My Personal Jesus (Person Graf Assignment)

I was listening to the song "Personal Jesus" by Marilyn Manson when I was thinking of who to do this Graf on. Some of the lyrics reminded me of a person in my life who is like a Jesus of sorts to me. Someone who cares, listens to my problems, forgives me for my sins or mistakes of sorts, understands my flaws and still loves me. That person is my grandfather. I've lived with him since I was born because my dad died before I was born and my mum was ofcourse in no emotional or mental state to be able to take care of a child since it happened so soon before I was born. Though she didn't abandon me or anything don't get the wrong idea I love her and talk to her all the time. Though as I grew up my grandpa was always my father figure and always spoiled me but also disciplined me and taught me right from wrong to make sure the spoiling didn't go to my head. Probably 90% of my moral standings and personality comes from my grandpa, everything from my sense of humor to my manners and my morals has been learned from him. There is ofcourse some of that from my genes but that's not what i'm talking about here. My grandpa is probably one of the most unique people I know in this world. I view almost everyone as having one of the seven sins of sorts, most know em, Gluttony, Envy, Lust, Wrath, Avarice, Sloth and Pride. My granpda though I havn't seen any of these in him. He's almost always optimistic seeing the goodside in most everything that happens even where others would get depressed from it. When I have personal problems I can always talk to him about them no matter what they are, he's known about all the things that most parents would punish their children for such as sex, alcohol, and pot. My grandpa didn't punish me though he just talked with me to make sure I keep them in check, he showed faith in me to be responcible and not get addicted or abuse such things, he knew there were more important things in life than experimenting with drugs or having sex as long as I'm responcible about it all. Since he's known though I've given up smoking pot and don't drink alcohol all that much. Though he hasn't only helped me either, when I have friends in trouble whether it be abusive homes or just hard situations he has taken me on half an hour to hour drives to pick them up at 10 or 11 at night so they could stay the night at my home. Though he is careful to not interfere in another family's business also, he makes certain not to cross lines like that. So with all that i've done or havn't done all he's greeted me with is forgivness, love, and wise advice. My grandpa, or "papa" as I call him, is my personal Jesus.
