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

    When you said this, where you referring to just not wanting to know your birthday or was it a foreshadow of something else? Later in the chapter Frederick writes about how there were many rumors how his master, the slave owner under he lived in, was also his father. As a child, Frederick must have isolated himself from wanting to know any actual facts, because he knew he would be unhappy with the truth.

    Pain can be as simple as a paper cut or a bleeding scar, but at the same time it is the monster that eats an individual up inside, keeping them up at night and asking them questions that they wish they only knew the answers to. It questions their every decision and thought similar to a nagging mother paired with an untidy room. There are multiple aspects of pain both physical and emotional that each has their own distinctive impacts on an individual’s life. The pain associated with the loss of someone significant is the worst of all; the feeling of emptiness in an individual’s hands when they try to hold onto them for a moment longer as they slip through their fingers is unlike any other. In Gift Shop – (For Gord), Shane Koyczan wants the reader…

    I spent many hours after school sitting in the sparsely active cafeteria, while she served the students with a smile on her face. My Grandma was a kind, selfless woman who would never let you go hungry. She instilled in me how important it is to take care of the people around you, so that when you are in need, they will take care of you. It’s cliche, I know, but the world truly did lose a great human being. After her passing, My Mimi, who is my father’s grandmother, took me in and supplied me everything I needed to succeed in life.…
