Tera- Lovely answer thank you.

Deirdre O- Another lovely answer. My thanks.

Answer 1

Both of my grandfathers are deceased, and both were very different people in many ways. One of them was a police chief, and he was very rigid, very, well..."self-righteous", kind of bigoted, too- sadly, prejudiced against just about everyone who isn't white. He was definitely "hard to please." He loved me most when I was very young, naive, "innocent." When I became a teenager, and he saw that I opposed his ways of thinking, he showed a lot less love for me. In fact, I think he rather disliked me, to tell you the truth. We were very different from each other in many ways. I felt I could never live up to his standards...and he always let me know it. My other grandfather loved me unconditionally. There was a certain "light" that shined in his eyes whenever he looked at me. He always "had time" for me. Never a harsh word. He made me laugh....he never made me cry. He did tireless work for children's charities. He raised a lot of money for children's hospitals. He always had a story or a joke to tell. I miss him so much. I know he was proud of me. I get tears in my eyes whenever I think about him. He's the one person in my life thus far that has shown me what it means to truly love.

Answer 2

Both my grandfathers would be proud of me. One fought bravely during WWI bringing the dead and injured back from the front. My mum's dad was born into poverty in Belfast. Saw them build the Titanic. He was the most spiritual, kind man I have ever met. I come from spirituality and courage, and I try to embody both of these at all time.

Answer 3

Mom's dad: You bet! He mastered several musical instruments, taught me how to play the keyboard (none of his others grandchildren felt the call of music), and gave me my fair share of reprimands when (while visiting him) I got into mischief. I would liked to him lived long enough to see me graduated.

Dad's dad: Don't know really. Died 10 years before my parents even meet each other. He was a tough farmer, people call him "cat" for his green, almond-shaped eyes. I wish I would have inherited some of his good looks, but someone else got it all.





(*In fact, that is how I became so scoldable, you barrage at me...I try very hard not to get upset....but sometimes I fail.)

Answer 4

highly doubt that, too, to be honest with you. Still, I don't live to please them either or I never did live to please them. See, they like my grandmas are dead.
