He lives in his house with his wife, but almost all their daughers and their son live very close. Now he is retired so he stays at home.

He loves to work in his house, he loves to plants so he has a garden where he digs up tomatoes and other vegetables, andi his wife prepare delicious dishes with them. He likes to exercise and to spend time taking care of his plants and animals, he has some rabbits. He likes to share with his famiy, he also likes listening music andd to play the guitar, he used to have a group when he was young.

He is a very generous person, when he was young he used to work in a factory, so he traveled around the country; and working very hard he coul give to his family a good life style.

I admire him because besides of being muy gradfather is an extraordinary man, I love him a lot, I really admire him because he has responsble, he has tought us values and what the real meaning of a family is. I also admire him because he is sensitive.

Because of him I have learned that life is hard and that we have to work a lof if we want to get what we want. I just love him the way he is, because he has showed me that he realy loves all the members of our family.
