Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy

It is not just because of the cooking.

Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy
Andreas Fanos

I have always been a grandma's boy for as long as I can remember. She has been my lifeline and support for all of my life. She has done a lot for me and I never know how I can ever repay her back for everything she has done for me. There are many reasons why my grandma is the best grandma in the world and why I am a grandma's boy.

I am very close to my grandparents because my father was not around much growing up. I was around my grandparents the most, even more than my own mother I would say at times. Not to take away anything from my own mother, but I do love my grandparents the most, especially my grandmother. One reason I love my grandmother is because of the amazing cooking that she does for me. Anything I could want, for the most part, she will cook very well, whether it is lasagna or chicken or beef.

But I also love my grandma the most because of everything she has done for me. My grandma outwardly spoils me. When I was growing up, my mother worked a lot and she would drop me off at my grandparents' home quite often to be taken care of. My grandma took care of me, clothed me, kept a roof over my head, and consoled me. The person she cares most for is me. She will not even think of herself, thinking about me over her.

Another reason I am a grandma's boy is because she understands me the most. She is the one to get my mother off my back and to calm me down. A lot of the times my mother will say no for me to get something, and she will say yes. My grandma also has a good sense of humor. She is able to crack funny jokes about my grandpa or anything in general. She understands me even more than my mother at times. She has a lot of patience and is always understanding my problems. My grandma also gives good advice and most of the time it works when I listen. Whether it was advice about girls or school or anything else.

Another reason I respect and love my grandma is because of the hard work she has done in her life and raising a family. My grandma worked hard coming from Greece to America working first in a factory to working at Shoprite later down the line for many years. My grandmother worked her way up through society having nothing at first and now in present time having a home and all. My grandparents really are the embodiment of the American Dream. My grandma also has a lot of wisdom along with my grandpa. They also have many unique and interesting stories to tell.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
