name the person who influenced you the most growing up & why.

my grandma.
i was very lucky growing up b/c i had two moms. my mom (whom i LOVE more than the moon). and my gradma. she was an amazing woman. she never backed down, was smart, funny and wasn't not one to be messed with. we were a team. she taught me so much, not just bookwise, but common sense wise. tonight i made my mom and i our own thanksgiving dinner, just how my grandma taught me. i never thought that we could miss anyone more than her. i feel her around a lot, but not a day goes by that my mom and i don't mention her. she was our everything.

my grandpa was pretty awesome too. he died when i was three, but i remember how much he loved me. he loved me enough to visit me after he died, just to say good-bye.
