After that disclaimer post, I was just messing around the web and i suddenly felt like doing these testimonial of sorts, to my late grandfathers.
One was a musician, the other an artist. One was brought up in a malay kampong, was a humble man who loved us dearly, was a crazy improviser, was an upright man, who would quit his job instead of do something against his morals. He shared his passion of music and of God with me and his my inspiration to be a better musician, a better son, a better child of God. The other was a typical china man, who learnt to survive alone at the mere age of eleven, hence growing up to be a pragmatic man, but a loving man. I can still remember when my family was a young family, he would give us the basic neccessities such as soup and milk powder, and i being a spoilt brat would complain about not having any toys. Then he would go all the way to burger king and eat a kid's meal to get the toy, cos he couldnt afford real toys. Even though he was a loving grandfather, he made sure that we never slacked off discipline. i was scared of him cos of his fierce face, but now that im older, all i can recall of him is his love for us and how much he cared for us.
Both of you were men of great strength, men of integrity, men who loved their families and who would not let go of their beliefs. Thank you for being in my life, no matter how brief the time we had was. Hope your enjoying heaven now, and may we meet again in better times.
I'll never be the man you both were, but you are my inspiration, and i'll always keep the two of you in my hearts.
Gong, pa, take care and may God be with you all in the next place.
jeremiah luke francisco, your grandson
