goodbye grandpa
i was expecting an afternoon of recreation by playing my favorite game online. i was psyched! my character was about to 'level up' and it'll only take a few hours. hoorah! so before all things, since i'm online, i check my mail, browse a few pages and such. with that out of the way, it's time for game time! my phone rang in my pocket. it was my mom.
"matt, nasa'n ka?" my mother asked.
"nasa condo, why, what's up?" i replied. it was a lie. i was in a computer shop.
"wala na si grandpa." she said as firm as she could but i could hear a bit of sobbing on her side. i was shocked.
"san kayo? i'll go there!" i said, almost shouting. some poeple in the shop looked at me.
"we're on our way to españa avenue in front of UST to pick a casket. sa likod ng shakey's." she said.
"okay i'll meet you there." i mumbled.
i've never experienced losing someone in the family. this is all so new to me. i'm not as sad as i should be though, because i am assured that he's in heaven with God.
do you want to have that assurance? let's talk.
