Have any relatives that make you laugh, that give you that smile that says, you know what, your not perfect, but hell if I'll let anyone tell you that.
Give them some introduction to us, tell us about them, and what makes them so special to you.
Me.....My Grandpa Agustine.
He's from Texas, the biggot towns that few people visit, he is a bit predgidous himself but tends to live and let live. He now lives in Brawley with most of his family, but still misses his Dusty, oil rig filled homestate. Having to leave School at about, 3rd or 5th grade to help support his family, he has knowledge that few people of my generation cherish, or even care about.
he is a Korean War Veteran, Frontline Infantry, who has seen enough death and destruction for a lifetime,  Hes told me stories (when He wants to) that would chill you to the bone. Yet he still manages to keep that Old Grandpa Feeling around with him.
Ive walked in on him crying, and whenever I ask why he always has his Military Pictures with him in this old Bible, He doesnt like to talk about it.
He has stated, and I quote, "Mijo, your going to be a great man someday, your going to do great things, hopefullly I'll be around to see it." I'll carry his words with me even after he breathes his last.
He stands at 6'4 and is about 74, 75, and refuses to lay down and be forgotten. His Legacy to me, will always be his promise to Give me my first shave (which I am still postponing for some reason). He is one of the Greatest People alive in my eyes, having lived through one world war, fought in one of the Cold War's Hot ones, and worked and struggled his entire life to provide for his family.
I love him with all my heart, cuz, hes my Grandpa Tex.
