-J, San Francisco
My grandparents are cool people because they’ve always been there for me. They took care of me when I was younger. We’d go on walks throughout the Mission.
If we ran into some of their friends, we’d go eat together, sometimes the McDonalds. I’d get a McGriddle with a hash brown. We’d go to church or out to eat at other places. I’d just be happy when I was with them. They just understood me.
My grandparents are still showing up for me. They still come and visit me here. I feel like they were better grandparents than my parents. My relationship with them is different from their relationship with my mom. They are less strict as grandparents.
My grandmother is a good cook, her pupusas and tamales are amazing.
