Lola for All Seasons





They call her Lola Betty. She turned 59 last September 30. A year before she finally retires from her work, I hope.


Other than the wrinkles and hearing problem, she can still run after her small apos. She's your typical Lola who spoils her apos. She has the patience that even I can't seem to have. She went all the way to Dubai when Amber was one month. She was with me when my Ina was born. She readily flies to wherever her apos are and whenever we need her. She is a one-of-a-kind lola who at her age owns a Friendster account. A cool Lola indeed. My girls are her 4th and 5th apos and I can proudly say, they are very lucky to have such a devoted and loving lola.


My Mama is someone I can talk to anytime. I may sometimes make fun of her and still she doesn't complain. I may sometimes scold her but still gets to smile at me. We may not agree with some things but this doesn't diminish my respect and love for her. She understands my moods, she knows my likes and dislikes, she knows what I need even without asking. When she's around, I feel safe and secured. She loves me, Dar and the girls unconditionally, hands up. I won't be surprised if I turn out to be like her when I grow old which I don't mind at all.


She has this magic with her apos that endears her to them. I just wish that she gets to live to see her apos grow old. I always, always pray for her good health so she gets to run after the boys that will try to run after our girls.
