My Great Grandmother (My mother)
My Great Grandmother (My mother)

My hero is my great grandmother. When people tell me about her and what she has done in life I feel like I really know her. She died when I was younger. Some days I feel like she is in me and she has my back if anything happens to me. My great grandmother knows everything before anyone would tell her. She would just wait until they told her instead of them hiding it from her. My mother tells me things that I never knew that her grandmother told her. I really wish i was able to see her before she died.

She is my hero because she was there with my mother before she had me. My mother did not know she was pregnant with me and one day my great grandmother asked my mother if she was pregnant. My mother said that is why I was coming to you. Between when my mother was pregnant and the time she gave birth to me she died. I hear a lot of stories about her and it makes me happy because I get to know my great grandmother more.

She just did what she had to do to support her family. She was very loving and caring. She's from Germany. I think her father was in the army in Haiti. That's how she met grandpa. She was a very hard worker, never complained.
