now i know there's nothing really interesting about this discussion.. i just feel like sharing.. this year has been extra weird for the family.. first, lola's (grandmother) getting weak..which is unusual since she's just as strong as a teenager.. next would be my aunt's health problem.. see my aunt never got married because she took real good care of me and my sister.. and i guess the not-having-a-hubby thing made her sick.. i love her..i deeply and sincerely do.. and i feel really weak and useless to see her in the hospital.. today she sent a message to my sister, saying that she's thankful i attended to her needs tonight and enumerated the things we did.. and i just feel so happy yet devastated to know that those things would be all that i can do for her..i how wish there could be more.. to my dearest tata.. i want to take good care of you as you did to me since i was born.. i dont want you getting sick..i dont want to see you weak.. i just want you to be healthy and full of energy.. i love you tata..

I am sorry that your grandmother is getting weaker and your aunt is not feeling well. I hope you continue to do all you can for the both of them. Your aunt sounds like a good woman to devote so much time to yourself and your sister. I am sure you both appreciate and love her very much. I grew up with my parents and also my grandparents raising me. I went to live with my grandparents when I was in High School.
