RIP Lola Ching, 5:58 am

I love you. I can't imagine how life is going to be without you. I'm pretty sure the last thing I said to you while you were living was "Bye, Lola" when I was leaving Auntie Melody's house after watching Kung Fu Panda last Sunday. When I visited you yesterday afternoon, I had the highest hopes that you'd be okay. Now I know that you really are okay, because you're in a better place. My dad got a text from Uncle Boboy this morning at 8:38 and when he told me, I jumped up and told my dad to hurry to the hospital. I walked into the hospital room, 323(a), and saw Auntie Melody, Ate Rona, Auntie Gypsy and Nana Sacing. I had already been crying before I left the house, but when I walked in and saw everyone crowded around you, I started wailing. We love you, Lola. I am so very happy that you're with Lolo Pio now, and your mother and father. Auntie Melody told me that when you were in the hospital, you were raising your arms up to the ceiling and trying to reach something. Auntie Melody said, "What's up there?" and Auntie Gypsy said, "Papa". Lola, I miss you so much. I never thought you would die from a stroke now, three days before my birthday. You know, I realized that I never knew anything about you. I didn't know your favorite color or what you thought about my haircut, or any of those silly things. I'll always remember how warm your face felt when I touched you, and how minutes later, your body cooled. I'll never forget your face while you were lying literally lifeless in that hospital bed - with your mouth slightly open. You were wearing fake teeth, for once, and we were all laughing about it. I was thinking "It looks like she's smiling", and I felt so relieved that you were at peace. Are you happy in heaven? I wish I knew. I'll see you someday. Be sure to tell me everything :)
