Ode to Grandpa

Grandpa lived a great 82 years. Had a total of 8 daughters and 1 adopted son, countless grandchildren and 4 wives (2 passed away, 1 he divorced and 1 being my grandma) in his lifetime. Even tho he was pretty stingy and strict with his own children when they were younger, he was very well adored by all his grandchildren (often we would fight for his attention). He was very generous with his love with us... always bringing us fruits all the way from his old farm even then when he was ill. A funny man with lots of great stories to share. Being a religious man, he was wise, often encouraging us to study hard (he loves maths, enjoyed testing our knowledge of time table) and think of God. He achieved a lot in his 82 years too (i think). A nice farm (which will now disappear with time), three houses ( 2 of which he built for his children), a cow farm (which is now no more), a good retirement from his police job and several trips to Mekkah (not many elderly have such an opportunity!). The memory of this wonderful lively man will forever be in our hearts.

May God have mercy on his soul.
Rest in peace Grandpa!
