My grandpa was the smartest man I've ever known. He tried to educate me on many things. One of them was the stock market. I always half listened to him. I never thought I was smart enough to understand the stock market so I never tried. I guess he thought I was smart enough or he wouldn't have wasted his time.
My grandpa helped raise me. He taught me values. He put me through college. He gave my mom and I a condo to live in, in a nice neighborhood in the best school district. He was serious but could still tell the funniest stories you'd ever hear. He spent his whole life doing for others. He quit school and went to work to help raise his 6 brothers and sisters when his father abandoned the family.
Every day I got home from elementary school, my grandpa was there to get me. So I didn't have to go to daycare until my mom got off work. That's what a grandparent should be. That's the kind of grandparent I will be.
