I'm really scared, and upset ..

Okay, so you all know that I'm going home to the Philippines this summer in August, (if not look at the previous entry) something bad happened. I'll get into that, but first let me tell you this, I woke up at like 7:30 'cause I had to pick up my dad from the airport 'cause he came home today from California. When we were going home from the airport, my dad dropped a huge bomb on me and my mom. He told us that my grandma, his mom, had a stroke on Thursday. She's in the Philippines, so none of our family here is able to see her and see how she's doing or anything. They took her to the hospital on Thursday and she was not good at all. She wasn't herself at all and she can't remember anyone or anything. At the hospital, she wouldn't talk to anyone and whenever someone would try to touch her, she'd hit them. My Tita Doray was fixing her in the bed, and my mamang (that's what I call my grandma) tried to punch her.

My Tita Agnes was with my Tita Doray and decided to call everyone in California and when they found out everyone started crying. My dad, my aunts, my uncles, and all my cousins over there were all in tears 'cause of what happened. My dad spoke to my Tita Agnes and he found out the reason why she's not being herself, the entire left side of her brain was damaged by the stroke. My dad wanted to speak to mamang and she couldn't remember him, ususally when my dad says hi to her she'll recognize his voice and will be like "Oh, kamusta ka na Melchor? Kamusta si Linda, Matthew at M.J.?" ("Oh, how are you Melchor? How's Linda, Matthew and M.J.?") now when my dad spoke to her, she was like "Sino ka?" ("Who are you?") and my dad answered "Si Melchor, kamusta ka na mamang?" ("Melchor, how are you mamang?") she was just like "Okay lang, ba't 'di dinadalaw mo ako?" ("Okay, why aren't you visiting me?") and my dad answered "'Di ako makikipagdalaw dahil na sa Amerika ako." ("I can't 'cause I'm in the States.") and what was really upsetting was when my Auntie Minnie spoke to her, my mamang told her "Bakit ang sinasabi n'yo 'di 'ko malaman?" ("Why are you saying things I can't rememeber?") I'm afraid of what's gonna happen to her. I seriously hope she'll get better, 'cause I want her to be better by the time I go. I hope she'll recognize me, and if she doesn't I'll be in tears .. my dad said he's gonna go to the Philippines in June, I kinda wanna go with him, but I can't really 'cause me and my mom already have our tickets for August.

I was getting all teary eed on the way home, I just want my mamang to get better because I love her and I don't want anything bad to happen to her ..

Mamang, mahal na mahal kita, sana malaman mo yan ..
(Mamang, I love you so much, hopefully you'll know that .. )
