Hey Robert, I can totally help you out because my grandma was the woman who raise me. My mom had me when she was 17. She wasn't able to take care of herself let along a baby. My biological father split when he heard the news so my mom was alone. It was the gentleman who took me in as his son's mom that raised me. To this day I don't think she knows that i'm not her blood grandson, but if she does know, she doesn't care. My grandma is a souther gal. Raised in Georgia during a time of high racial tension she adopted a live on attitude. She taght me everything I know. How to be a gentleman, who to make gold out of dirt. She really pushed my education which impacted me a lot. Although she only had a 4th grade education, she had enough wisdom to help me with anything & everything she could. If she couldn't help me, she found someone that could. My whole foundation comes from my grand parents. I was raised with an old spirit. Helping others is what i got from my grandma. Being a man is what i got from my grandpa. Putting them together gave you the product of what i am today. I owe everything to my grandma. A women as strong as her can change the world. She changed mine...
