Recommended: The impact of grandparents in a child's life

The picture that stuck out to me the most was a picture of my grandma from the 1970’s. This picture stuck out because I miss my grandma a lot and it made me think of her and what a difference she's made in my life. It made me remember going to breakfast with her and some of my cousins and then going to church every Sunday. I was so excited at the end of the week because I knew I was going to see her. I can never recall a time when she didn't have the biggest smile on her face. She was the nicest lady you could ever meet. If you needed almost anything, she was more than happy to give that too you, even if she didn't have much of it herself. She always had people staying at her house because she never wanted anyone not to have a place to stay.

    My mom was the most sensible and beautiful person I have ever known. She was a statuesque woman with gorgeous, raven- black hair which perfectly bordered her oval shaped face. Her skin resembled that of a porcelain doll, and her voice was like that of an angel. Her perfectly formed, thin, pink lips often spoke of love and motivation. Her strong hands were testimony of the hard work and dedication that she always put forth to keep the farm and family going. Performing above and beyond with every task was how she lived her life; nothing was too small to be done right. As a young, single parent, she worked day and night to keep my sister fed and clothed. After she met my father and had my brother and me, she continued to work tirelessly. This woman was the bond that held my family together, an inspiration to me, and the most influential person in my life.
