She made her storytelling her second jobs and she loved making children laugh. She sell her food in the market by a day and tell stories by the night. Sometimes children would walk from miles away just to come and sit down by the fire to listen to my grandma tell stories about different kind of people she meets on her journey. Children and adult younger would circle around the fire. My grandmother would stand in the middle in front of the drummers and everyone focuses their eyes on her. Everyone was every quiet as if they were watching their favorite television show at home. Children were running around like it was Halloween and they were going trick or treat on the street. Children enjoy listening to my grandmother’s stories and learn lessons from her stories. My grandmother was an inspirational to people in her village and you can say that she was the voice in the wilderness which speaks for everyone. My grandmother Abena helped many people but after her tragic accident, she could no longer help anyone nor
As a little girl I remember going Morrel mushroom hunting with my maternal grandparents and cousins at my great-grandmothers property. My great-grandmother raised sheep until she was 86 years old and the family had to sell them for her safety. She was crawling across the road in the winter to care for them. I remember her always heaving at least one “bottle baby” in the house every year; the grand kids loved to help her feed them. I always loved going to her house on the weekend and making molasses cookies with her and drinking hot
She only cares for herself and uses her manipulative skills to trick the other characters into doing what she wants. However, she views herself to be of higher moral standings than the other characters. If the grandmother has any lesson for the reader, the lesson is that no matter how tricky one is or how high one holds their standards to be, not everyone gets their way all the
Have you ever been away from someone so long and then with them for so short of a time, but in that time you see how wonderful this person is, and they leave a mark on everybody they meet, see or touch. The thing is this person has a big problem despite how many people they touch on the outside world, the truth is their family is falling apart …you’d never think this beautiful person has a dysfunctional family. This is a story about a lady I can call grandmother her name is Ms. Carolyn Ruth Norwood.

I'd like to talk today about my grandmother, Ruth Smith - about who she was, what she meant to us, and what this day means.
Being a parent you have many roles such as cooking, cleaning, providing clothes, loving your child and maybe spoiling them sometimes. As a grandparent most of those responsibilities are gone and you are allowed to have fun. Cally, a grandmother from the book, loves taking her grandson to do many activities throughout the day and never feels like she has to be a mother, only a fun grandmother (MHM p,43). In the interview Pat had said “ I like being able to go to the mall and buy them ice cream without having to worry about their dinner.” The ability to break the rules and spoil the grandchildren bring joy to the grandparents because the kids are happy. Grandmothers receive joy from this because as a mother you worry about healthy food or getting the dishes done but as a grandmother you have more time and can wait a day to do those things (MHM p,
As a University student now looking back on the past, all the trials and hardships, my grandmother passing was not all dreadful. In fact, this dreadful event actually opened up my eyes for me to reach my highest peak. It has taught me to be strong and proactive. In addition, it taught me that I should get all I can while I am alive and do not take anything, such as education, for granted.
Because of her active involvement in my life and Eileen’s she became known to our friends as “Mama”. Where ever we would go- she would go with us, that’s just the way it was… she got so close to our friends that they formed their own friendship with her.
Hello, I’m Tala Ashour and I am going to be giving a tribute speech to my role model. How many of you would like to go back in time just to be able to meet a wonderful person you’ve never got the chance to meet? A wise woman who is known as Shannon Alder once said; “Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” I would go back in time to meet the most admirable person in my life which is my grandfather because I fell in love with him but never met him. My deceased grandfather was a caring, genuine and humble human being that wanted nothing but a happy, comfortable and acceptable life.
Family : My Grandmother Mildred truly defined the word family as I have come to learn and live it. Holidays and family gatherings were the celebrations they were because they were surrounded by Grandma’s love. I watched family such as my late uncle Reginald become the amazing family man he was because of traditions instilled by his mother. I have also seen her daughter - my aunt Milinda – raise three beautiful children by the love and traditions passed down from Grandma. I, of course, owe most of who I am from Grandma’s love passed down through my own mother Rayetta and her husband George, whom Grandma so highly regarded.
My grandmother, Rokeya Sultana, grew up in the urban parts of Bangladesh, with 2 sisters and 3 brothers. Her father, my great grandfather, was the chief officer of the district. She would go to school or to places by a motorcycle, car, or helicopter. She was living the life of her dreams. But then, my great grandfather had diabetes, and it was discovered one month before he died. It was a great shock for my great grandmother’s family because they had to move from the urban city to a rural neighborhood. My grandmother went to elementary, middle, and high school as a child. She also received a Bachelor’s degree in teaching. She was a good student and a very honest and respectful person. Once she reached the age of 20 to 21, she married Jonab Ali, my grandfather, and moved to Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.

They say grandparents, are the two most favorite people in the world to children.

Some grandparent’s teach you a very valuable lesson of life, they teach you respect, hard work, family values, and unlimited love. They show you their love in many ways, they say I love you in words as well as actions. Grandparents are the ones that sometimes get you out of trouble and guide you to the correct path. They show you trust, a trust that cannot never be broken.
I have a lot of cousins; therefore I am not the only grandchild for my grandparents. However, I was the only one that was raised by my grandparents. They spent the most of their times on me compared to my other cousins. For example, I slept with my grandma when I was young. Because of my body was weak, and my hands and feet usually cool all night, my grandma always held my hands and feet to make my body warm. She was told me fairy-tales or real stories at night when I was sick, because she wanted me to feel better. When I was little girl, on the family trip, grandpa always carried me, because he didn’t want me to walk too long. Living without the parent, it made me sad but my grandparents given too much love on
Grandparents are sometimes required to care for grandchildren for a variety of reasons. It could be because of the death of parents, divorce, teen pregnancy, drugs, jail time, abandonment, mental health issues, military, or because of the involvement of social services due to abuse or neglect. More often than not, grandparents take on these new responsibilities as caregiver to their grandchildren to keep the children within the ...
She was a women of great faith and was raised in a Catholic Church and community which she passed down. I didn’t really understand her as a kid until I really experienced life then I understood her teachings and trainings. She took religion serious and she made sure everyone of us participated in church. Today I’m thankful because my morals and ethics were built up by her because I followed her steps. My grandma had most of what the “masses” think gives happiness. Her religious life helped her to gain a lifetime virtue and to understand morality. Money was not really a problem for her. I believe poverty could make one lose ethical values. Some people steal because they have no money and stealing is bad, what is bad is bad but in such case they have no choice. She really believed in helping people, even when she can’t afford what someone asked of, she gets herself in debt just to help. My grandma’s town is known to take education really serious and they go to any extent to help sending each other’s kids to school, which became part of my grandma and I respected her a lot for that. She loved and cared for other children like they were her
