Family

Hands of the old man and a young woman. close up.

A very important person in my life was my grandfather, Gregor. He was my friend, he was my teacher, and he was a very educated person. He taught me history. He was the school director for 20 years. He loved his family very much, especially his wife, beautiful Anna. Anna was also a teacher.

My grandfather was a very nice person, to me and to everyone he knew. He knew full well what a man should be like. My grandfather was a very sympathetic and graceful man. We both have birthdays on February 23rd. I was his favorite granddaughter. He taught me in life that I was strong and purposeful. He wanted me to be a successful woman, and with his guidance, I was very successful in my country.

When I moved to Canada, I had to start my life all over again. I know he would be even more proud of me. He died at the age of 87. I miss him very much.
