Everyday, we get the chance to meet people, get along with them and reach out to them. However, I believe that each one of us has someone he/she looks as model/idol/inspiration. Someone, we regard to be what we want to be in our lives. Someone who has influenced us and had made a mark in our lives. Be it a family member, a neighbor, a friend, a celebrity, a politician or whoever. But we look up to hat person with high regards. Personally, my grandmother is the most influential person in my life. She was there through out my growing years. I saw how she took care each of the family members. She dedicated her life to Grandpa and their children. I grew up that my mother and father are away because their work. So I and my brothers grew up surrounded by my grandparents. Up to now, I still live with the teachings of grandma. She taught me to believe in myself and never doubt on the great things that I can do. She opened me to the world of music. She taught me that no one could ever do. But the greatest thing she ever taught me is to live with God. Keep my faith in him. And live as children of God.

I looked at your grandma's photo. I'll bet she was very pretty in her youth. I too hold my grandmother, God bless her soul, in the highest regard. She was looked to as the strong one in the family, and yet I credit her with whatever is gentle and nurturing in me.
