GRANDPARENTS FROM OUR GUESTBOOK

My hero is my grandfather. He always helps others and never thinks of himself first. He works on a program called Meals on Wheels. It brings breakfast, lunch, and dinner to old people who can't get out because they're too weak. He is also very generous towards my sister, cousin, and me. He helps fix things around my house and other peoples houses for free. He owns a lot of land which he also owns houses on. If the people who live in the house pay the rent a little late he doesn't make them pay extra. He understands that money was low that month and that they would pay it back when they had more money. He is very considerate. When I grow up I want to be just like him.

My hero is my Grammy, Helen Pratley. She is respectful and yet strong. Two years ago she almost lost her leg. She had a four inch long hole in her leg that didn't heal because she is a diabetic. It finally healed and she is now O.K. She will also be good to my family. She might take us out to lunch or breakfast if we are off in school or on vacation. I also love her very, very much. My Grammy will also help people that live around her. She will take a friend to the doctor or grocery store if they need to go. She is respectful and strong and my hero that I love very much.

My hero is Robert C. Price. Robert C. Price is my grandfather who passed away in 1986. the reason he is my hero is because he exemplified the word courage and dignity, and his family always came first. He battled diabetes until his body could not with stand the strain of this dreadful disease. Yet, he never let it get in the way of the love he had for his family. I look upon him as my hero because he not only loved me but showed me how to be a quality human being through action and behavior. He showed me, through his actions, about courage and that you never give up no matter what the circumstances, and that there are times when you don't feel like doing something but it is the right thing to do anyway My papa is my hero because he loved and still loves me today. I will carry on the examples of his legacy and create my own while keeping one thing in mind. And that is to love God, love your family and lead by example. Miss you and Love you Pops, Heath

My hero is my grandmother because she has survived so much and is still alive and well at 80. She has a positive outlook on things too. She is a holocaust survivor of World War 2 and was in the concentration camp Bergen-Belson, and her entire family perished. She came to the USA by herself, married, had 2 kids, and lived the American Dream. She then had breast cancer twice, and my grandpa died of a heart attack 25 years ago. She also has diabetes and has to live with tattoos from the war every day. She doesn't let her misfortunes interfere with her life anymore, and she travels and experiences life to the fullest. She pulled up from being poor when she came to this country, and after being very wealthy in Germany before the war. She is wonderful, and I love her very much

My hero is my grandmother. She is my hero because she is always there to cheer me on, push me forward, and give me lessons on self-control. I have learned a lot from her, and I would like to say, I LOVE YOU GRANDMA SHIRLEY!

My hero is: my grandpa. because he is smart, he loves me no matter what, he always listens, even if it is not good he says I did it, but most all because no matter what I do wrong or right he is always trying to help me to improve in it so I can be my best and help my kids also because he made my papa.

My hero is my dad. I think a hero is someone that you respect and is always there for you in good times and also bad times. My hero is my dad because he does a lot for me. Even when I get mad at him he still does things for me. My dad risked his life for me lots of times and saved my life and always took care of me when I had cuts or I was sick. That's why I think my dad's my hero. When my dad reads this I want him to know that I love him. I think that there should be more heroes like that.

My hero is my grandmother because she saved my sister and me when we were abandoned by our heroin-addicted teenage "mother". She (and my grandfather) took us in and loved us. She led a life of bitterness because of so many obstacles that she could not find her way around. She and her sisters were forced to quit school before finishing Jr. high, so that the two boys in the family could graduate from high school. She was extremely intelligent, and this hurt her greatly. She worked hard all of her life and to have to suddenly care for two small children (one handicapped and one out of control--we were abused by our drug-addicted "mother"), was a great sacrifice. I would not be alive today if it were not for her, and I could never have cared for my own daughter properly without her as a model. She was a strong, intelligent, poor, uneducated woman, tied to the kitchen, unknown, unsung, but never, ever, forgotten by me for her courage, bravery, love and tenderness.

My hero is Eva Gladys Deckard-Moat. Eva Moat is my hero because she made my childhood something that I could look back upon and remember fondly. She encouraged me and the other grandchildren to believe in miracles, magic and ourselves simply by loving us and offering us a chance to escape some of the less "enchanting" realities that creep into our lives. Grandma Eva would have wonderful outdoor "suppers" during the hot Indiana August days, and she would decorate her home almost to the point that adults would say it was in poor taste, but we loved her home and we loved her. We loved spending the night and staying up late eating ice cream and popcorn and watching monster movies. We loved going for walks and hearing talk of the "olden days" when grandma was a girl. Even now as Eva is crippled by arthritis and her mind clouded by a recent stroke, her smile and unconditional love helps me through. My visits to Grandma Eva aren't so much for her as for me, so that I can become more focused and centered, and remember who it is I am.

My Hero is my grandma. She is my hero because she works very hard. She designed jackets, sweatshirts, and shirts for me. She is quite artistic and paints on clothes. She is a loving, CARING person and a great grandma. I love her with all my heart and that is why she is my hero.

My hero is my Grandpa. He immigrated, built big company with sweat of brow, had nine wonderful kids and still thrives and dreams and loves and is still young at heart

Harold Kaser, my grandfather is my hero because when he was very young his father died and he had to become the man of the house. He had to look after his little brother and his mother. He then went to college and became a wonderful minister. He has taught many people how to be a good person and how to overcome your obstacles.

My hero is my grandpa, Nate Cerniglia. He is my hero because he had to go to a school with all the grades in one classroom; it was very hard for him. He came from Sicily and he has two brothers. He could only go to school until he was in the seventh grade because he had to go to work for his family. When he was seventeen he joined the Air Force, along with his two brothers, and fought in the Second World War. I think he is praiseworthy for all the things he has had to go through and the sacrifices he had to make. He should be respected because he is honest and admirable. My grandpa is the greatest.

My hero is my grandfather. Although he died when I wasn't born yet, I can see him in pictures. I know that he was very kind and friendly. I know about him from my grandmother and he always gave clothes to the poor people and tried to help people answer questions"
