Do you remember someone who really made a positive impact on your life when you were a child?

My Granny was the coolest person I will ever know. She wasn't a typical granny. She worked for years, and had a seperate checking account from my grandad. She wore pants, painted her nails red, wore red lipstick, permed her hair into this frizzy puff, smoked cigarettes, and drank Old Milwaukee Light. Everybody loved Gran. The thing I remember the most about Gran was how accepting she was of me. She was just Gran, she never made you feel less than what you were. She never spoke a harsh word to me, but I NEVER gave her cause to be angry with me. I just never would have thought to do something to displease her, because she was so accepting. She once told me, when I needed to hear it most, "I love you just the way you are!". And she meant it with all her heart.

Jules Verne. The writer. I loved his books. They taught me about imagination, math, physics, space and just plain fun. They taught me to dream, to explore, to be unafraid of the unknown and how to solve a problem. I still read him today and get new things out his books with every new reading.

I really don't know of any, but after reading your story, I would have loved to have a granny like yours, she sounds like she was fantastic.. I did have a wonderful step-grandmother, but she was nowhere as colorful as yours was..

My grandpa was a gentle man not a gentleman he would not hurt anything and the butterflies lit on his shoulders. he could feed a wild squirrel from his hand and bee swarms lit on his shoulder. he taught me to be kind and compassinate to all
animals and specially to my dog and my cats too. He always
wore overalls and worked really hard on our farm. he was only two years older than my dad. he was my mom's dad. I went to
him with things I would never have gone to with my dad and I knew he loved me and I trusted him. it hurt so much when he died and I could not get to his funeral in time to say goodbye as my folks did not let me know in time. I was in arizona and they all were in 'south Dakota.
