“Remember the best of those who have passed.” Those who have left us must not go in vain; they must be remembered for everything good they had done in the past: memories, morals; these must not go forgotten when one exits this world. Not only can I say that I have remembered a great man for the many, incredible memories, but I have carried on his legacy through his teachings and his great influence on me. This was a man with a heart of gold, a laugh that could light up a room, a man with a personality as sweet as candy. This was a brave man, a man who traveled by boat and escaped the terrors of the Vietnam War, while getting airplane tickets for his family to escape the battleground ahead of time. This man, who put his family, his loved ones first over anything, was my grandpa, my “Gong Gong.” Although I was just 7 when he passed, his incredible influence on my life causes me to think of him everyday.
As a young six year old, I did not have many friends, for I had not attended school yet; as a result, I was extremely attached to my loving family. However my mom’s father, my grandfather, was one of the most incredible people I had ever met. When we were first introduced, we had a certain connection. As I talked to him, his constant chatter lit up the room with an amiable atmosphere, with constant joking and laughter. From our first meeting, we became incredibly close and I instantly trusted him with everything, from my everyday school day to my fears and dreams. The more I saw him, the more I longed to talk to him more and more.
