Gaya ng marami niyang kahenerasyon na millennial, matagal ng pinangarap ng 29 anyos na philam na musician mula Henderson, Nevada na si Chris Ponsalan na maging isang sikat na YouTuber.

Pero di niya inakalang ang content na magviral ay nasa loob lang pala ng kanyang pamilya.

Taong 2015, nakapilitan ng pamilya ni Chris na mula Pampanga na gumawa ng isang mabigat na desisyon. Kung ipapadala ang kanilang lola sa isang senior care home o kumuha ng isang full-time caregiver.

She took care of me and I would hate to see her go to home care which is where I feel most grandparents go in America. They go to home care because nobody's able to take care of them. So I just stepped up and took on the responsibility and became her full-time caregiver.

At dahil matagal ng digital creator si Chris, idinagdag niya sa kanyang YouTube at TikTok videos ang araw-araw nilang gawain ng kanyang lola. At noong 2019, pumatok ang kanilang video.

Many people saw it. All these news outlets started reaching out. I gained a lot of notoriety from that and I was shocked. But at the same time, you kind of know that if you're posting these videos online, you know that there's a chance of them being seen by a lot of people. So yeah, I just continued to do that.

Mahirap hindi lang sa pisikal kundi sa emosyon ang pagiging isang full-time caregiver sa mga matatanda. Pero sa kanyang mga videos na ipapakita ni Chris na nagagawa niya ito sa parang magaan, masaya at puno ng pagmamahal. Aminado si Chris na nahihirapan siya makita ang paghina ng kalusugan ng kanyang 96 anyos na lola.

There's a lot of ups and downs. More recently, the thing that has been difficult to see is grandma forgetting where she is and who she's with. To be the only grandson that she remembers 100% of the time, to see her forget who I am sometimes and for me to have to remind her, that's probably one of the more difficult things because it's a constant reminder that life is very fragile and it's very short.

Bagamat maraming hamon, mas pinagtutuunan ang pansin ni Chris ang magagandang aspeto ng pagaalaga sa pamilya. Dito niya masasabing sulit ang lahat ng pagod niya.

Bukod pa sa mga sakripisyong ginagawa niya, ibinabahagi ni Chris ang isa sa mga pinakaimportanteng leksyong natutunan niya.

Habang patuloy na ipinapakita ni Chris ang kanyang mga precious moments kasama ang kanyang lola sa social media, umaasa siya na ang mga milyong-milyong hits at views ay hindi lang maging bagong followers at likes, kundi maging inspirasyon din para sa lahat na matutong magbigay ng buong pagmamahal at aruga sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay habang nandyan pa sila.
