MAHAL KITA, LOLO🖤🌻🇵🇭 Yesterday, our Lolo passed from this world to the next over in the Philippines. We were October 21 birthday twins and Libras to our core. He’s at the center of some of my earliest memories of learning to draw. I had too many words for just this caption. Too many photos and memories and years of love that spanned from one side of the planet to the other. I’ll be grateful to the end of time for how many extra hugs, video calls, and memories we still managed to make even though we only saw each other in 2014 in the Philippines and a few years ago here in Florida. I’ve dreaded this day. Said goodbye to the last of my grandparents. Being on the other side of that page in life feels so strange, even though I feel so loved. Birthdays won’t ever be the same, but I love you, Lolo. Thank you for being the very best a girl could ask for. Hug Lola for us. 🖤 Emilio “Jun” Lopez Soriano, Jr. OCTOBER 21, 1937 – JULY 7, 2026 Mahal kita, Ysa
