My Grandg Paragraph

Improved Essays
When I was just a baby, I lived with my grandparents in China. I remember them still young, healthy, and living happy together. Both of my grandparents are very important to me, but my grandpa is the most important person to me in the world. My grandpa’s name is Jiang Qi Ping, everyone calls him Ping, of course I call him grandpa Ping because he is my grandpa. After 14 years, my grandpa passed away from lung cancer. The day after his funeral, my grandma told me that grandpa Ping kept all my letters that I have sent him over all the years when I was in America. I never thought that he would do keep all of my letters, this tells me that we have a strong relationship and he loves me very much.
There are many different lessons that grandpa Ping

Sometimes I would be thinking of my childhood that I had when I was at China. Ever since I moved, my birthday was never celebrated, sometimes by mom would even forget when my birthday is or she would think is another day, other times my parents would just say happy birthday to me and that’s it, no cake, present, or anything at all. I usually get sad but now I am use to it. Sometimes when I get upset I tend to think about the good times I had when my grandparents threw me all of these amazing birthday parties. All my uncles, aunts, and cousins would come and celebrate with us. I remember my grandma would make a cake together for me and sometimes grandpa Ping and I would mess around and put frostings on each other’s faces. It was a really good memory for me to remember. For years now, most of the time when I am at home I was always alone. No matter if it is breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any other time of the day I was always by myself. Because I felt so lonely for years, I like to be left alone and do what I like to do now. For example, during winter break or any other breaks we have, I tend to ignore all my friends and sometimes my family’s messages, calls, or any other things from social media I would always reply their messages or calls the day when we start school. Back then I would never do such a thing, I would always reply their messages or calls immediately because I’m not use to being alone, I always had one of my grandparents or uncles with me. Things hasn’t changed a bit since I moved here, my parents were always busy with work, my sister and I still don’t really talk to each other, and no one is really home most of the time except for me. I should always enjoy the time I spend with some of my family because no one can replace them and recreate the happiness that I had with

    Two of my friends where awake first than I did and I thought that was so funny. We talked for about 10 minutes and I had to go. When I got home I got right onto the chair for my hair and makeup. As I was sat down I saw more and more people going into my house to get ready with me. I had 30 people in the limo with me. I felt like a super star while people are looking at me and taking pictures of me, also with me. When I got to the party I wasn’t the first one there and that surprised me a lot because I thought there was going to be people around 5 but my family was already there. I thought that was amazing of them. For the rest of the day I was having fun, dancing, and eating with all the people that I love. I felt special and amazing. I didn’t felt depressed but I didn’t notice. I danced with my dad and we called that “El Vaile con el papa” and not only did my dad dance with me but also my uncle’s and my grandpa. I felt very emotional while dancing with my grandpa. At 1:00am there was still people at the party and it wasn’t the day of no more.

I remember a lot of memories with Aune she was so much fun to be around when I went to my dad’s house. When I went to my dad’s house we would always have fun together. Me and her would always find something to do. When I went to my dad’s house which was most of the time my uncle Leonard's or Aunes moms house, We would always be with my cousins and we would always be up late.

    I had never been so far away from my family before, and I instantly missed my grandpa. I talked to him every other night about the Dodgers and Lakers. He gave me advice about school and even girls. One morning, I received a call from my dad, and I immediately knew something was up. He told me that my grandpa was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. My entire world was thrown upside down, and I couldn’t believe what I just heard. The time table for him to live could be a matter of months. I felt devastated that I was not there to help him fight his battle with cancer. I started looking though old photos and videos of him, until I stumbled upon the video of him announcing my last at bat. I teared up a little bit and realized that no matter what the circumstance was, his voice would live on forever. He would battle to the very…

Before she met Mark, I would always be watched by my grandparents after school while she worked. With all that time I spent with my grandparents, I grew extremely close to my papa, which is what I call my grandfather. It was him who taught me how to ride a bike, play chess, dribble a basketball, throw a football, and to play soccer. After my mom married Mark, I didn’t spend as much time with my grandparents beside on the weekends. On those weekends, it would be like it has always been between my papa and me.

    My mother was sitting next to me on the phone as she began to cry, I had asked her what was wrong and she quickly told me to go upstairs. I sat in my room and I tried to think of what made her so upset, as I had only seen her cry once before. My curiosity led me back downstairs and once again I asked her what was wrong and she replied this time. She explained to me that two weeks ago my grandfather had suffered a major heart attack and my grandmother just underwent some blood test that came back positive for cancer. My heart became a beaten up ship being anchored down by the sharp feeling of pain as I recalled all of the joyful summer memories in Albania with my grandparents. I remembered our strolls on the beach, my grandmother’s rice pudding after a day out, and my grandfather’s lightheartedness that lit up the room. For the next two weeks I was torn to pieces as I tried to hold onto any and every memory I had as a cried myself to sleep, wondering if I’d ever get to see them and tell them that I loved them ever again. I can connect to the poem The Gift Shop – (For Gord) and the feelings of loss that the narrator is experiencing as I am currently going through a very similar situation. I have the same need to salvage every memory that I can and to prepare myself for the emotional pain associated with losing someone significant in an individual’s…

    I was back in Mexico during Christmas break, to spend time with my family members who live there. I was done eating, so I headed out thanking my grandma for the food. I see my grandpa walk out and head to his bedroom. (Kitchen and the rest of the rooms aren’t connected). He came out a few minutes later and started heading over to me. I said “hi grandpa how's it going”, he responded “ I am good Polito how are you?” “I am okay” I said. He showed me child drawing, wasn’t very good. It was really silly looking. “You made a drawing of me and your grandma when you were a baby” I was filled with awe. I never really would have guessed that my parents or my grandpa would have kept such a silly drawing. My grandpa had kept that drawing for all of this years. I didn’t know what to say, I was filled…

    Thursday, October 8th 2015, started out like any other day. I woke up, went to class, talked with my friends, and so on. It wasn’t until I was on my way to lunch my cousin came up to me and informed me that my great grandpa, Hyrum Watkins Kershaw, had died earlier that day. I didn’t cry upon hearing that he was dead. I simply wasn’t sad. I am not saying that I didn’t love my grandpa, but he was of the age where he was no longer happy. He weighed only 67 pounds and couldn’t really move much without help anymore. He had lived a long life having died at 93 years old. He was also lonely having his loving wife die 18 years earlier. It was simply time for him to go.

    We finished the party with cake and ice cream. My mom didn’t want my clothes to get ruined so she took off my clothes and sat me in the highchair. When my dad brought the cake over and sat it in front of me everyone started to sing “Happy Birthday day to you, Happy Birthday to you.” I dug into my cake, it tasted even better than the one I ate earlier. I didn’t eat very much of it because I was full from all the other food still and I just wanted to take a nap. I was so tired that every time I tried to take a step to play with my friends, I fell…

I was learnt many skills like how to speak with stranger, drive a car a… and all of them are helpful to me now. In the walking line on the street form my school to my house, it is twilight with purple cloud, he walked near me and murmured: “From today, you are a man now. Whatever you do, we will love you. We will miss you and want you to pay us a visit. But if you don’t, it is still alright. We want nothing from you, just be happy son.”. All those words are like his last lullaby for me, and it was the best kind of thing that father can give his son. My mother nearly cried after hearing that. Mournful fall was so peaceful to be like my mind. Leaves were falling and carried by the wind to touch the gray road. After that, we said nothing and just walked and enjoyed the time together.

    I put on pants but didn 't have time to change my pajama shirt. I quickly brushed my teeth all the while thinking, what happened to my brother? She started panicking; I kept my questions to myself. I got to school and jumped out of the car as quickly as I could. I started getting extremely nervous. I could feel that something was wrong. I went to all my classes with no new of the occurring events. I couldn’t concentrate and all I could think about was if I had lost a family member. I remember going to recess and sitting next to my friend on the swings like we always did. We were usually laughing and talking rapidly to each other, but today I just sat and stared blankly at the sky. when he asked me what was wrong I said, “I don 't know but something bad is going on.” I told him about my brother’s call and my mother’s reaction. He said to calm down and think positively, “what 's the worst that could happen.” I couldn 't get myself into listening to him. I kept thinking of who might have gotten hurt or died and how my life would change. At that time recess was over and we were heading back to our classes. I went to my locker; then to my class. Right when I sat down,…
