I have a grandmother who lives in my old house. She's about 80 years old and a truly kind and humble person. I used to visit her in La Dai with my parents. We would go see her during our one-week holiday breaks. I always enjoyed spending time with her. She would often give me gifts, like money or blessings. My grandmother lives with three other family members, and they all seem to get along well. They often talk about how kind, humble, and caring she is, especially towards her grandchildren. They say she misses me a lot. There are many reasons why I love my grandmother. She's humble, caring, and always puts others before herself. She's a true inspiration to me.
