My Afternoon With Grampy

If I could spend the day with anyone it would be my grampy Williams. The reason why I would like to spend the afternoon with him is because he died almost nine years ago, I miss hanging out with him. He was a really sweat and loving man and that’s what I miss about him the most.

The things that I would talk to him about would be what I want to do with my life. I would also talk to him about how much I miss him playing his guitar and singing for me. I would talk to him about his great- granddaughter Brooklynn, and how much she looks like Johnathon my older brother. I would tell him about his little Gatiorbate (Desiraia) my younger sister and how big she has gotten. I would also talk to him about how much I miss going down Ingonish in the summer to visit him and my nanny. The last thing we would talk about is his old horse and his life Seira.

This afternoon would make feel happy, because I never got to say good-bye and how much I loved him. I know he would be proud of me for trying to achieve my goals and I know he is looking down from heaven with a big smile on his face.
