I got back from Shanghai last Sunday. It felt so good to be back home where people can actually understand what you're saying. My mom was so sweet, she bought cake and cooked food for my return. It felt like the return of the prodigal son though. Haha. I'll write about my trip this weekend.
Mike's grandfather passed away last Monday. It was so sudden. He was admitted to the hospital last Friday due to liver problems. His kidneys shut down, his breathing was labored, his heart was failing, then he just slipped away. All that in just a matter of days.
For those who don't know, Mike lives with his grandparents (because his parents have been living in Laguna Niguel, California for three years now) so he has quite a close relationship with them. He and his grandfather may have had some differences but they're always respected and cared for each other. The burial service will be held on Saturday.
I was always a little bit nervous around his grandfather. He was so formal to me when my relationship with Mike was just starting. He used to call me "Miss Ejercito" instead of just plain "Lizelle". He was conservative and old-fashioned, a man who valued his privacy. But in the months that followed, he became warmer, more welcoming, and he always had a ready compliment for me.
He was a good man and he will be missed.
Goodbye, Tito Rene.
