my grandpa

I would like to talk about my grandpa who is a huge inspiration in my life and that even if he would sometimes try to teach me something that i thought was boring, but even then i still appreciated for the effort he made trying to tech me things. Now i can also appreciate what he actually has taught me and what he still teaches me. I got to know him so much more about him after stories and stories about his childhood and adulthood till now i now understand why he thinks he way he does and why he does things in certain ways. 

My grandpa stopped going to church after there were some changes being made in it. He felt really let down and lost hope. Recently I got a letter from him telling me about some stories he had with me and some life changes i have made in him. He wrote to me that when i was a kid i was very sensitive and felt like may parents pushed me too hard. He saw my suffering and one day he went inside a church and prayed to Mary asking he to give me healing and patience wit my parents. When I read his letter teas stated falling off my cheeks. 

I didn't think I would have such a huge impact in someone's life. After that day when he made a prayer, he made an allegiance to start going back to church again. 

No one knows why he came back except him and I. This is why I love my relationship with him. He is such an understanding human being and who has gone through many emotions he has gone through. During my senior year in high school I took AP photography and I was really passionate about it. I made a portfolio that expresses the feeling of loneliness though misunderstanding, and my grandpa saw it right away without even knowing what I photographed about!

His sensitivity to things is so genuine that expresses his past experiences. I find those so inspiring because even though the years appart between us we still had a similar way of living life and on seeing things.

My grandpa is one of the most influential person in my life and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else!



See you guys next time!
