My grandmother's name is Lindsay Jackson she is currently 68. Her maiden name is Campbell and she was married four times and finally settled on Jackson when her late husband and her separated. She lived in Beverly Hills most of her life and has one younger sister named Candie. She is still in contact with her sister but they live far away now so they connect by long phone calls weekly. My grandmother left home when she was 16 because of family troubles and lived on her own or with friends; she then began working and putting herself through college and then became a real estate agent. She loved her work and became very well known in Southern California, Beverly Hills and Brent wood where she ended up living. My grandma eventually became apart of AA; which is alcoholic anonymous a safe place where you learn to detox and become sober once more. She is now 33 years sober and is a sponsor for many people helping them to gain a better perspective on life besides drowning your sorrows. She met her first husband before AA and had two lovely children and then after her husband gambling the money away and leaving she decided to become sober. This led to her meeting years down the line the husband which she has now before they recently separated last year due to family tensions.
When my grandmother was young she loved to play volleyball and went to the beach almost every day to play. Later on she rode horses, did bare back, and even performed with them in shows. She became a great performer and loved the experience until she felt she got too old to continue.
My grandmother today loves to go shopping and spend time with her many grandchildren. She is full of life and her message to the younger generations out there is don't be afraid to be different. To try out and do things that you want to do and life your youth to the fullest. Don't worry about what your hair looks like or how many friends you have just try to be happy because that is the only thing no one can take away from you.
