Grandma

My grandma is retired from her secretarial job. Twice a month she visits with her older sister in the country to make certain that she is being taken care of proprly. It is during these frequent trips that I realize how much she is a part of my everyday life. My grandma lives downstairs from me. From the inside of our house, there is no stairs connecting the top and bottom floors. If I want to go downstairs, I have to use the outside stairs. I wear these flat slippers that make a tapping sound

It was a less than normal late fall day. My parents had gone to see my grandma, since she had not been feeling well for awhile now. She had no intentions of getting any better. My grandma was not your average old lady. A lot of things she did stood out to me as not “normal”. But ever since my mom and step mom met she had been like that, so it seemed “normal” to me. My parents had met awhile ago, just after my biological father and my mom broke up. I liked my step dads family better anyway. I consider

The Conscious Good of Unconscious Evil Questioning the world as observers and contemplating what constitutes a moral code versus following the norm play a major role in self growth. The frustrating contradictions of one’s self-aware mind begin to unwind into its own understanding of what’s real and the illusion. Illusions can be underlined with beliefs, faith and perception of someone’s own experiences and mistakes. The Mistakes that are made throughout a lifetime are essential to understanding

It started on a Monday. Monday is the day when everyone is at their worst, especially Gwen Harris. She was furious. Her favorite food in the whole world, tater tots, were discontinued at the school cafeteria, and she was left with soggy salad. Her friend had left early for a doctor’s appointment, and she had no one else to talk to. That day was the Monday of all Mondays. So on that very day, the universe decided to send Gwen a challenge. As Gwen was walking home from school, a woman walked by her

My grandma and I love each other. She has always been the person I would go to in my terrifying times of trouble. I am starting from where I can remember, her life and mine. Somedays I would go see her just because she is my grandma and my father loved her a lot. That was when she was healthy and able to go out to love her grandkids. I remember all the weeks I would go without seeing her; her and my grandpa loved to travel with her, so I regret wanting to be with my friends other than her. I used

During my time interview my grandma Moui, she stated her grandfather is named Thongdee Sophabmixay and he married my great great-grandmother Nang Laso. He was the mayor of the Muang Sami Tai of the Huaphanh province Laos. Her grandfather had married to three wives after each one of them dies and had nine children. Thongphet is Thongdee’s son which is my great grandfather and he married to Kang Koui which is my great-grandmother. Thongphet was a judge of Xiang Man City and he had nine children. However

Hi Grandma, I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for all the support you've given me over the years in everything I do, whether it is volleyball and golf, school, or just anything else in general. I really appreciate how much time and energy you put into making your grandchildren happy, and you are definitely doing a fantastic job at it. Now, I am asking for your support in one more thing: I will be returning to Guadalajara, Mexico this summer with a group of my Senior friends as a way

any of us grandkids or great-grandkids could walk, Grandma Opal had us on the farm learning how to check the hotwire fence with a screwdriver, in the garden planting and pulling the weeds or playing with the pets that were on the farm. Growing up in a small town everyone knows everybody. Opal, who was actually my great grandmother had been like a grandmother to various others. The town of Maysville is not a very large, so everyone knew her by grandma. Whenever the phone would ring, we would all answer

about Grandma’s stroke and what to expect. After getting to Cresco, I couldn’t wait to get out of the car and to see Grandma. Nothing could prepare me for what the night was going to bring. At last, we arrived at the bay where my grandma laid. My body froze. I had no idea on how to approach her. I slowly walked in as my dad said, “Here comes the birthday girl.” I could only smile. Grandma looked back at me even when her mind wasn’t completely there. I felt so much pain just seeing her lay there. My heart

"Sunday Candy," a short film written by Chancellor Johnathan Bennett also known as Chance The Rapper is not only a dedication to his late grandmother, but is also a showcase of his artistic abilities beyond rhyming over an arrangement of instruments, sounds, and tempos.
