If I could be like anybody, I would wish to become more like my late grandfather, whose memories have inspired me to strive for success, like the smell of old, dusty books which reminds me of his admiration on learning. An avid collector, he had many books, most of which went unread. He owned books on everything from medicine to Spain, to several sets of encyclopedias. After he faced health problems, he came less to the library and read fewer books. They became just part of the scenery, collecting only dust and memories. I have read a few now, after he is gone, and each time it brings back a hurt like a sore that refuses to heal. But I suppose it is a quest of sorts, because if can take on his thirst for knowledge, cheerful smile, and willingness to help others, then like a match in the darkness, I will bring a little light into the world. If that light touches others, maybe it will spread far and wide, to light up the heavens for years to come. It is exactly the reason why Jabil Al- Aaruq (Al- Aruq Mountain), near Taiz holds a great deal of memories that are very special to me. One of the other fond memories is, when I was a little boy, my father used to tell me about my grandfather, who treated people, especially very poor people with sympathy and compassion. He would often go out of his way to provide assistance and support to the needy in the village. People in the village still recall his kindness and politeness with praises and blessings.
The house that my Grandfather built in our village (Karad) is also very special because I feel I am a part of it. The house represents where I come from and our first asset that my family ever owned.

hii frnd......
My Grandfather, although he moved around a lot when he was a kid, grew up fairly well. He has lived in California, Texas, Wisconsin and many others. He traveled to many places because of his first career.
Grandpa was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He lived there for the first three months of his life. He then moved to Texas where he lived in the suburbs of Dallas. He then moved to California and moved back to Texas to live with his grandparents for times when his mother couldn't have him stay with her. His mother married a man named John and they moved to New Mexico. There he lived on a dude ranch his step-father was building, and he got to ride horses a lot. His chores there were to strip trees to help build buildings, and he took care of the horses. He later did chores around the house. He moved out of New Mexico after John got killed by lightning. They lived in the poor part of the city. The thing he remembers most about his mother is that she was a free spirit. His dad left when he was three because he couldn't take care of any one, not even himself. He recalled that John told lots of tall stories; something that grandpa does often.
Hope it's help you!!
