and i thought to myself... i love these ladies. they are they greatest examples i have in this life. they are beautiful and sweet, are wonderful wives and mothers, they serve those around them and yet can act like the biggest goofball 13 year old girls or dirty old sailors (hehehehe) all at once. i hope i can be as cool as them someday.
they are truly my idols

| Linda and a few of my sisters |
But. on top of the wonderful women in my life. i have some pretty swell guys in my life too. one in particular is my grandpa. he is my hero. in everyting i do, he's always been a fan. he wants me and all his family and everyone around him to succeed. he strives everyday to be better. and without a doubt that guy definitly has a ticket to the celestial kingdom. he's a champion.
back to the story though.. that night while all of us girls were hootin and hollerin he was servin us drinks and bein a gentleman. then, so subtly, without anyone noticing, he came up behind me, slipped a nicely numbered green bill in my lap and whispered "just a little gas money to get you back to school." kissed my head and left us girls to go do some reading. giving. if i could describe my grandpa in a word it would definitly be: giving. he's so selfless. plus he's the coolest. all the little primary girls and boys want to be his best friend.
