hanging on

last week, i went home and paid my fam a short visit. it was fine, i was able to hug and kiss granny who felt so happy seeing me. i love her,... yeah i do, she raised me, she in fact was the one who rally took care of me since i was born to the very day i applied for a job HERE. yes, there were times when we had some misunderstanding but that's nothing compared to the times when we had good laughs and moments of affection.i remember her, waking up at 2 am or early dawn just to make me take my paracetamol ( i am very sickly)
now, "lola" is ill, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and her lower body is numb due to her broken spinal column. she, by the way, is 87 years old, she looks very old... her used to be dyed hair has turned into a 100% white thread on head. she is still in the ICU as this post is written, my mother is taking care of the things there with my brothers and sisters, and of course my aunt. i was there till Wednesday last week, but i had to go back to work. i would love to file for a leave from work just to be with her but it is nice that her condition is improving... i might just come and visit her maybe next weekend. she is hanging on... that made me admire her strength... just like her, i wish to be a strong woman too. that no matter what the odds may bring, i can stand on my feet and prove it to the world that i am a strong woman, JUST LIKE LOLA.

i hope she gets better sooner.

all for now.
