Greetings friends and welcome to my blog, where I have shared my opinion on the contest organized by @saintkelvin17
What do you understand by the word Grandfather?
The word grandfather simply refers to the father of our mother or father. Grandfather can either be the father to one's father or the father to one's mother, and all these are definitions of the word grandfather.
Is your grandfather still alive, if no, tell us what led to his death, if yes, tell us how he's doing.
My grandfather is not alive anymore, in fact, I never got the opportunity to see him even as a child, this is because he died even before I was born, I only heard a few stories about him when he was alive.
According to my dad, his father died while he was in primary school, and I never asked him many questions about his father because he was still a kid when he lost his father.
My grandfather from my mummy's side, who is my mum's father was still alive while my mum was growing up, although he did not leave for long, and from the story my mum told us she said he was really sick and she does not know the name of the sickness because it was many different sickness combined,
She said he was very sick and the sickness took a long term and after everything they did to help him survive was vanity upon vanity, I remember she also said that his head was covered with wounds including his face, this story really hurt me a lot and sometimes I do not want to talk more about my grandfather.
Is there an old man in your neighborhood? Tell us about him as well.
Yes, there is an old man in my neighborhood the old man is my friend's grandfather, he is a very nice and friendly old man that really loves to play with everyone, especially with children, he does not care if you are related to him or not he will always treat you like his own flesh and blood.
Although, sometimes the old man drinks alcohol and gets really high, when he comes back from taking his alcohol he will start talking out of points and making us laugh which makes me feel as if he is my grandfather.
I have always wished that my grandparents were still alive so that I could also get the opportunity to see and feel the love of my grandfather just like my friends, sometimes all my friends will be talking about their grandfather while I don't have anything to say about mine and it hurts a lot.
Tell us about the best advice you have received from an old man.
I have heard some advice from old men, especially from my friend's grandfather that always play with us.
The first advice I can still remember is to live a simple life
Another one is that I should not try to please anyone, but live a life that people will remember even if I am dead*
