I’ve always lived within driving distance of them, so it’s weird being this far away for so long.

Me as well as my mom on Mother’s Day last May

Late last night mom emailed to tell me that her mom, my grandmother, passed away over the weekend…

I published a photo of her earlier this year. She was one of my glam grannies, the one who went to fashion school.

I didn’t understand her extremely well since I was still a infant when my parents as well as I left the Philippines.

There were some letters as well as cards over the years, however my only remove memory of her was from the one time we satisfied as adults. It was on a trip that my mom as well as I took to the Philippines in 2000.

Wow…I can’t believe that was 12 years ago.

I keep in mind us driving out to the countryside, or “the province,” as my mom would say, as well as costs the afternoon with her family.

They prepared a significant lunch for us, as well as while we ate as well as chatted as finest we could, with me not comprehending the dialect spoken by my mom’s side of the household extremely well, my grandma told us stories about my mom as a çocuk.

My granny was a small woman, little however tough, with a smile that lit up the room. When I satisfied her, even though her deal with was lined with wrinkles, she was such a beauty.

This was method out in a rural part of the country, far from Manila, where the chickens, which are always running around everywhere, most likely outnumber the people, LOL!

At one point, my aunt asked me if I desired a glass of fresh coconut juice, to which I nodded enthusiastically, as well as the next thing I knew, somebody was climbing a tree outside, as well as my aunt was hacking open a coconut with a machete as well as pouring the juice into a glass!

Talk about being a long, long method from the San Francisco Bay Area…

I keep in mind leaving the province that day after lunch as well as believing about exactly how nice my granny seemed. I desire that time as well as distance had made it easier for us to get to understand each other better.

She was regarded as the very best modiste in her village as well as was always immaculately dressed from head to toe. I discover myself wondering about random things, like what her stance on asymmetrical hemlines was, what her preferred contemporary day fashion styles were, as well as which job runway designers she believed had the most skill (yup, they watch a great deal of the exact same shows we do).

Even though we never got to understand each other extremely well, I’m sad. more for my mom, though. I can’t envision exactly how she must feel.

My heart aches when I believe that someday I’ll no longer have my mom around…

As you can see, I’m feeling a bit mushy today. If I haven’t told you lately, say thanks to you. thanks for always being there as well as for listening.
