Author Topic: My grandpa is 90  (Read 1549 times)

And I am sure proud of him

Here he is with his pipaya tree in Paraguay


Man, he has actually gone through so much in his life.
He had been in filadelfia (the city he grew up in) since it was just being formed. He had faced attacks from the natives. He had been a missionary, going into the thick Paraguayan bush where he preached to the natives. He had even witnessed his best friend killed by a native. It's actually incredible he had survived in Paraguay, let alone with hardly any resources to start a village.
My grandfather has actually dedicated so much to filadelfia. I think there should be a street named for him.
Right now he lives with my grandmother in a house near the edge of filadelfia. He is still an energic guy, even doing pranks once an a while.
I can't speak the language he and the other people there speak (German) but at least I can tell him I love him. I hope he makes it to 100!

what a cool dude.

>90
>still energetic

This changes my mind about wanting to die in my fifties.

Also, your grandpa looks like he kicked some ass back in the day.

My grandpas are passed on now.

I sure do miss them, I wish I did more with them.

My opa actually gave this to me to remember him by



It's a "guampa" cut out of a bull horn. It's a traditional cup for a green tea here called "Yerba". This guampa is actually very old and genuine. My opa said it was made when filadelfia was being formed, so roughly in the 1940s

By kicked ass do you mean he was very aggressive? My opa is actually very calm and neutral. He is like that one guy from Romeo and Juliet that would always settle arguments, cant remember his name.

he is almost a century old
