I don't know how to start this blog without shedding a tear, yes you read that right, a tear, I'm not the usual emotional, cry-ish person who can be touched easily, I remember one time i laughed hard when my sister went home from her hospital shift crying because her patients gave her gifts to show their appreciation to her at how caring she is. (Crying, sniffing, afraid that my Mom will see me) This morning after buying all the stuffs my Mom listed for me to buy in the market, I saw an old lady who can replace Quasimodo as the hunchback with glasses so thick that looks heavy that falls on her nose but can't fix it on place because her hand is full of Sampaguita that she sells.
It just hit me right away, as if my heart was touched by an Angel, I turned back my step which was in a hurry to got home and sit in front of my computer. I bought the 5 pcs for 10 php Sampaguita but gave 20 php and told her to keep the change.
Gelay: Keep the Change Lola
Lola: Ha?
Gelay: Sa inyo na po Lola
Lola: Salamat anak, kaawaan ka ng Diyos
(Ok right now, tears racing out of my eye)
I feel happy to that in a small way I know I helped her and sad that she still needs to work at her obvious old age.
The extra 10 php might not be big things but as we always say it's the thought that counts, and I think the self satisfaction that we were able to help and made them happy with the small amount we shared to them.
Lola made me realize that I am still lucky despite the challenges I'm encountering and I 'm glad that I am able to share to her the little luck I have.
