later on, i realized maybe they're right. i remember mom and dad asking her to live with us. she will stay for a week but after that she will ask mom to drive her back.
she wasn't able to watch us grow....
i can't recall when she finally decided to stay with us for good. but what i do remember was that in all those time, i wasn't good to her... and none of my siblings were...
Last monday, as i looked at her lying in her bed, i thought of all those times that we have lost... and yes, finally, i have let go of the anger that once was instilled in my mind. for two days, i took care of her. i did it not out of pity but through compassion...i wanted her to feel that she was loved after all.
this morning, after checking her I.V., i stayed beside her for a while. i touched her hand and caressed her forehead. i didn't know that will be the last...
In loving memory of
my grandmother, Doña Apolonia Pascual Bagsic
