Eulogy For Grandma
Playing the board game Sorry with my grandmother and sister, I draw a seven and knock both of my grandmother’s pieces off the board. “You’re just vicious”, she alleged in a joking voice. As unimportant as that day might’ve been, I know that not all people would even play the board game with their grandchildren. Sue Straw was born on August 11, 1958. She had eight siblings, and she would give birth to my mother on March 19, 1978. My Grandma is special to me because she is generous, dependable, and loving. The generosity of my grandmother, better known as Granny to my sister and I, has been shown in many ways. First, Granny is willing to take off work for an extended period of time when we need watched over. My parents travelled on an Alaskan cruise not too long ago, and she took care of us for around a week. Also, Granny has shown her generosity by almost always having a snack of some kind for my sister or I. Most commonly, we are granted the gift of freshly picked raspberries from her garden, which I have learned are delicious. Another act of generosity occurred at a soccer tournament in Ottawa-Glandorf. Granny provided a ton of food for our family to eat between soccer games, including my favorite, bacon! My grandmother is one of the most generous people I know, and I hope I can learn to care …show more content…
First, she always manages to obtain a great present for any holidays. Even if small, a bag of bacon jerky or some candy on occasion is always treasured. Also, she constantly puts my sister and I before herself. If Granny is ever watching over my sister and I, she always asks what we want to do before all else. Another example of how loving she is, how she attempts to do what is fun for us when we are with her. Even if Granny struggles to perform well in darts or Dodgeball, she participates with us either way. I wish that I can eventually learn to be as loving as Granny

    While watching the Four Little Girls, I could see and understand better what was liked to live while the segregation still existed. In this movie, it showed through how many things black/colored people had to get thought. President Obama talked about how church was their safe place in their community. In this eulogy, Mr. President focused himself on how the church was the “African-American life center,” it was the “Hush Harbor,” were many people (colored) gathered and practiced their beliefs and how many things were offered and promised to them, yet not receiving it. This movie shows all of these statements made above, it shows how the grace it’s given, yet misleader by many, specially whites in this movie. I say this, because…

    Even to this day, I don't know how my grandma had so much love for someone who she could barely remember. Yet, since my grandma's condition was bad I naturally helped out my family with my great grandma. I would bring in and out sodas for her since she had a mad addiction to the fizzy drink, and sometimes I would bring her hot meals. Even though doing all of that was great, my favorite thing to do for her was to keep her company. On the most beautiful of days, we would go out and sit on the neon yellow swing set in front of our house in early afternoons when the leaves were turning a beautiful shade of brown and the weather was just the right temperature. The wind sang alluring songs in your ears as the branches of the lush trees danced to the melody. I can picture it just like it was yesterday. The pond next to us glimmered a light blue color as the swing squeaked in glee. She would sing the same tune each time and i would drift into a world of peace and tranquility where nothing else mattered at that moment. But as a little girl, I took those special moments for granted. I was too oblivious to know that good things don't last forever, they never…

    Grandmas, the ones that cook for you and give you candy are the ones that love you for who you are and let you get away with things they wouldn't let their own kids get away with. Some grandmas can't even walk when they get up in age, but then there are some like mine who at the age of 83 are doing things other 83 years olds don't and shouldn't be doing. Most people would expect an 83 year old grandma to be knitting, light cooking, playing bingo and slowly walking her way to church. Not my grandmother, you can find her climbing on ladders, fixing fans, constantly moving, driving big pick-up trucks, all while looking like she is going to the social club.…

    Eulogy For Husband

    The main thing that I dislike about this story is Joe tossing money through the house at Missy May like she is a hungry dog waiting for him to come, and the presents that he has for her in his pockets are like dog treats something that you would have for a dog that is jumping around you that’s glad that you are home. This story is so condescending for women. However, in 1933 women were to be the homemakers of humanity and that was their mentality, cooking, cleaning, and making themselves look beautiful for their husband. Nonetheless, I think that Joe got just what he deserved. He is the one that brought another person into their relationship, if he had of had a man crush on Slemmons none of this would have…

They’re the people that sometimes place their hands on your heart and refuse to remove it till the lesson you need is learned, regardless of if they are still there.

    Mrs. Mallard Eulogy

    • 352 Words
    • 1 Page

    Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…

    Its august 23, 2002, my husband forgot our anniversary. The whole day, no call or text from him. When he came home that night the way he acted, I knew he forgot. Maybe it slipped his mind? Even though it might have slipped his mind, it still hurts that he forgot. It was disappointing that he wouldn't remember our anniversary. It breaks my heart that he said absolutely nothing about today, maybe he had a long day at work. Maybe we've had so many anniversaries that this one didn't mean as much to him so he didn't care. All these questions in my head slowly brought me to tears , only God knew how much I wanted to cry , and eventually I did , that night as we lay down in bed together , so close , but yet so far apart . August 23, a day that meant so much to me, I now had a sense of resentment in my heart. Our Marriage has just taken a turn, for the worst.…

    His name was Bradley Tolman. He was born on March 21, 1998 in Madison Memorial Hospital, in the city of Rexburg, Idaho. As a child Brad was an extremely hilarious kid, he was always smiling and laughing. There was always one thing about him that he would always do, he tied his blanket around his neck like a cape, and put on a pair of sunglasses, ran around the house saying “I’m Batman”. He would save people from the bad guys. Then there was this time when he wanted his mom to cut his hair right before school; because he wanted to go to school with his hair short. It was about time the bus should have been coming to pick them up. He really wanted his hair cut so much that he ran into the house, grabbed his dad’s electric razor,…
