“MY GRANDFATHER LOLO”
There are too many important people in my life: my mom, my dad my sister and closer friends but the most important of all of them is my grandfather “LOLO”. In this essay I will show you some characteristics that makes my grandfather so special to me, some aspects about his personality and I will describe why I consider him my “hero” .
J. Dolores Meza Donato was born in a very small ranch called “La Mesilla”; He is the oldest son in a family of 10 people. Since he was a little boy he started to work at any job that he could find because his family did not have money; for that reason he never studied in a real school but that was not an obstacle for him because he knew how to survive in a society that regret the people that does not have any academic knowledge. When he was 18 years old he met my grandmother “Vicky” and they got married, they had 14 children and the only important job that they had together was making traditional Mexican candies such as sombrillas, muelas, camote, dulce de leche, jamonsillos etc… He never learned how to write and read, but he is very smart, he can make mathematic formulas very quickly in his mind and he did all the things that he wanted to do in his life. Nowadays he has a grocery and he feels very comfortable with his job.
Like all the people, he has positives aspects: he is an active worker, also he is a very friendly and popular in his neighborhood. He is always smiling and that makes that the people that spend time with him feel comfortable and very open to talk with him about anything; he also has negative aspects; for example he is a very stubborn person and he does not like that any person say things that makes him angry (like everybody).
My relationship with him is very close because our personalities are similar and since I was born he said that I was just like him, I am the person who cares the most for him. I love him very much and about all his grandsons he said that I am his favorite one.
My grandfather made a lot of things in his life (good and bad) and I think that I see him like a “model to follow” because he never cares about the expectations that people have about him, he did whatever he wanted and he lives his life happy and surrounded of people that like him, I love him and I do not know what am I going to do the day that I will not have him anymore.
