#princess2015la told me about her two friends, Jamie and Tiago. They wanted her to ask permission from their mom for a playdate. She smiled and simply let them deal with their mom. Her critical thinking skills are alive.

She had a slice of pizza, several spoons of mac and cheese, 1/4 dragon fruit and guava nectar. Then, without any prompting, she cleaned up after herself and put the dishes on the sink.

I love your daughter so much, I told her mother, @coriput.

Yesterday she asked why I was not enthusiastic, “why are you low in energy, Grandma?”

I told her about my friend who died. Then, I shared my video shots of the songs of Aquilina Soriano Versoza and Sokie PaulinYee.

She carefully looked and listened to the songs and smiled. “It’s not like the funeral of Auntie Sarah,” she said. I pointed out the songs were somber, sad, and haunting songs. Here, Lolit wanted a karaoke and joyful memorial.

She lingered some more, talking to me until I felt much better. She simply listened, and that was enough to comfort me.

My #princess2015la is such a beautiful, sweet, emotionally mature, and loving girl. I love my afternoons of picking her up!
