Inspired by Heroes - My Grandpa

Austintexas — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:42:42 +0000

This month, for our Inspired by Song! group contest, the theme is “Inspired by Heroes”. It is appropriate in light of the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks tomorrow. For me, September 10th has a very special significance as well. You see, today was my grandfather’s birthday. He passed away over nine years ago, but he would have been 103 years old today.

I wrote a post about him almost one year ago called “What Makes a Man a Real Man? Lessons from my Grandpa” that I would like to share again here, in its entirety. After that, I wrote about the song that I picked. Sorry it’s so long - I have found that when I just provide a link, people usually skim past it. Thanks.

My grandfather passed away in 1999, and I still miss him. He was 93 when he died, so there was no doubt that he lived a “full life”, as people like to say. Simply put, he was one of the greatest men that I have ever known.

This is a picture of him holding me when I was about two years old. It’s faded now, and my mom actually took it to be retouched professionally, because she knows how important it is to me. It is probably my favorite picture from my childhood, because you can see the love he had for me, and me for him.

What was it about him that made him a man of greatness? Was it his money? Hardly. He never had much money, yet he and my grandmother managed to scrape together enough to buy my first two cars for me. He never once complained about money, although in retrospect they were really quite poor by worldly standards. I never even thought about it growing up.

Was it his career that made him a great man? Well, he was already retired when I was born, so I never saw him work for money in the time that I knew him. He was primarily a househusband, as it were. My grandmother worked at a dime store until she was in her late 70’s. He had always worked in manual labor-type jobs. He actually helped to build the old harbor bridge in Corpus Christi, then he worked as an operator for the drawbridge itself. My mom has told me stories of visiting him when she was a kid, and they would fish out of his “office” window.

Was it fame that shaped his greatness? Well, he wasn’t well known outside of his immediate family and a few friends, yet he impacted me in ways that I can’t begin to describe in

the confines of this post.

Was it a strong education that made him so great? Not really. My Grandpa didn’t go beyond the sixth grade in school, but he was an ingenious inventor. He was always coming up with some device to make life a little easier around the house and garage. He was also able to intuit things about his car that mechanics have a tough time with. Honestly, I wish I had learned more in that arena from him (I am not very handy at all).

My grandfather was primarily characterized by his love for us, and by his humility and his strong marriage (64 years). He met my grandmother in November 1934 and they married less than three weeks later, yet I have never seen a marriage as strong as theirs was. He was devoted, loyal, sensitive, funny, and I loved him deeply and dearly. I never felt the generation gap that so often occurs with grandparents, even though we were separated by 65 years.

He used to pick me up from school every day because my mom was working, and we would go to his house and hang out for a few hours until my mom could come pick me up. Usually, he would make me a grilled cheese sandwich and some homemade fries, or maybe some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Sometimes, when I was really lucky, he would make some homemade ice cream, using the old handcrank machine. We would talk and watch TV together, (usually syndicated sitcoms like “Gilligan’s Island”, “Happy Days”, or “Andy Griffith”). He took me to soccer practice, and he was just always there….until the day that he wasn’t anymore.

One of the greatest compliments that I have ever received was when my mother told me that I was just like him. She still tells me that on occasion, probably because she knows that emulating him is a goal that I really aspire to in my own life. At some point, I will probably write about the week that he died, because it was one of the hardest that I have ever experienced, as it coincided with a surgery for my son, who was just five months old at the time. Those days deserve a post of their own.

What made my grandpa such a “real man” in my eyes was the love he shared and the memories he shaped. Since my real father was absent, he filled a huge void and truly helped to mold me into the man I am today. This is true greatness. We are not defined by the amount of money we make or the number of sales we have, but by the legacy we leave behind with our families and friends. I hope I can live my life as he did. He was a real man.

As you can see from my previous post, my grandfather was very important to me and my life.

I was thinking about songs that remind me of him. I could have used “Wind Beneath my Wings” easily here, but I wanted something a little different.

Back in 2003, Luther Vandross released what would become his final CD, “Dance With My Father”. Although I had never purchased anything by Mr. Vandross, the title track hit a place deep within me, so I picked up the CD. Come to think of it, I hardly listened to any of the other songs at all. I came across it the other day when I was cleaning my glove compartment, and I listened to this song again. As always, it managed to elicit tears. There are multiple meanings for me when I hear the lyrics. I hear this song as a father of three trying to create memories with my own children, as a boy who grew up barely knowing his biological father, and as one thankful for the man who stepped in and took my father’s place, my grandpa.

Enough time has passed that I can think of my grandfather without pain, but I truly miss him. I have so many good memories of our time together, and if I am half the man that he was, I am a success. When he passed away, I told my mom that I was never so sure about someone being in heaven as I was about Grandpa.

So much of this song reminds me of our relationship, even though he was in his late 60’s already when my earliest memories were forming of him. He loved to joke around with me, and play with me, and teach me in a quiet way about what integrity means. I never saw him lose his temper unless there was a darn good reason. I just realized that this was a great portrait of “righteous indignation” portrayed in the Bible. Lest you think he was perfect, I should also mention that he was a shameless flirt, and I almost never saw him talking to a younger, attractive woman without a gleam in his eye.

He deeply loved my grandmother, my mom, and me, and he left a real legacy behind with his actions and his simple outlook on life and family.

Here’s the song I have chosen to dedicate to my grandfather on his birthday:

Dubai has a 20-year track record of strong economic growth, infrastructure development and political stability. In the recent years, the city has been a continuous attraction for foreign investors.

The fundamental attributes – geographic, economic and socio-political – provide the drivers for Dubai property demand. A pro-active government continues to offer economic catalysts (i.e. free zones) to corporations to stimulate enterprise, investment and trade as well as continued diversification of economic sectors towards transport & logistics, manufacturing, tourism, healthcare ,media production, construction and finance.

Once regarded as the business hub of the Middle East, Dubai is now known as the international business, and re-export centre. With the increasing number of businesses and multinational companies starting operations in Dubai, the inward migration of professionals and their families is also mounting. The tax-free salary in Dubai is one major attraction for professionals from the world over to relocate to this city. Additionally, it is the wealth of job opportunities and leisure activities that attract foreigners to purchase Dubai properties.

Dubai is politically stable and has a forward-looking, responsive Government with a progressive, pro-business attitude and a highly developed commitment to the private sector. The business friendly regulations and highly favorable tax and customs framework have played a key role in attracting business investment from all over the world in practically every sphere of economic activity. Moreover, consistently strong economic indicators and a relatively low cost work environment have contributed to Dubai’s rapid development and prosperity.

Dubai enjoys truly global connectivity. Its ultra modern airport handles 13.5 million passengers to over 140 destinations annually and its deepwater port has one of the largest throughputs in the world making Dubai, now, the third largest re-export centre in the world serving a massive regional market. Dubai is a modern, safe, multicultural city with state-of-the-art medical, education, entertainment, shopping and sports facilities, and an overabundance of amenities that make for a very high quality of life, Dubai is a city of choice for the modern professional and an ideal location for multinationals to establish a regional presence.

Significant regulatory and structural changes throughout the emirates offer more than sufficient justification for today’s Dubai real estate valuations. The strong fundamental economic environment, the induction of freehold rights, population growth, rapidly growing tourism and hospitality markets and substantial consumer and mortgage loan expansion all support a continuous rise in real estate prices. Without adjusting for the 0% income tax regime in the UAE, which significantly impacts the affordability of real estate, real estate prices per square meter relative to per capita GDP throughout the world prove that the UAE is currently at the low end of the range for real estate prices in countries of similar income levels. The implied trend value for UAE residential Dubai real estate is roughly US $7,200/ sq.m. or 2,500AED/SF average throughout the emirates.

Marble Supply and Construction Providers

pacificbedrock — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:36:00 +0000

Marbles are an important component in real estate construction. Every construction work is imperfect without inclusion of marbles in some most desired portions of buildings. Marble tiles, granite slabs, and other marble components play a very important role in initial decoration of every home, office, residential or commercial property. To get the maximum possible attractive look and feel, one needs to fully utilize the beauty of marbles and other natural stones.

For getting right marble for your construction purposes you need to consult an experienced marble supplier. Not every marble supplier is as experienced as you need. Therefore, before making decision of selecting your marble supplier, take a look at the marble products collection at their store. That will provide you with a fair idea of their reach and expertise in marble product supplies.

Marble suppliers are generally in contact with several marble manufacturers or some of them are marble manufacturer themselves. It’s better if you chose a marble manufacturer cum supplier for your all marble needs for construction purposes. It will keep you less worried for timely delivery of marble slabs, granite tiles, and other decorative marble products.

If you do your market research well, you will most probably end up finding a marble manufacturer, supplier as well as a construction consultant providing all kinds of services related to marble products, their installation, and maintenance for a fixed period of time. Marble consultants can help you in choosing the best textured marbles for your flooring needs. Prefer those suppliers who can provide you supplies of all required marble products, so that you don’t have to run from one supplier to another supplier in order to get all natural stone products ready to complete timely construction.

Even for interior decoration of your home, office or other commercial properties you need to be in touch with your marble supplier. Your interior designer and marble supplier together can make better home decoration plans. A perfect marble supplier can reduce your interior decoration budget to the minimum by providing you an excellent and magnificent look only by using different color or textured marble collection. By using granite slabs in kitchens and bathrooms you can create a different private ambience for you inside your home. You can provide a younger environment to the kid’s room by using perfect shaded marble tiling and flooring.

All these are just some benefits of contacting an experienced marble supplier. You can even have a better experience by working with them. They can provide you better construction experience only by providing their fruitful suggestions and inputs. So, it’s not a bad decision if you have planned to spend some more money on marble products and taking services of a marble construction consultant.

Getting Best Marble Products from Marble Suppliers

pacificbedrock — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:43:55 +0000

Marble decorated homes are the most adorable homes. People love to construct their house with as much possible use of marbles. The use of different variations of marble, granite slabs, and granite counter tops are common in modern homes. They provide better look along with ease of maintenance as the cleaning of marbles floors are easy if compared to normal floorings.

Choosing Best Marble products for Your Home

Choosing the best marble product for your home is not an easy task. One needs to be the master in art of marble identification. Because, identifying marbles has become very tough these days due to abundance of different variety of marbles including natural as well as artificially made marbles. All the knowledge about the attributes and behaviors of marbles are necessary in order to make your selection more accurate and sensible.

Getting Help in Marble Selection

There is enough information available online for marbles. Qualities and attributes of various varieties of marbles can be learnt online.

What to Focus when Buying Marbles

This is again a tough question, because the answer for this question may vary according to the customers. It is always dependent on the type of use, place of use and budget allocated. The most suited marble for one place cannot be suitable for the other. Similarly, the use of marbles in construction of commercial establishments and the personal establishments are different. However, the two most important decision factors are:

1. The color patterns being used,

2. The theme of interior decoration being followed,

3. Personal preferences of customers

In some cases, people prefer having different looks for different portions of same house. So, customer’s preference is the most important factor in making selections.
