Visiting Lola Charing

I enjoy visiting my Lolo and I also enjoy visiting my Lola!  And I believe that if there is one thing that keeps my Lolo and Lola strong is because all the family members love and watch over them!!  

She doesn’t like me taking her photo, but of course she cannot stop me because she loves me 🙂  Here is my beautiful Lola with my cousin Ana who really takes care of my Lola!  She is amazing!  I would hire her to do this for me, but really the time she spends is truly a labor of love and is priceless!

My cousin Gogs was there too!  of course because he lives with her 🙂

My Lola has so many witty quotes just like my Lolo!  She is so funny!

Ana is an expert at organizing and making signs and laminating them

She made all these signs around the room of Lola to remind her of the things she has to do to take care of herself.  My Lola is 93 years old and she is very independent and very sharp!  But look at these cute signs Ana put around her room 🙂

At the end of the day, Lola really appreciates Ana and all that she does.  Lola always looks for her!! 🙂  Kapisan is bisaya meaning industrious or hard working 🙂
