I can not remember a lot of things about my grandfather. My grandmother and he separated when my mother was just a little kid. Fortunately, I still had the chance to see him from time to time.
...
As a child, I can remember the two of us feeding his peacock.I loved watching the animal walk around and my grandfather would just stand beside me. He was such a quiet person.
...
Then, my family transferred to a different location and I didn't see tatay for a long time. I was a lot older when I saw him again. And so was he.
...
I can not tell anything about him anymore. I wasn't really able to spend a lot of time with him.
...
I thought that didn't matter. Now I know I was wrong.
...
My mother woke me up this morning telling me we're going to see tatay in the hospital. He had a serious heart attack. It was his second, and this time, it was a lot worse.
We reached my grandma's house at noon. My aunt said grandpa's chances of living were low. My mom went to the hospital while I chose to stay.
...
My mom came back after an hour or two. She cried while telling my other aunt what she saw at the hospital.
I walked out of the house. I couldn't stand all the crying.
...
Tatay's in a coma. And the doctor said it'll all be over soon.
...
I try to keep my tears behind my eyes. I don't know why.
...
Nobody can do anything anymore. That tube of oxygen is the only thing that keeps him alive. It's tatay's choice now..
...
I still care. He's still my dear grandfather.
...
Lord, we leave his fate to You.

we love you tatay..
