I’m back, well sorta…
Its been a while since I wrote something here. The holidays came, january is over, february has just slipped by and now we are here, but one thing remains, I’m still the same old Jerome hehehe. Where to start, well I have a new job which I love, but I’m still thinking of going back to school to study and be where I should have been all along the field of medicine and helping out people. Right now I have taken small steps perhaps in time I will push on with this.
On a sad note, my grandma passed away a little over two weeks ago, its a sad feeling to say the least but at the same time I’m a little relieved because she is not in pain anymore. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain she went through, and just the thought of it makes me all more saddened. Yet I choose to remember her, not of her last moments but her life the way I remember it. She was always full of life, always telling you what is right and wrong but most of all loved you for who you are. I will never forget the time when my grandma and I were all alone in the living room, this one moment in time, we shared such a bond. At the instance, and her current state then, she would not remember much recent events, but ask of her past and she opens up like they were yesterday. I asked her what I was like when I was a kid, what her feeling was when my grandpa asked her to marry him, how the heck she gave birth to 10 children and how much sacrifice she did to give them all a better future. I could never forget that day, we were so happy and had a connection that few would understand, even if it was just a moment.
Another memory was when we would eat dinner and all of sudden she would just fart, and we would all burst out laughing. It wasn’t intended but for good purposes haha. Sigh its really true when when they are gone thats when you realize how much you miss them. I guess I should be happy at the fact that at her last moments I made her laugh and that is what I always wanted her to do…smile one for me grandma, I miss you so much…
