MY TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDMA

Growing up as a child, I use to visit my grandma with my parents, although I was not really brought up by her. When I became a grown up, I then started to visit her myself more regularly. I spent only a little time with my grandma because we lived in a city far away from where she was staying; we only visited during Christmas periods. I have come to know what a lovely woman she is. I am honored to get to say a few words about my grandmother. She was an outgoing and fun-loving woman who enjoyed the company of her friends and family. Grandma was someone who doesn’t discriminate between her grandchildren. 

Grandma treated all her grandchildren with the same amount of love and care not minding whether we were from rich or poor homes. Grandma understood that life is beyond the now. Hence, she always advised us to desist from wrong habits and to do only what was right. Grandma was a great cook. We always enjoyed her delicious meals whenever we visited. Grandma wouldn’t bear watching us stay hungry. Never!!! She would do everything possible to make sure you have more than enough to eat.

My grandma was a disciplinarian, who never spared the rod. That although was for our own good. She would always correct us in a way she felt was best for us.

Grandma was a very hard working woman. She believed in hard work and taught us how to be hard working.  

Grandma had a beautiful heart. She loved God and loved people. She would do everything to bring all her family together and establish peace among all family members. If only all grandmas would be like her, then grandchildren would live never to forget their grandmas.

I thank God for giving us such a wonderful grandma. Though you are gone, you will never be forgotten.

With love from my heart, I say Adieu (Goodbye) grandma. Till we meet again on the other side of eternity.

Your granddaughter,
