My Morrie is my Nana ; Mor she is always giving and thinking about others .
Like Morrie my Nana has lost a step but it makes it even easier to interact with her . My Nana has a wise tongue , with a wise tongue comes wise words and a lot of times those words aren ’ t appreciated , but as I ’ ve gotten older I have really listened to her and appreciated her company .
When my Nana is at home I am an adult , who is respected as one , 3 kids and a dog is no easy task to handle and , when my parents are away my Nana makes sure we ’ re taken care of , she is 71 years old and still takes care of not only herself but others .
My Nana doesn ’ t get paid to teach and care for our family , she does it because she wants us to thrive and be successful responsible individuals . I try hard to make my Nana proud , and love the feeling that there is someone who cares for me . My Nana went from a huge nice house that had a finished basement , pool , and a view , to a smaller house that already had five
people and a dog , where she has to cook a lot even when she doesn ’ t have to just to relieve some of the stress from my parents rigorous work schedules .
My Nana has helped me appreciate how privileged I am and has showed me how t look at life in a positive way , I always try and remember that life could be a lot worse and everybody has struggles they must overcome . My Nana has work many jobs and has put her hard work into everything she does so , I try to take her examples and apply to my own life to make me and others around me happy .
