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.
