I come from a tight knit family and my grandparents are a
major part of my life. When I was younger, my Lolo (grandfather) and Lola
(grandmother) would always be ready to babysit me and my cousins whenever our
parents were at work and we didn't have nannies.
Lolo would spoil us by cooking our favorite food and giving
us special treats like chocolates and ice cream. He would also tell us stories from his
childhood which we would all enjoy listening to. Lola, whom our family said
goodbye to early this year is a saint! Aside from going to mass everyday
(sometimes even twice a day) to pray for us, she would always make time for us.
She played with us, sewed our costumes for school activities and even tutored
us in Math.
My childhood was enriched because of my Lolo and Lola which
is why it's important to me that the twins have a great relationship with their
LaMom and Mima. The twins are very lucky to have two doting grandmothers. And
since it's grandparent's day today, I made a list of how I think grandparents make
life grand.
