Person+in+My+Life+that+Perserved

A personal story of perseverance to me is my grandfather, Benjamin Nelson. In 2005 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My grandfather was probably the least scared or unsure of the family. He went on with his regular life playing his favorite sport, golf. My grandfather did everything the doctors said but knew nothing productive would happen if he didn’t stay in the word a God. He fought the good fight of faith will quoting scriptures constantly, reading the word, and praying. He continued this for years and never lost his stamina. When the summer a 2008 came everything was fine but the cancer suddenly took a turn for the worst. My grandfather didn’t change his routine he continued to praise the Lord. The whole family prayed with him that everything would be okay. It was like any other Tuesday, September 9, 2008 when I went over my grandparent’s house to catch the bus to go to school. I remember that day like it was yesterday being called down to the office and knowing what had happened. That was the day my grandfather passed away, and it was never the same again. Today my grandmother and family continue to persevere with the lost, knowing we will see him again.
