Hard Time In My Life

I still talk to you when I am troubled. You also make me laugh and are very fun to hug. Grandpa Gary, it is so fun talking about expensive watches and shoes with you. You are the only one in the family who likes that kind of stuff. It is also really fun to watch horse races with you and talk about life in general.

If I was ever told to describe my grandpa I would forsure describe him as determined, loving, and hilarious. He would always know what to say to make me feel better even if he didn’t know I was upset. Everytime I saw my grandpa he would always have

I never really knew my grandpa as well as I would have liked. He was already an old, old man by the time I started high school, and my own memories of him are mostly of a man confined by age and ailing health. So I'm not really going to talk about my memories of him. Instead, I'm going to try to share his memories and the memories of those that knew him.

My grandma was my best friend when I was young; I couldn’t wait to go see her. Being her only granddaughter I was secretly her favorite. She would have lots of yummy treats when I would visit her and when no one was looking she would sneak me a few

My grandpa is the best grandpa ever , he teaches me stuff and always cheers me up when I'm sad . He always helps me when I don't know what I'm doing and no matter what we are doing doesn't matter if it's working or not we always have fun together and I know I don't see him a lot but when I do I cherish the moments I have with him . That is why my grandpa is my Michigan hero

My grandpa always comes to my sporting events to cheer me on. When he comes, he brings along his camera, taking a million pictures a second, capturing every moment. When I got sick when I was younger papa would always take me to his house, and make sure I was ok. He would wrap me in a mountain of blankets, bring me chicken noodle soup, and turn on Looney Tunes.He would never freak out about me getting him sick like a lot of people did which would make me feel better. Sometimes when my parents are really busy, my grandpa will almost always be there to get me from place to place, never complaining about how it was inconvenient for him or how he had somewhere better to be.

I lived with my grandmother for the first half of my life. She practically raised me. Everyone in our village would talk about how much she spoiled me. She would go out of her way to get what I needed. One day I was playing with my friends, there was food in the house but I just wanted to eat snacks. I complained and whined about it until I got what I wanted she made my uncle go all the way into the city to buy me some snacks even though I could’ve just eaten what was in the house. She was a part of me. We had so much in common. My mom wasn't unable to raise me because she was living in America.

I distinctly remember the weeknights at his house. Sitting upon his lap, walking down the street, getting pulled in my wagon through a park--these were things I loved doing with Grandpa. I was not just another person to him: I was the ultimate grandson, and I was special.

He is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to join cross country. When he was in high school, he was one of the top runners on the team and he was very good at it. He tells me all of these stories that he has about when he was running, such as what types of workouts they did, and how they ran without shoes on in their races. My grandpa always knows the right things to say before my run, while I am running, and after I have finished my race. He says things like make sure you are all stretched out before the race. During a race he makes sure to tell me to stay loose and stride out when I am looking tired or my form is getting off. Then after the race is all over he comes up to me and always says, “Good Job,” then he asks me how I felt during my run, and gives me many useful tips for the next race that I could try. He makes it to almost every single race to support me and that has to be one of the best feelings

Like I said he was my hero and that’s a fact. I remember how much he loved me, and how much he said he did. My grandpa and I were really close, he saw me every single day, When I got home from school. The reason we got so close is because my parents were always at work, so he took care of me everyday. When I always got home we talked about how our day went. When I told him how I got in fights with my friends he didn’t take it serious because he said we

I grew up with my papaw always being at the house. He would just show up to hang out. We’d talk and joke around. He never failed to make me laugh. I’ll never forget half the jokes he always said to me. Some of them weren’t very appropriate, but that’s just who my papaw was.

For many people, Grandpa is a storyteller, someone to go fishing with, and someone who has your back no matter what. The experience I had with my grandpa was a little different. I never got the opportunity to meet my great-grandfather Liston Grider, but he still somehow managed to have a huge impact on my life. Sometimes my mom would tell stories about him; happy memories from her childhood, sad ones that were painful for her to tell, and everything in between. I thought I had heard it all, but this past summer I learned something about my great grandpa that would perhaps impact my life forever. This story was not told by my mom like usual, but by someone who was a complete stranger to me. The lessons I learned would not be taught in a single day, but over the span of a month through a series of Facebook messages and letters in the mail. The words I read upon opening those messages and letters would change my life forever, permanently transform my beliefs, and show me what it truly means to be an American.

When we were together we were invincible, us against the world. I’d look up to him, not only because he was 6’4, but because he was my grandpa. I have clear memories of him picking me up from school, playing old school reggae music during our adventurous car rides. We’d always sing along to our favorites, sometimes turn the music up so loud the people in the cars next to us could hear it. When I would visit his apartment, the familiar smell of drywall and pennies would fill the air. It was my hideaway, my home away from home. My grandpa collected pennies in water jugs. He would say that one day they’d be worth more than just pennies. I loved it there, not only because he had a freezer filled with many flavors of ice cream to which he would often say to me “you can have all you can eat” but because it was our time to bond. For five years it was my mom, my dad, and my grandpa helping me to grow. Those are my favorite people, my role models. Being around my grandpa brought me such comfort and joy.

Friendship is a bond that is created between two people who care for each other. Everyone, at least once in life, used to have a best friend. One day my grandpa Amilcar saw me sad and told me that I could trust him. What is more important, is that he said that he was like my second dad because he loves me as his own son. As a result, we started developing a closer relationship. Now, he is always looking for me to spend some time together. For this reason, I can say that one of my best friend is my grandpa. He is a very interesting friend with many characteristics that are worth mentioning. In contrast, my grandpa Amilcar is an average-looking man that has a unique personality and enjoys interesting hobbies.
