August 02, 2024 When Lola Visits by Michelle Sterling
We all have memories of our Lola (grandmother) -- for me it's when she made her homemade sampaloc or baked spaghetti, when she would say "ay ambot sa imo" meaning "I don't understand you" or "I can't figure you out". Whatever it may be it's memories that we will treasure forever.

In this story, a young girl's Summer is filled with memories of her Lola when she visits and all the things they do together.
