Hello po. I just want to share something.
There is someone who has stood as my father since I was born—my lolo. He made me feel what it was like to be loved and taken care of. He gave me shelter, food, love, care, and support, just like what a father would give to his child. Through him, I felt the warmth of a father’s love.
But last December 3, 2025, he passed away. The pain is so overwhelming that it feels like my heart is being torn apart. All the pain and exhaustion I felt during those days came crashing down at once, and it has been so draining.
The day I received the news of his passing was also the same week as my final exams for our first semester. I didn’t know what to do. I felt completely lost while taking my exam. My mind was clouded with pain, and I couldn’t focus at all. The worst part is that I failed my major exam.
Up until now, the pain is still here. I don’t know how to ask for help, and I can’t fully express what I am feeling. That’s why I wrote this message—so that at least I could share my feelings with someone.
This Christmas, I lost the only person who truly cared for and loved me when no one else did. I lost my best friend, my lolo, and my father.
