Today’s Lola’s Death Anniversary. Staring at her gravestone, I can truthfully say that I wasn’t sad. It is a feeling that flashes back sweet memories I have with Lola. Suddenly, I felt her warm embrace, her welcoming face, and her caring words. All of those heart-melting moments keep on echoing. Yes, I am sure it was not always laughing times and happy stories. I also remember her ear-cracking voice and pointless murmurings. Yes, bad memories also echo. But, still, it was part of a story of sweet and loving Lola. I will treasure all these flashbacks when you smile with your one tooth out.

La, I smiled back. Know that I love you forever.
