Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy

It is not just because of the cooking.

Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy
Andreas Fanos

I have always been a grandma's boy for as long as I can remember. She has been my lifeline and support for all of my life. She has done a lot for me and I never know how I can ever repay her back for everything she has done for me. There are many reasons why my grandma is the best grandma in the world and why I am a grandma's boy.

I am very close to my grandparents because my father was not around much growing up. I was around my grandparents the most, even more than my own mother I would say at times. Not to take away anything from my own mother, but I do love my grandparents the most, especially my grandmother. One reason I love my grandmother is because of the amazing cooking that she does for me. Anything I could want, for the most part, she will cook very well, whether it is lasagna or chicken or beef.

But I also love my grandma the most because of everything she has done for me. My grandma outwardly spoils me. When I was growing up, my mother worked a lot and she would drop me off at my grandparents' home quite often to be taken care of. My grandma took care of me, clothed me, kept a roof over my head, and consoled me. The person she cares most for is me. She will not even think of herself, thinking about me over her.

Another reason I am a grandma's boy is because she understands me the most. She is the one to get my mother off my back and to calm me down. A lot of the times my mother will say no for me to get something, and she will say yes. My grandma also has a good sense of humor. She is able to crack funny jokes about my grandpa or anything in general. She understands me even more than my mother at times. She has a lot of patience and is always understanding my problems. My grandma also gives good advice and most of the time it works when I listen. Whether it was advice about girls or school or anything else.

Another reason I respect and love my grandma is because of the hard work she has done in her life and raising a family. My grandma worked hard coming from Greece to America working first in a factory to working at Shoprite later down the line for many years. My grandmother worked her way up through society having nothing at first and now in present time having a home and all. My grandparents really are the embodiment of the American Dream. My grandma also has a lot of wisdom along with my grandpa. They also have many unique and interesting stories to tell.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
