Grandma, after having raised her six children,unselfishly took the responsibility of being guardian to her five grand-daughters.Grandma was illiterate and worked as a Domestic Maid to compliment the family income.Although poor, she provided us with love in abundance and shaped our lives in a safe,loving environment,together with our uncles and aunts.Our grand-parents taught us values through devotion which was a key factor in our upbringing.They turned us into fine adults.I say “Hooray “ to grand-parents.показать меньше
