My Grandmother

       by Trent Cathey


       Gay Martin, my grandmother, is the most valuable person in my whole life! She talks to me when I’m
       hurting or having a problem.  You just couldn’t imagine anyone like her.  She has helped me in so many
       hard situations.  My granny is very cheerful, and she’s usually happy, and she is loving and caring.  She
       is currently working hard to provide for me and my dad (who helps her) by sewing.  She works from
       home with my dad. She is the most important person to me.

                                        My granny and grandpa have always influenced me.  Whether it’s baking pies and rosettes or working at
                                        the dairy, my granny and grandpa are always good influences.  My granny is always finding ways to have
                                        fun and educate me.  She shows me how to bake, play piano, and decorate.  She is always finding ways to
                                        have fun also.  Grandpa teaches me different ways to paint, barbecue and build.  He finds things in their
                                        town to help out with all the time.  I love you Granny and Grandpa.  You are amazing.

      my behavior even when I got to second grade.
      She knew something was wrong, and she could
      tell I had anger issues.  So, I started getting to                                    Christ the King
