The Impact Of My Grandfather's Impact On My Life

Has God ever given you a mission? Has life ever been so hard, but you find the light to make it better for everyone? My Grandparents have always had a huge impact on my life and are very important to me. There has been ups and downs throughout the years but it is all for the better.
