ONE GRATEFUL
GRANDSON!
I AM ONE VERY GRATEFUL
GRANDSON WHO WAS
RAISED BY A
LOVING
GRANDFATHER
AND
GRANDMOTHER.
TOGETHER THEY WERE HUGE
ASSETS IN MY LIFE.
GROWING
UP IN THEIR
PRESENCE THEY
SURROUNDED ME
WITH TOOLS TO OBTAIN
MORALS AND VALUES
TO FULLY EQUIPT. ME INTO
WHO I AM AS A
GROWN MAN.
I AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD A GRANDFATHER WHO-
⦁ 1) TAUGHT ME HOW TO
WALK WITH TRUTH AND TALK WITH
SELF -RESPECT.
THESE VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS
TRAINED ME TO IMPROVE DAILY
ON MYSELF AND RESPECT OTHERS WHO RESPECT COMMON VALUES.
⦁ 2) MY GRAND "POPPA"
I CALLED HIM, TOLD ME WHEN I WAS REAL LITTLE, HE WAS NOT ABOUT "RAISING
ANY PUNK ASS" CHILDREN AND TRAINED ME TO STAND UP FOR WHAT HOLDS TRUTH.
THIS WAS THE INNER STRENGTH THAT INSPIRED ME
TO CONTINUE GROWING INTO A MAN OF PURPOSE AND I KNOW MY GRANDFATHER
WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS.
⦁ 2) I AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD
AMAZING GRANDMOTHER. "MOM".
⦁ SHE TAUGHT ME TO SELF-EVALUATE DAILY.
1) MY "MOM" VALUED CONSISTENCY, AND TRUTHFULNESS AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO EMBRACE THIS ENERGY WITH ALL MY MIGHT.
A-)WHEN MY "POPA" PASSED ON,
MY GRAND "MOM" TOOK
THE COMMAND CHAIR
RESPECTFULLY
CONTINUED MY WISDOM TRAINING.
MY GRANDMA "MOM" HAD QUICK HANDS TOO, ALL STRAIGHT FLURRIES WHEN
I STEPPED OUT OF LINE.
B-) BY SHARING HER VIRTUOUS WISDOM, MY LITTLE LIFE PUZZLES FOUND SOLUTIONS THAT INSPIRED MY THOUGHTS TO MOVE
FORWARD
KEEPING MY MINDSET TOGETHER.
C-) WHEN I WAS SLIPPING INTO THE STREETS OF DARKNESS.
MY " MOM" WOULD SIMPLE SAY A LIFE LESSON
QUOTES THAT REDIRECTED MY THOUGHTS
WITH POSITIVE LIVING ENERGY. I STILL LIVE BY THOSE DAILY POSITIVE WORDS TODAY.
B-) MY " MOM" CONTINUED TO SHOP AND PROVIDE HEALTHY MEALS FOR THE FAMILY EVEN WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH MY REBELLIOUS TEEN YEARS MY "MOM" SHOWED NO LESS LOVE FOR ME.
I KNOW NOW THAT TYPE OF
LOVING CARE IS TRULY AUTHENTIC.
BOTH MY GRANDPARENTS HAVE
TRANSCENDED ON AND YES I MISS THEM DEARLY.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THEY DIDN'T
"RAISE NO PUNK BUTT" HERE. LORL.
NOW IT'S MY TURN TO BE THE GRATEFUL PARENT AND A GRANDPARENT
WHO CONTINUES TO PASS THAT
UNIQUE
"GRANDPARENT ENERGY"
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE EXPERIENCED SO
THEIR LEGACY
STAY'S STRONG!
P.S. THANK YOU
"POPPA AND MOM"
I CAN STILL HEAR YOU!
