Timothy, that was a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. You are fortunate to have had him as your grandfather. In a way, you are his violin, Timothy, and he is still playing music through you. Timothy, your lolo will still be watching over you and will be listening to every note. So play with all your heart, knowing that you are the fulfillment of his own dreams. You remind me of a song:
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
His song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band. A heartwarming story...It made me recall my lolo who died last year...he knows how to play the banjo and banduria...and there was a time when I played the banduria with him.... I know that nakakamiss ang lolo especially if you're close to each other and he's being like a second father to you...oh well, at least you know that your grandfather is happy for you and you're making him happy too by being a great and wonderful violinist(that I think you are!) =) God bless you on your journey. =)

Sincerely,
Annie :)
