It has been twelve years when my great grandfather die, I always remember him as a strict yet so loving Lolo sa tuhod. He shares lots of story about our place, their life before the technology arose and how they live by their own. But what amazed me the most among the memories we had with our Lolo is his very old hat holder, this hat holder is older than me it is 90+years old. My Lolo was fond of collecting hats or lets just say cant be complete with out wearing hat whenever he has something to go. In going to market he wears hat, in watching cock fight he wears hat, in putting the goat to the bushes he wears hat, anything that deals with outdoors activity he always wears this native hat. But what is ancient to the story I am sharing with you right now is my lolo’s native hat holder, this hat holder was so weird and so awkward to watch. When I was young I hesitate myself to look at this thing it’s dreadful and it made me shiver whenever I went to my lolo’s house. But this hat holder is unique; this hat holder is made of deer’s horn and its amazing to see that even if it is that old my Lolo was able to preserve this hat holder and for me that thing was ancient and its was 90+ years old. And this hat holder witnesses the every downfall and triumph our family has experienced. If there’s one thing that know our family’s whole story then it is this hat holder of my Lolo. Until now we are still using the hat holder even if my Lolo is already dead. This hat holder will serve as our memory of our Lolo Miguel and his good things and advices will be in our hearts forever.
