Sir Bugsay,
pasalamat jud ko sa Ginoo naka anhi mi tanan, sa grace of God.
Luuy pood lagi, bai, kai i was so very close to my Lola Nating and Lolo Ciano when bata pa ko. On weekly basis mo adto sila sa among balay kai mo duwa sila namo. Mo adto pood mi sa ilang balay kai ma mingaw man mi nila!
When it came to leaving Phils in 1991, emotional jamo para nako.
Hilak ko kaayo kai di na ko maka kita sa ahong Lolo ug Lola.
Ahong Lola Nating i remember what she said to me, 5 years pa ko, 2 days before we left phils.
She said to me, "Ondoy, Ayaw jud kalimtan mi ninyo ha? Ajaw lalimtan imung Lolo Ciano ug ako. Pinangga ka namo, Doy. Be good to your mom and dad. Ampo kanunay, Doy. Ampo kanunay."
Lola had tears rolling down her face.
She was wearing her red dress, with her shoes.
My beautiful and loving grandmother. Mrs. Fortunata Tan Salvo.
The mother of my mommy.
It was with a weeping heart, bai, that I went back home in 1998 for the funeral of my Lola Nating.
My mind was filled with her memories.
The sound of her voice and her laughter.
Lola nating...mingaw ko nimo!
All i have of her is my memories. and the stories of friends and family members of her.
Beautiful!
GOD BLESS!
