this is for my lolo jake

How many times have you said thank you to the people who have given you the best of the world.

Here it goes, early this morning we received a call saying that my lolo jake had a heart attack while he was working late in his office in San Francisco USA and his office mate found him in under his desk having seizures. A blood clot was found in the right side of his brain though we have been informed that it was successful, he is still unconscious and may result for him to be paralyzed.

Even though lolo jake is my grandfather’s brother he was like my own lolo, he has always been supportive of my goals in life ever since I was little Lolo Jake never failed to show me how much he loves me, be it supporting me emotionally and financially. I remember when we were still in the States lolo would always ask me what I want as a gift during my birthdays and Christmases. My first MP3 player was from him. He never failed to give me a check during my birthdays. He was the kind of person who would always put his family first. He never even had the chance to get married and start his own family because he loves us more than anything.

The last time that I saw him was my last homecoming in the states (I call it homecoming because of the family I have there)that was May 2008, Lolo made sure that I will have the best vacation ever. Lolo Jake is very generous, I was able to join SCOP, attend Workshops and all even with its high cost because of him.

And now that his sick and with the big chance that I wouldn’t be able to see him again, though I plan to spend Christmas with them

I hope he’ll get that chance to read or hear this,
My dearest Lolo Jake,

I don’t know where to start, so here it goes Thank you for being there, thank you being the best. My birthdays has always been special because of you. You never failed to make me feel how much you love me. You have considered me as your own apo. You have always given me the best of both worlds. Lolo I still need you.. I still want you to see me fulfill my dreams, achieve my goals and get married one day. Lolo words are not enough to show how thankful I am. Lolo please wake up soon..
