Lauren Calvin

My grandfather was the best thing in my life and many others. He was not only a great leader he was a great man,he put his mind into things. He gave his heart and soul to his work. But not only that he was a dedicated husband and father. My family was very lucky to have a man like him in our lives. He always put others before himself, I know he always wanted the best for us. Though he is gone and missed very much. He left something very special instored in us,morals and values,that he imput into his children and grandchildren. My grandfather never got mad or never told you what to do he always let you decide what was right,but he always lead you in the right direction. To my family I would like to say, My life has changed since grandpa has died. I have made a lot of wrong mistake but I have woke up and looked in the mirror and saw the person I have became wasn't what I wanted or the type of person grandpa would have liked to see me as. I am changing slowly but for him. I loved him with all my heart and soul. I has been hard for me since he has passed away. I have let you guys down. I pray every night you guys can forgive. I would just like to say to my cousin's think of what grandpa is sayin right now, I love everyone of you Snook,Pumkin,Tiger,Squirt,Tuffy,J.B.,and Buddy.Keep him in your hearts always.
