Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned

Lessons that I had Learned

I had a relationship with a very important person, our relationship isn’t what people think. He was Bill Goff, but to me he was “Papa”. My Papa was the most kind and gentle person I have met in my lifetime, he was full of wisdom. I was about six or seven when he passed away, he had lung cancer but the chemotherapy did more harm then it did healing. He used to make some of the best Kool-Aid and lemonade I have ever tasted. One time we had went to fish and my Papa, had brought my cousins this time. He had found this tree and told us to climb it, so we climbed in it and he took our pictures and we still have those pictures. We used to watch Tom and Jerry on the television, daily. We would always go fishing at Dead Indian Lake near Cheyenne, OK. This one time we went fishing and I had caught a fishing trying to get its last meal. It was getting eaten by a different fish. One other time when we went fishing I had caught the biggest bass of my life, or at last it felt like it when I was five years old. My papa and I had a bond that could not brake and not one time did he doubt anything that I had said.

My grandma is a petite native american lady that is one of the most caring people you will ever meet.

After he had passed my grandma had been very strong during all the bad times. For as long as I can remember my grandma had continued to keep her chin up and her head held high. She is very loving and compassionate through thick and thin. Very recently she had lost a sister. Even then she is strong willed and denies to let that get in her way having of having a and pleasant

life.

My mother is a short, red-haired women that is very deep and compelling. My mom had a rough time dealing with the passing. Some days she would have a break down and cry. At the time I had no idea why she was crying, but as time passed she did not cry as much. Now that I look back at the times she did cry. Not once did she say anything or even make a face, all I could see was tears rolling down her cheeks. My mom would leave me with my grandparents when she had to work. It was usually for a while because she had to work three different jobs.

My Papa was the one person that taught me the most important lesson I will learn. To no matter the pain and suffering always keep my chin up and always smile so that no one else can see the pain. My grandma taught me that even through death there is still love and light. My mom taught me that even the strong can show some weakness. Every person in the paper taught me important lessons in life even if they had not thought about how they acted.
