The Most Unforgettable Person I Have Ever Met

             In my eyes , my grandmother will always be the most wonderful, patient, irreplaceable, and unforgettable person that I have ever met. Grandma, who was a unique person in all senses, also had a unique name. Her name was Visilia. We used to called her Mama Vashi because she was a caring, loving, and beautiful person, but Mama Vashi was not only beautiful on the outside, but also inside. She had the biggest heart that a person can have.
             I remember grandma was always willing to help everybody who needed her, even after having her hands full with twelve children and many, many grandchildren. She always found time to help and listen to others. She always said, "There is a solution to every problem," and "The only thing we can not do anything about is death." When a problem arises, we have to see all of our options to find the best solution for that problem, and never run from it. Grandma had a lot of sayings. One of her favorites was " Do everything from your heart and don't expect anything in return." Grandma had a little store where she used to sell fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, and other things. I remember the time when a woman walked into the store with her little son, and all she was doing was looking and looking around. The woman looked like she didn't know what she wanted; but grandma knew better, and she asked the woman if there was something she could help her with. The woman replied, "What can I buy with this little bit of money?" Grandma answered, not much, but take what ever your family needs, and just pay me later. I will write it on the payment plan book. And, with tears on her eyes, she said thank you many times to grandma. Then, the woman picked what she needed and left. Grandma with her kindness taught me a lot through out the years. Another of grandma sayings was, " We always have to keep a smile in our face, for it will keep us young."
