“Grabe 88 years old na Lola nanlilimos para mapag-aral ang kanyang 8 years old na apo
Dami ko na nakikitang ganitong tao. Gusto ko silang tulungan para kahit papaano sa maliit na bagay napapasaya natin sila. Kaso sa lagay ni Lola, hirap na siyang maglakad tapos mahina na po ang pandinig niya kaya pagkinakausap ko siya eh kailangan ko pang lakasan yong boses ko para lang madinig niya.
Sana kapag may mga taong kayong nakikita ganito ay tulungan natin. Oo, pare-parehas tayong mahihirap pero kung magbibigay ka sa bukal sa loob mo eh Diyos na ang bahala sa inyo dahil ang mapagmahal sa kapwa ay malaking gantimpala sa Diyos, hindi dito kundi sa kalangitan kung saan siya naghahari.
Kaya ganito nalang ang awa ko kay Lola kase nakikita ko ang magulang ko sa kanya. Sobrang hirap ng magulang namin dati makapag-aral lang kami nung nabubuhay pa sila.
Ang huling natatandaan ko, humingi ako ng pang-tuition kay Mama tapos bumabalik siya sa akin na paiyak siya, tapos sabi sakin, “Anak, wala akong nautangan.” Bigla siyang umiyak nun kaya nung nakita ko ‘yun, di ako nawalan ng pag-asa.
Gumawa ako ng paraan para makatapos, nag-fast food ako tapos nagsikap mag-aral. Hindi lang masabi sakin ng Mama ko masaya para sa aming magkakapatid. Madami akong kwento sa buhay ko, miss na miss ko na mga magulang ko mga. Kung pwede lang hiramin kay God ang mga magulang ko, ginawa ko na sana”
