My Grandmother

In chapter 14 I read that families are most likely closer to the mother’s side of the family then to the father’s side. This is also true in my family. My mother’s side always gets together for almost every holiday and I see my father’s side maybe once a year. Also my father’s family lives in another state about 8 hours away, and my mother’s side lives only about 45min. away. Now that I go to school and live here in Lincoln I have become closer to my grandma (on my mother’s side) because she lives in the same town.
I also read that grandmas are more likely to become closer to their granddaughters then their grandsons. This is totally the case in my family. I think know this information from this chapter will benefit me a lot, especially the parts about how grandparents help their grandchildren and how grandchildren can help their grandparents. Knowing this information can make me a better family member.
