Bompa
My Bompa inspires me in a way that feels different from anyone else in my life. He has this gentle strength about him,like he’s lived enough life to understand what really matters, but he never makes a big deal about it. Just being around him makes me want to slow down, appreciate things more, and carry myself with the same quiet confidence he does. One of my favorite things about our relationship is how he always makes me feel special. No matter how old I get, he still looks at me like I’m the same little kid he used to spoil with treats and stories. Whether we’re talking about something serious or just joking around, he has a way of making me feel like I’m important, like I’m someone worth listening to.
I’ve always admired how hard he’s worked throughout his life. He’s been through so much, but instead of letting it make him bitter or tired, it made him wise. Even now, when he tells me stories, I can hear how much heart he put into everything he’s ever done. It inspires me to work hard, not just for myself, but for the people I love,just like he always has.Some of the moments that shaped our relationship the most are the quiet ones. Sitting next to him while he talks, listening to his advice, or even just enjoying the silence, those times mean more to me than he probably knows.
