My grandparents are Isabella and Randy. These two amazing and significant individuals have been around me my entire life. I say they are amazing because they have been with me through my ups and downs.
When I got locked up, they were one of the very few who actually wrote me and wanted to talk to me. They made me so happy to have them around. I thank them for giving me the best life they could give to me. I have learned that I appreciate and respect them with my entire being. They are one of the happiest things I have in life.
My grandparents have played one of the biggest roles in my beginning stages of life. I see so many people in here who do not have a good relationship with their family. For some, not even one family member is around. I am truly thankful to my family. I do not think, I would have made it this far on my own.
Father’s day is coming and I want my grandfather to know that I love and miss him so much. When I get out and I can’t wait to visit him and help him every time that I can. The four things he told me to remember were family, religion, no drugs and no tattoos. Some of the best advice anybody could give me.
I want my family to know that I will always be with them and help in any way possible. I will get to see my grandpa and grandma tomorrow and I can’t wait. They bring me up when I feel down and vice versa.
I have grown so much in the past few years. I love my family. They inspire me to do good and reach past my limitations. They’ve also been getting stronger as well. I’m glad to have a family that has loved, supported and given me as much as they can.
Thank you all for letting me see the light. I couldn’t believe my own eyes when I finally started appreciating my family. It has become the biggest help I have ever received. They are happy for me, and I am happy for them. They raised a good and reliable family.
I can’t wait to be with them again. Happy Father’s Day Grandpa! Have fun zip lining!
