you can learn a lot from your grandparents♥
My Grandpa; i never learned how to take him seriously. He's always doing
something no one can understand, So today, at breakfast, I asked my mom
why Grandpa never understands, why he can never have a real conversation
with me. Her answer? "A lot of people don't know that your grandpa is very lucky
to be the way he is, as a child, his parents were very abusive. There were 15
kids in that house & Grandpa was the middle child." My heart stopped. I never
knew that.. she also said "His parents didn't allow them to play sports. He would
use a paperclip & string to go fishing, Thats why he treasures all the fishing
poles he has now." I said "Did they ever change?" My mom said, "Actually,
they changed because of your grandpa. One day, he was 17 at the time, he
had enough. He went up to his father & said 'If you ever lay your hand on my
brothers and sisters again, I will pop the head right off of your neck..' He
threatened his own father, to make sure his siblings were safe." I asked "Welll,
did it work?" My mom answered "From that day on, your great grandfather
never hit his children again."
I'm proud of my Grandpa, because he never took after his father &
abused his children. He grew to become the goofy Grandpa I have today,
& for the first time, I look up to him because of it♥
