If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?
If i could meet anyone, i would meet my grandfather. He died two months before my brother. The way that everyone in my family speaks of him, he was a wonderful person and i wish i had been able to meet him. He was said to be the most gentle giant. If you were to do something bad, just a look would make you cry because you knew you disappointed him. He would tell you how beautiful you looked every day. He would drop everything he was doing at the drop of a hat just to help a neighbor. His family meant everything to him, and you had better not hurt them, because he would make you apologize because you just felt sorry.
All in all i feel like it would be wonderful to be a person like him, having the same respect demanded, expected, and recieved. I want a family who will go to the ends of the earth to make me feel better, nurse me when I'm sick, hold my hand when i get bad news. I want the love that this man had, and still has to this day.
I feel like in the whole perspective of things, my father has that same kind of life going for him. He is much more aggressive, but the same kind of principle applies to him. I know he cares about my family and I over everything else in this world. There is nothing more important to him than our safety and happiness.
In a way i have gotten to meet my grandfather. I may not have the actual memories with him, but what I do have is the stories my mother, grandmother, uncles, and friends of the family have told me.
