Our Lola's Wake

Our lola Sergia Bachiller Cagang was one of the most wonderful and lovely grandmas ever. She was so nice, romantic and caring. More than that, you'll know more good things about her, but sad to say she's in heaven now together with my grandpa named "Policarpo". She was born on February 10, 1924 and blessed with six children namely Jun (deceased), Melo, Bert, Totoy, Dely and Nerly. She leaves in Kabacan, North Cotabato. Our uncle Totoy wanted to bring her to Las Vegas, USA but she preferred to stay home to take care of her two pets of cats and a lovely house. If given a chance I would prefer to go to US rather than to stay home and take good care of pets. hehehe. A month after the matrimony of my sister, my lola got sicked of pneumonia. She was rushed to the hospital. Besides, she had some water in her lungs. I hurriedly went to lola and visited her because I felt that someday she will be gone soon. In the afternoon, on that same day, as I was about to go home back in Davao City, she kissed and hugged me goodbye. As days went by, there were times that she can hardly breathe, talked and ate that much. She said to everyone that she's too tired and wanted to rest until one day on October 07, 2009 at around 7 in the evening, she rest in peace at the age of 85. We love and miss you lola.
