luuy pood intawn reading your story, indaymen.
Maka hilak pood ko kai i remember my Lolo Ciano when he was living with us back in 2003-2005.
When Lolo was with us I would help him walk up the stairs from his bedroom downstairs to take his daily shower, help him toothbrush, get dressed etc etc. Naka feel pood ko how it is like to care for my lolo, very time consuming and ordeal oriented pero i enjoyed and cherished it because he was my dear lolo. That time Lolo was still 77 years old. Maka converse pood ko nija in bisaya and maka katawa pood mi because Lolo would always make jokes about his condition kai maka lingaw pood ba. Si lolo is paralyzed on his left side of his body; pero his right side is still strong. Not to mention that he was a very strong and muscular man when he was younger. He stands at 5'11 and weighed over 200 lbs when he was younger, very masculado jud. Even at age 77 he still had muscles on his right arm, and mo exercise ijang lawas to stretch his legs etc.
One time galing, ning ingoon si lolo nako, as I had my right arm around his shoulders to help him walk up our stairs to the 2nd floor of the house to the bathroom, "Doy, ayaw jud kalimot nako ha? Kai pinangga baja ka nako, Doy."
When he said that to me, i could not even staand straight kai ning hilak ko. Ingoon baja si lolo nako, when i started to cry, "Ajaw pag hilak, doy, kai mo hilak pood ko. Ajaw na na lang hilak..."
And at that we both cried....
I really bonded with my Lolo. LOVE him so much....
But even with that when we got up to the bathroom naka katawa napodo mi kai mo joke joke pood si lolo nako. Oh man we joked and talked about everything. Ask pood sija nako about ug naa ba kono koy 'mga girl friends" hahahaha!
kuyawa pood si lolo uy! hahaha!
Lolo is 81 turning 82 this october. Gusto jud ko maka balik kai gusto ko maka kita napood nija. I miss him so much...
