| My Sunrise Tears |
im not a morning person.. it was 4am when i turned on the computer and decided to write a blog.. what would i write? i don't even want to..
a call came in just around 3:30am it was from my sister, she was in cebu along with my Uncle and Aunts visiting my grandpa who was sick, she told me that my grandpa just passed away (Jan. 25, 2009/1am)..
he was intelligent, a man who had a lot of sense.. i remember when we were kids he used to share a lot of jokes, one of it is that he would ask us "May Tatlong baboy sa barko tumalon sila, ilan na lang natira?" (there are 3 pigs on a boat that jumped, how many are left?) then our answers would be "wala na" (none/zero) then he would tell us that we were wrong that there are 3 pigs left, because they only jumped, but not jump outside the boat.. it was just a joke a kind of a trick-joke, but as i grew older i began to realize it had a deeper meaning, "do not be deceive by merely what you see or hear, take a good closer look at it"..
Also, the funny thing about my grandpa is that my cousins and i grew up without seeing my grandpa wearing shorts, he said that if he were to wear shorts all the girls would line-up just to take a peek of his legs..
a lot of memories i wanted to cherish and it came to the point that i don't want to see him suffer from his disease, escaping reality? unreasonable? Yes! i am.. i just wanted to preserve our memories without pain and suffering, so that when i wanted to remember him i could always be the child i was before.
as the sun rises i would gladly shed my tears and smile, goodbye "tatay".

Thank You Lord for a wonderful Grandpa.
