To Those of Us Born 1930 - 1979
#14
One of the people I idolize the most is my grandfather....he is a WWII and Korean vet....worked until he was in his late 60's, provided well for his family, would greet everyone he saw in public but then tell someone how it was if he felt disrepected....he was from the mold that work came first and then you enjoy your time. Many times he had me mow his yard, trim his bushes, etc... and it took me a while to understand the reasoning but he was teaching me responsibility. To this day, even though he is close to being fully blind, he doesn't allow anyone to help him. My mother and wife say that I will be just like him when I reach his age, I take that as a compliment and high honor. They do not make them like him anymore.
