My Grandparents by Royce Nadar
August 1, 2021
Throughout the years, I'd listen to conversations between classmates in my school about their grandparents. Most of their grandfathers or grandmothers has passed away when they were very small or around the time of their birth. I didn't realize it at the time but later I would understand the value of having spent time with them, as well as the knowledge that they passed on to me along with their love. My grandfather always had a kind heart that was generous and full of giving to others and those around him. Spending summers in India, my parents would usually leave the house leaving me and my sister with our grandparents. It seemed like every time my grandfather would spend with us, it was to learn about math skills, problems and tricks. I found it tiresome as well as my sister but my grandfather's love language was through his math that he taught which was hard to see at that time. He helped so many students that were around him through his actions as a math tutor blessing those around him with his talent. My grandfather created a legacy that will never fade and till this day inspires me to create a legacy like his. My grandmother's love language however was through her actions. She would treat me like I was her own child displaying her love in the phone calls that were year round long. Sometimes I wish that she would treat me as an adult, but her love for me remained the same regardless of my age. Before I could create memories, my grandmother was taking care of me since I was baby when my mom stepped out of the house coming out of her comfort zone by travelling from India to Hong Kong. Both my Mai and Papa (Grandmother and Grandfather) have created memories for me as well as others and although they are not with us on this earth, their actions will be remembered by those that they loved and helped throughout the years.
