets.
