I would say that the most important person of 2010, for me was my Grandpa or Papa as us grandkids liked to call him. Only a week into Summer vacation my grandfater died after a 2 and a half year battle of illness. It was very hard on our entire family. Eariler in the year my uncle's family and ours clashed over a difference of opinion about posting "private family buisness" on facebook.
I wish I were making that up, but it's the truth.
Bitter words were exchanged and the fude only weakened my grandfater's health, in my opinion.
I wish I could say that we all came together as a stronger family in the wake of what had happened, but that didn't happen.
However, my mom, dad, and sister; Jenny have become closer as a unit. Jenny and I have made promices to one another that when we are adults, we will never let the same petty problems come between our family's. That is the best way that Jenny and I can honor our grandpa at this point in time.
