Lolo is the grandfather of Jay, Jun, Grace, Angel, Emily, and Chris, the father of Jay’s dad, Tito Maning, Tito Danilo, and Tita Chato, and the husband of Jay’s grandmother, whom Jay calls Lola. Jay and his family lived with Lolo and Lola when Jay was born before moving to the United States. Lolo and Lola live in a rural area of the Philippines without cell service or Internet, far from Manila. It’s difficult for Lolo and Jay to communicate, because Lolo’s English isn’t great and Jay doesn’t speak Tagalog.

To Resurrect
Quotes
In the car with Tito Danilo and Grace on the way back to Lolo and Lola's, I think about how there's a new grief in remembering Jun now, knowing what eventually happened, knowing that he was more than my idea of him in ways I do not like, knowing that there's probably so much more I'll never know.
I was determined to find the truth. And I did—at least a piece of it. But was it worth it? What do I even do now?
This didn't play out how I thought it would.
I expected the truth to illuminate, to resurrect.
Not to ruin.
