Angelo Rayos

Angelo Rayos is my grandfather on my mother's side. He is 90 years old and still kicking. Base on what my family saying my Lolo is still doing great despite of he is already old. He was staying with my family for a while because being with them, he is really well taken care of. It is not that in my uncle's house he is not. It just that the lifestyle is different. But now my Lolo is back to them. My uncle live in Jasaan Misamis Oriental. The reason why Lolo has to go home because he is worried that if something happen to him he died in Bukidnon his other kids will not be able to see his body and as his request he wants to be buried on top of my grandmother's tomb.

My memory of my grandparents were they were a very good grand parents. When I was a little girl they used to play with me and with my cousin. We love to play pretend house to house. Lolo used to build us our home using a coconut leaves. While Lola had to help us cooked our food in a small toy pot. We used to go to the river and go swimming. Lola's specialty was to chew a coconut and put it on our hair to have a good looking hair I guess. At that time I didn't care I was loving every moment spending time with them. Also one thing on them every 6pm at night they make it sure we were in the house to pray the holy rosary. As a kid we don't like it, that is why sometime we got a pinch from Lola somewhere our legs and men that was hurt.

My grandparents are not rich they don't have money but they have full of love that they gave to us. I miss them so much. I know wherever my lola now she is happy and keep on waiting when Lolo will follow her. Lolo until now he is still funny. When you listen to him talking about his past you can't believe he was once used to have a lot of girls. He even mention that Mama my mom have another sister that they don't know. Lolo keep it in secret. No one know about it until now.

So much on this I the more I am trying to recall how great grandmother and grandfather they are it makes me want to cry. I hope I can be like them once I will be a grand mother. But for now I have to try to be a good mother because honestly I think I am not.
