Like Ive said before, Lolo was not just a great man...He was the BEST man. Those who have crossed his path couldnt help but adore him. Whats there not to adore? He showed me what unconditional love was all about. I felt that, in his eyes, we could do no wrong. He never judged. He just loved. Through everything, he kept his wit and sense of humor. Like Mick said, it was always the Lolo versus Lola show, and it was far more entertaining than anything youll find on television. Rather than arguing back, hed call Lola beautiful. Sarcastic, you think? No, he meant it. Love just radiated off him. I think the joy that most grandparents have is that they can love and spoil their grandkids, and then give them back to their parents at the end of the day. I spent a great chunk of my life living with Lolo. Haha..he couldnt give me back! He couldnt give US back...my cousins and I were always there. When we were in elementary school, he prepared our lunches, took us to school, and picked us up. If we forgot our homework at home, he would bring it to school for us. If I decided I wasnt feeling good that day (yes, I was one of those), Lolo would pick me up. Lolo played a big part in raising us. And he did it willingly, with no complaint. Instead, with a smile. Thats how he lived: no complaint, just a smile. Thank you, Lolo, for everything. For being you. For loving me unconditionally. For taking care of our family. You are everything that that I want to be. Im so glad that you were able to meet my youngest, Nathan aka your atan atan. You made him smile just as much as he made YOU smile. I cant fathom you not being here in physical presence; to console me as you used to, when no one else would attempt it. Your voice always made everything better, and I will miss it. Im sure youre happy where youre at, with your buddy St. Peter. You can eat what you want now Lolo...no one will tell you otherwise. I hope theres a heavenly casino up there for you, too. And, I know youre watching over all of us. Please visit me in my dreams sometime. Id love to see you. This will not be the end of my conversations with you...Ill make sure to chat with you all the time because I know youre listening. Put in a good word for me with the big guy, so that when my time comes Ill be able to run into your arms. I love you more than you know. Love your oldest granddaughter, Nette PS- Say HI to Apu for me...and to all my loved ones in Heaven.
