Imagine being greeted like this after not seeing your grandparents for months!
This grandson couldn’t help but share his heartwarming encounter with his 81-year-old lola when he got home to their province.
And the videos uploaded on social media were racking up views!
The online community was very happy to witness their bonding moment.
“Kararating-rating ko lang po nun sa bahay namin sa Oriental Mindoro galing Manila. Alam naman po niyang uuwi ako pero di ko po sinabi kung kelan, para masurpresa siya. Lagi pong ganun ang reaksyon niya pag umuuwi ako dahil siguro namimiss niya po ako. Kaya sabi ko, kukunan ko ng video ‘yung mismong pagdating ko ng bahay para madocument ko ‘yung reaksyon niya,” Christephen Vasquez shared.
Christephen went home for a vacation in Oriental Mindoro, where his Lola Josefina is currently staying.
“Siya po ang kasama ko paglaki at katabi sa higaan nung bata pa ako. Nahinto na lang nung di na kami kasyang dalawa. Dahil po sa trabaho ko, nakakauwi na lang po ako tuwing may mahabang okasyon o pag may holidays po,” he noted.
Christephen described his lola Josefina as joyful, sweet and religious person.
Growing up, they used to go to church together.
“Siguro po ung kada-linggo kaming sumisimba, na hanggang ngayon nadala ko na rin po sa pagtanda. Kapag nga po kapag nakakaligta akong magsimba minsan, siya kaagad naiisip ko. Kasi lagi nyang parangal, hindi daw po dapat makalimot sa itaas,” he recalled.
Netizens found the apo-lola interaction videos heartwarming and touching.
The first video uploaded on TikTok has already garnered more than 1.4M views!
Christephen left the province on May 10. He currently works at a broadcasting company in Mandaluyong.
“Dahil po sa trabaho ko, nakakauwi na lang po ako tuwing may mahabang okasyon o pag may holidays po,” Christephen said.
Fortunately, Lola Josefina remains strong and healthy.
“Lola Pina, alam mo naman La kung gaano kita kamahal. Dalangin ko lang sa maykapal, na biyayaan ka pa ng mahabang buhay at malusog na pangangatawan. Sana ay wag nang masyadong makulit minsan at baka mapahamak. Paano na lang ako, pag nawala ka. Di pwede ‘yun syempre!!! Love you palagi, La,” he said when asked about his message for his grandmother.
