grandmother
she is the most amazing woman i have ever encountered. the perfect home-maker. the wonderful pillar which the whole family hinges on. the role model. the epitome of female submissiveness (my grandfater is an egoistic ass who gets his way all the time) and yet has unyielding tenacity. if she was born in another time, she would have made it so much further in life. unfortunately, her incredible memory is tasked with remebering all her children's and grandchildren's birthdays and favourite food; her easy-going nature serves to alleviate petty domestic conflicts; her mighty intellect spent on discussing current affair issues with us.
this woman has never graduated past pri four. yet speaks more languages and dialects than me, has betterr people's skills than me, definitely wiser and forever respected. if we switched places, she'd have thrived being her and i'd have died being me. life is so unfair. she could have been so much more. even though she is very successful in her own right. regretfully, i dont show that i love her enough.
so this is for her.
