My Grandfather is the ultimate role model.
He is a published poet and an inspiration to me.
My Grandfather is polite, passionate, and personable.
The first and only time I heard him complain
Was when he was 81 years old
And stated that he didn’t like the hospital food.
I can’t blame him, it’s pretty awful food.
He loves ministering to anyone who will listen.
Especially Hispanics.
He will always remember your name and family.
Unlike a lot of other people
He actually deeply cares.
I strive to be like my Grandfather every day.

My Grandfather is an amazing man. This past summer he got really sick and almost pasted away. Thankfully he is alive and well with us today.
