My Grandfather Was an Amazing Man By Eric
Basic Literacy, 1st year have always respected my grandfather Benny. He was a righteous man with a big heart. His given name was Benjamin, the Biblical name of Jacob’s youngest descendant. I will always be grateful for him and his wisdom. While my grandfather was alive, he taught me to respect life. When we spent our time together, we had good conversations. I know that he loved God. My grandfather always told me that God was very important. Because he served his country, I have a lot of love for him. As a result of his service in the military as a combat engineer, he received the Purple Heart because he was injured in battle. He also received a 100% pension. His family was well taken care of. His brother was a military man as well who was separated from my grandfather as a kid when their parents were divorced. They met back up by chance while they were serving in Europe in World War II. When my grandfather was in his 90’s, he called me when he needed help at his house. For example, he called me to apply a clear coat on the exposed wood of his car-
port. He lived until he was 100 years old, and in his last years he lost his oldest daughter, my mother, who was a very important part of his life. My grandfather truly was an amazing man. wood and leaves.
