[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandpa mentored an immigrant that he met by chance in the 1970s. The guy had no friends or family in the states, was homeless, and no job. My grandpa got him 2 jobs- one FT with benefits and a second after hours gig, invited him to all of the family holidays, set him up with housing assistance, would drop off meals and baked goods and garden veggies and flowers from my grandma.

The guy got prostate cancer about 10 years ago and towards the end him and grandpa spent a ton of time together. The guy never married or had kids. I guess at one point my grandpa mentioned that his (grandpa's) biggest regret in life is not accumulating enough to leave his grandkids anything in his will. The guy split his own will 6 ways among my cousins and I in honor of my grandpa. We each got a little over $50k.

My grandpa is still an 89yo cool dude, still living alone and mentoring, who my 3yo and 6yo daughters adore and ask to go see all the time.[/quote]

Your grandpa sounds like an amazing man!  [/quote]
