Their Story is My Story

This is me.

And this is my grandfather, Manolo.

Born in Sevilla, Spain in the year 1942,

he knew from a very young age

that he wanted to be a dental technician.

If you're wondering what that is,

well,

he made dentures.

He was a man determined.

He studied hard and started his dentistry

which would later become

the family business.

But that is not all.

My grandfather was well known

for his generosity.

Despite having six children

to take care of and feed,

he would often help other

struggling families.

He would anonymously buy them food

and pay their bills.

Often form his own pocket.

I remember he would take me

to football matches almost every weekend.

He was the one that made me

a football fanatic.

It is an honour to be part of his family.

Thanks to him,

I know that one of the keys to happiness

in this life, is to put others

before yourself.
