On Getting Married Issue No. 2
Second week of July when we rushed my grandfather to the hospital because of his chronic lung disease, which eventually led to his death after 2 weeks of almost living in the hospital.
When he was still alive and little bit strong, i would always take time to massage his body especially his feet. One evening when i was massaging his hands, he hold my hands for awhile and told me, ” Imaginin mo na lang na intsik yung minamasahe mo. Bakit kasi gustung gusto mo sila. Magpapakasal ka na ba sa intsik?” I laughed out loud. Right there and then, naiyak ako… here was an old blind and deaf man, and yet he clearly hears and sees my heart. He knew how i love the chinese people and longing to be with them… but somehow, God is still keeping me here in the Philippines… for what reason? I do not even know.
If only my grandfather can see see the name written in my heart… im sure he would approved it. Why? Because that name is the one who makes me happy, accepts me, and continues to make me crazy.
