My grand parents were the people who raised me. I am now an adult and I still need them in my everyday life. But they are no more, my grandpa, that I called Papa, passed away 2 weeks ago and I still cannot believe it. We are sometimes so ambitious and busy that we don't take time for our loved ones. I know sometimes it can be tough to listen to the same story several times because somebody is suffering for example from Alzheimers or go twice during one day because he or she forgot to tell you to buy one item at the store. This may be annoying and irritating but, how many times, did Mama n Papa go to the store several times a day because I didn't like a chocolate they just bought me and wanted another one. How may times, I told the same story because I would be so excited I learned something at school and how many times I would wake them up at night because of a nightmare. I would give everything to bring them back, everything! Take time, realize, be happy, be grateful and take time to live and love.

We've all had people in our lives who have made a positive impact on us. A parent or grandparent, a sibling who was there for us, or maybe even just a guy who shines shoes for a living? Whoever they are, tell us their story so they can inspire us even more.
