Most of us have grandparents, whether paternal or maternal .While I am no exception. My grandparents were the ones who brought up my parents that gave me life, cared and took care of me and I should be grateful to them.

My maternal grandmother’s name is Chong Chow Moi while my maternal grandfather’s name is Lim Seng Tian. According to my mother, in the olden days, my maternal grandmother whom I usually address her as A- Ma was a good mother who took great efforts to bring her children up. In the past, although they weren’t rich, A-Ma went out to be a part-time maid for money. The reason? It was to keep her family alive.

Now, you should be wondering, what is my grandfather (whom I address A-Gong) doing? well, he was a bus conductor, as you know, the people who checks the tickets for bus trips. Together ,they brought my mother and her siblings up. A-Gong passed away when! was in primary 3, while my loving grandmother still carries on doting on my siblings, cousins and I..

Next, I am going to talk about my paternal grandparents. Grandmother (whom I address as nai-nai), Yeo Heok Hoon, and grandfather (whom I address as ye-ye) Tang Yang Tiong. Sad to say, even before I was born, both of them had already departed this world. According to my father, they were also great parents who took great efforts to bring their children up. Being poor, they persevered to keep their family and themselves alive, and I should learn from them.

Other than that, grandmother was also a person with great moral values. If my father or aunts and uncles do anything wrong, they will be reprimanded. While grandfather was a honest and upright hardworking man. He worked extremely hard to keep his family going.

I love and respect my grandparents. I just want to say this to them “Thank you very much”.
