Comparing Ammachi And Apacha

I called my grandparents Mamaw and Pappaw. Mamaw beared a stroke and developed Alzheimer’s disease; and Pappaw fostered Dementia. The abundance of my family assisted with the care of them until Pappaw became ill one day and we had to be carried to the hospital. We found out his heart was malfunctioning, and he was nearing death. He was brought home to be with Mamaw in his final moments. He passed away May 31, 2014. My life was forever

Just like Gloria in “Homeland” I’ve had the fortune of spending time with my grandparents and great grandparents. Also,

It seems as if you can take a lot of people in your life for granted, not really acknowledging all the things they have done for you and others. In a lot of cases, mainly for kids, it seems that your grandmother always has just been there for you, never truly realizing what they have done for everyone. Heck, without her I wouldn’t even exist. The Measure of a human being is shown by true love for others and themselves, and that

People think that grandpas are grumpy old people but they are actually the nicest and warm-hearted people you will ever meet. One warm-hearted grandpa was Homer Medica, Homer Medica who was my grandpa and a amazing hero was inspirational, caring, and most importantly hardworking like any hero should be. One example i know Homer Medica was a caring hero because he used to always give to the homeless whenever they were hungry and always was a family man to others. For example i remember one memory of when my grandpa was caring is when one day when i was hanging out with him at his store he was on his short lunch break and had decided to take me around the street his store was on and before we left he made cheese and turkey sandwiches for all

Amma's ability to see similarities between Islam, Hinduism, and almost all other religious traditions she comes into contact with, shows how willing she is to acknowledge that different religious perspectives don't override the fact that humans all still share the same planet; that is, although each person will experience their life differently, there are still common experiences all people share - and these experiences are manifest in religious beliefs. Whether to explain the unexplained or provide moral and ethical guidance, all religious traditions share some similar underlying objectives, and Amma employs her understanding and acceptance of those underlying similarities in her healing practice. "Just as Muhammad is placed in the expansive avatar system, Amma and Abba also contextual the avatars in a specifically Muslim but similarly expansive category of prophets" (p. 175). In classifying Muhammad and other prophets of Islam as "avatars," Amma and Abba are engaging with a form of religious syncretism and applying that to their

Grandparents relate more closely to grandchildren than to their own children in many ways. Grandparents and their children can be stubborn and not want to deal with each other anymore because of problems from the past. After so long grandparents give up on their children and deal with them from a distance. Grandparents are more willing to relate to their grandchildren more than their children because it is another chance of getting to know their children through their grandchildren.

There have been countless influential people in my life that I’ve come across. One who was a meticulous inspiration continues to be my grandfather. My grandmother had remarried to the one I call “grandpa” when I was at the age of five, and they both took to each other’s grandchildren as their own. With my mother and me only living a mile down the road from their farmhouse out in the country, I’d spent heaps amount of time there as a child. Indeed, I had been without a father but my grandfather stepped up to the plate and had taken me under his wing and willingly played the personification of a father figure.

Great-Grandma is indispensably loving towards her family. She used to come to the great grandkids birthday parties but, when you are 95, you can’t always get out to go places. Great-Grandma appreciates family inviting her and Great-Grandpa to meals at the grandkids house. Also, she loves her husband Clayton James. They have been married 75 years this past December. Great-Grandma has been going to church her whole life. She grew up in a christian family with parents and grandparents who were strong believers.

Of all of my grandparents, I spent time the most time with my maternal grandmother, I got my love of math and baking from her. My paternal grandfather was a businessman and owner of his own company while my maternal grandfather was an accountant, then treasurer of a large corporation. They both inspired and supported my major and career choice.

Grandma and Grandpa are probably some of the most amazing people in the world. I am really blessed to be so close with grandma and grandpa. Both distance wise and relationship wise. I don’t even know where to start. Between all the cooking lessons, rock shows, R.V. shows, birthdays, track meets, concerts, holidays, dinners, snakes, shopping trips and so on I have a lot of ground to cover in not a lot of time. I’ll start with the cooking lessons.

Of course you always hear people talking about how great their grandmother or grandfather are, I too feel the same way about my grandmother. I see her as more than my grandmother, she’s a role mole, my best friend and also like a sister when I need her. She’s always been a loving and caring person. Not for only her friends and family, but also strangers. People she has never met a day in her life she would be willing to go give her last too. You don’t find to many people like her too often.

My grandma had survived a hard life, and yet managed to raise four responsible, well-educated, and successful children. All this she did while working as a respected psychiatric nurse and a state mental health board member. Although she had had and was still overcoming trials in life, I always knew she would be there and cared about me and my life. As my brother and I grew older and were unable to visit my grandparents as often as we

He is very smart. My Grandpa has read many books. In fact, I think he already read over fifty books in his entire life. All this knowledge from books and experience of living for many years make him smart. Certainly, I know he is intelligent because I see it when we have a conversation. For example, he starts telling me about interesting facts or stories about other parts of the world. Next, Amilcar is very respectful. He knows how to treat people with respect. Amilcar has friends that, over the years, have done bad things to him and he stills treat them with respect. As an illustration, he told me once “Treat others how you want to be treated and everything will be good for you.” Furthermore, my Grandpa is an optimistic man. For instance, he tries to show me the positive side of things. For example, one day I was angry and I started cursing everything when my Grandpa told me that instead of being mad I should be counting my blessings. Amilcar is always expecting something good whenever he goes. In particular, every time I see him he has good news for me. All of this is what makes my Grandpa have a unique

    I remember a time when Bumma and I stood in her herb garden in the backyard. As we discussed stories and memories of the past, I pondered what exactly made that moment so special to me. Yes, their house and garden were beautiful, and I loved to spend time with my various grandparents, but this particular setting had always been different. As I called my grandmother over to look at a certain flower, it clicked. That silly nickname I had given her when I was young had cultivated and blossomed, attaching itself to memories and emotion, and becoming a firm foundation in my life. Of course I love all my grandparents and relatives, but the ones that I have special nicknames for certainly hold a place in my heart.

My grandmother has a very softhearted voice that I still hear telling me goodnight when we were little. She would wait with us until we fell deep asleep. And even as we got older she would gather us around the kitchen table and let us watch the old fashioned ice cream maker churn the best vanilla ice cream and then she would load it up with chocolate chips, and our parents would always say, "That's too many.", and grandmother just let us keep piling them on. My grandmother is the kind, gentle, loving, caring grandmother that I wish my children could experience today.
