Cody's grandma is pretty cool. She is just so kind and nice. Grandma Gallas and her husband love is so strong. She loved him very much because she can choose to remarry but she did not. She continue to live alone with her awesome garden that her husband build for her. Cody's grandpa died in his garden. He died where he loved and this is just so cool. Grandma Gallas still remember everything about her husband ex. how they met, how they got in love, and his personality. She still looks at his picture all the time. Cody's grandpa is a wise man and cared his wife very much because he left enough money for her and a cool house with his lovely garden. She still wore the watch that her husband gave to her and its quite expensive too.
Grandma Gallas was Cody’s best friend. She made Cody a young man. She told Cody about her life with her husband and even taught Cody how to dance. She was always there when Cody was facing emotional problems. She was not like other old women who just sit and sleep everyday. She was very active, energetic and funny. They spent their time together. She also inspired him. She always encourage him to keep working on his craft which is his artwork. She always praised him for his arts. Cody was a great grandson. He loved his grandmother’s personality. Both of them really loved each other. When his grandma died, Cody was so sad. He also told his grandma after she died that he would never sell his grandmother’s house. It will always be theirs. This shows that he loved his grandmother.
I have a very strong relationship with my grandma. I always go to her house every week and every long not only to play basketball but to eat he awesome food that she made for me. In the last few years I told her to only make me healthy food. She was upset that she can't make her food that she wants all the time but she understands because she loved me very much.

The romance between grandma and grandpa Gallas was simply the common example of a perfect love-life couple of the olden days and even in the present. The fact that grandpa Gallas changed his mind from a man who would do anything to help the country into a man who would do anything to help his love one, became a romance to remember. Grandma still remember all the things she did with grandpa as if ii happened yesterday indicates how romantic they were. She's the one who vivified Cody once again with the activities she used to share with Grandpa Cody such as dancing. She's the one who pulled Cody out of a dead end, and showed him the path where he could be and where he can always look up to. I mentioned about the feeling of sorrow in the first chapter Q&A, it's only a few month since i lost my grandma. She meant everything to me, and also the one who kept me in the right path. She was a like my mother, asking about my life every single day although we have some difficulties of communication because of the difference in languages but it's here who understand my feelings since i was born.

Cody’s grandma still miss grandpa from the part where cody and his grandma dance together and cody say that grandma probably think she is dancing with grandpa because grandma told cody that grandpa danced with grandma everynight when he was still alive. Grandpa was the one who fall in love first in this relationship after grandpa saw grandma dancing so grandpa started to write grandma letters which didn’t talk about the war but instead about their future after the war. Because of grandma is the only relative Cody left with, everything in Cody life is about grandma. Cody also brightens up grandma life because without Cody, grandma will be left alone in her small house. Cody is able to remain strong after his parents’ death because of grandma’s supports and love for Cody. From Cody's point of view, grandma seems to be independent, happy, sweet, kind, cheerful, and gentle. The part that is very touching for me is when Cody see his grandma in his mind and know that she is about to leave him, but Cody didn't stop his grandma because deeply inside he know that grandma will be happier to meet with grandpa in heaven. This show that Cody truly loves his grandma, and want her to be happy.
I didn't have much bond with my grandpa but i'm very close to my grandma because she was the one who in charge of take caring me. My grandma enjoys cooking so i will always serve with yummy dishes. All my childhood's flashbacks will have her in it because she was everywhere with me. I really loves her and want her to become healthier because she is getting older and older.

Cody went to live with his grandmother after the complicated experience in his life, when his parents died. Grandma Gallas was the only relative he had; she is cheerful and beautiful woman. She told Cody how she met his grandfather, but Cody never met his grandfather. His grandmother complimented Cody by saying he shared his grandfather’s calm, demeanor, good nature, and uncanny patience nurturing. Aside for being a good dancer grandma likes to read books and she translated it into words because some of the words were very hard. I can say that grandma had a very romantic relationship with her husband that most of the couples wanted to have. Since the first day they met each other, grandma told Cody that grandfather barrowed money from his fellows so he could dance with her all night. Also, when grandpa went to war, he always wrote a letter to grandma, however he never spoke of the horrors of war, but he described their future days. I think that grandfather really loves grandma because he didn’t want grandma to think much and worry about him during he was at the war. Grandma waited and they got married after grandpa returned from Europe. After grandpa retired, he was working in the garden and he died between his two prize rose. Even though grandpa died but I am sure that grandma will love and remember him forever. She always cried at the first spring bloom of every year because she thinks about grandpa. I can say that their romance was amazing. Their love is unconditional and eternal. Codys’ relationship with his grandma was very admiring. Grandma loves Cody as much as Cody loves her. She was everything to Cody and is the only relative that Cody has left. She helps him to understand that he should never give up. She keeps him all up in his time of hardships and makes him laugh whenever he is sad Grandma and Cody had a lot of great and amazing time together. But suddenly another tragedy happened in Cody’s life when his grandmother died. Cody was extremely sad and cried a lot. I pity Cody a lot because he is just about almost teenagers and he had to face many tragedies like this. Imagine if you have no parents and relative left, it would be very bad. My grandmother died since I was young and I didn’t really spend much time with her. My house was in Bangkok but my grandma’s house was at the other province. It took time for my family to travel there in order to visit her so we visited her like two times a month. Every time when I went to her house I just played around with my brother. My grandma can’t walk because she had an accident and furthermore she had about two or three health problems. As she gets older her health become weaker and weaker, my family needed to move her to stay at the hospital in Bangkok. She had some health problem that after that she couldn’t speak but other thing was still normal. My grandma stayed at the hospital for about two years which was quite long and I visited her almost every day during my holiday. But at last, it finally came to the day when the doctors try to help her but she wouldn’t wake up any more. My mother was extremely sad and I was quite shock. Even though I didn’t know much at that time but I felt very sad and want her to live longer than this.

Grandmother Gallas lost her husband at some point before the story has begun but she did tell her romance to Cody. When I was reading it, I thought of an old romantic couple accompany with a classical ballroom song in a big old city. In general, her romance is kind of old school romance where people are in love by a first look and try as many ways as they can to meet the person they like which is rarely hard to find nowadays. Also her romance with her husband is a real love story like in the movie which we can't see it nowadays, when her husband court her while he's dancing with her which is also very classic. Moreover, her husband swear to her that he will come back after the war after the war and she does wait, this is some romance which we can't find nowadays because we no longer have any wars. In my opinion, her romance with her husband is a true romance because there is no chicanery in their love and they both end up dying at the old age which is a good ending.
Grandmother Gallas see Cody as a her husband's replacement but she can't love him as a husband because she is his grandmother. I consider their relationship as a teacher and a student, from the point that grandmother Gallas teaches Cody many things and passes down her own experience to Cody. Whatever, their romance can be considered as a mother and a son also because she is very close to Cody. When I first read about this, I think their romance can be describe as a couple when they are dancing and Cody ask for more. I don't really know what love is but whatever they are doing is rarely hard to see nowadays because kids nowadays are likely to play games and spend time with their friends. So they relationship is totally different.
Grandmother Gallas is a lovely, energetic and optimistic woman. She is also romantic with her husband and Cody. Although she is at golden age but she still acts like she is about 30 or 40 which is rarely hard to find in the real world. She is a true lover because she tells her romance with her husband to Cody although her husband died along time ago. She is energetic because she is capable of dancing with her grandson although she is quite old now. She is also funny and creative as she calls Cody "Bulls" according to his deep and croak voice.
I don't live with my grandparents usually. But my grandfather always tell me that he loves me the most even more than my father because it is a nature of Chinese to love the first born son. Same as my great-grandfather he loves my father more than my grandfather. he always tell me to do good to my parents only the occasional days same with other elders. He also teaches me a lot of things when we have time together. Sometimes we can't understand each other because of the gap between age. For my grandmother, she is a religious woman. She often talk with me but not as much as my relative brother. I don't have much relationship with her.

Grandfather Gallas was a soldier during the big war while Grandmother Gallas was a dime-a-whirl dancer during the big war. Grandfather Gallas always borrow money from his friends so that he could buy a roll of tickets to dance with Grandma all night. He used to believe in dying a hero in war, but things changed after he met Grandma. After he fell in love with her, he only wish that she will be waiting for him when war is over. He often sent her letters. None of them were about the horror at war but about the glorious days in the future that they will be having together. They married three weeks after Grandpa returned from Europe. Nothing had ever seperated them but death when grandpa was 53 years old. Grandpa died when he was working in the garden, doing what he loved.
Grandmother Gallas and Cody's relationship was magnificent. Grandma would always tell her fascinating stories and life experiences to Cody. She was funny, always energetic, and beautiful. When they lived together, Cody would often dance with his grandmother. It was one of the fun activities they had together other than reading and gardening. Her dance steps were graceful and smooth that Cody would always be longing for one more round of dance. Grandma had told him that he shared his grandfather's calm, demeanor, good nature, and uncanny patience. They also shared blue-green eyes and slim nose. This was probably another reason why grandma love him so much. It is because she feels like Grandpa Gallas's blood runs in Cody's body. Grandmother Gallas has an everlasting love for Grandfather Gallas. Even he died years ago, she still think of him and cried at the first spring bloom of every year missing the presence of her love. One day it was time when Grand could go live another life with Grandpa. Cody is now the only one left in the family. The unpleasant experience of the lost of his parents and his grandmother had gave him an embitterment and a scar on his heart.
I live with my grandparents since I was born. When I was younger, my grandparents were the ones who babysit me. I could say that I have a very strong bonds with the two of them. My grandma would send me to school and pick me up everyday. She would always make my favorite dishes for dinner and sew me nice clothes. I see her charming smile every time I complimented her about her dishes or when she talks about her old stories. My grandfather loved to tell me stories about his cool life. He lived during world war and that he had to evacuate to so many countries and ended up in Thailand. Seldom I would learn Chinese from him. My grandparents' love story was totally different from the Gallas grandparent's. They had a blind marriage. But that doesn't matter because they love each other so much that they've lived together for almost 70 years now! I may say that I've got the best grandparents on earth. I wish that I could become young again, so I could live with them longer.

After the tragic death of Cody's parents, Cody went on to live with his grandma named Gallas. Grandma Gallas was very funny and energetic as claimed by Cody in the book. Grandma Gallas is a very lovely lady and she took care of Cody very well. Grandma Gallas taught Cody how to dance to a German Waltz which signifies her love towards her grandson. She learned the German Waltz dancing style by being a dime-a-whirl dancer during WWII. Also, that's where she met her husband who was a soldier fighting in WWII. The relationship between Grandma Gallas and her husband was very passionate. They loved each other very much. Unfortunately, Grandma Gallas' husband had to go fight the war. Both of them stayed in touch with each other by sending letters. Grandma's husband never talked about the war but instead talked about his future with Grandma Gallas. Luckily, Grandma's husband survived the war and lived with Grandma Gallas happily ever after.
My relationship with my grandparents is very good. They taught me a lot of important things such as being a good person and helping other people. When I was a kid, I met them everyday because my parents would drop me off with my grandparents before going to work. Practically saying, I was raised by my grandparents. Also, my inspiration for playing golf came from my grandfather. When I was 6 years old, my grandfather gave me a golf club. My love for golf started at that moment. I continued on playing golf since then. If it weren't for my grandparents golf wouldn't be in my dictionary. Therefore, I am very grateful that I have a good relationship with them.

The title name “A Grandmother’s Love” suits the best for this chapter. She had a close and touching relationship with her husband. They met while she was a dancer. It was cute when her husband would borrow others’ money to get Cody’s grandmother to dance with him the whole night even though the song has ended. Also, it gave the readers feeling of romance when Cody’s grandfather always belief that his wife will always be waiting for him after the war. He is a positive-minded man. He looked forward to the future rather than describing how horror the war was. The relationship between Cody’s grandmother and her husband can be described as everlasting.
I know about Cody’s grandfather because of her grandma always tell him the story of his grandpa, which is why I described their love as everlasting. Another relationship that appears in this chapter is Cody and his grandma. It was, again, a loving and caring relationship. He stayed with his grandma in Colorado. Her grandma is everything to him. Also ,he is everything to his grandma. They always dance together. Cody knew his grandma well through her sparkling eyes that remind Cody of her husband. Cody is similar to his grandpa. He always arranged flowers on the table every morning. They often had dinner outside in the restaurants. It’s really good to have time to enjoy and cherish with family member. However, I was too young to remember on the memories I had with my grandma. Basically, I can’t remember anything so it was sometimes confusing for me when people talk about grandparents because I didn’t have the chance to stay with them.

After a traumatic tragedy of Cody's parents, he went to live with his grandmother, Gallas. She was a generous, kind, enthusiastic lady. She sheltered him, read bedtime stories to him at night, taught him to dance, and others stuffs that portrayed her image as an equivalence of Cody's second parent. With such commitment, Cody's sorrowfulness was substituted with Gallas' warmth and love. Thus, this could be said that his grandmother was basically a second of figure of Cody's hope in his life.
Cody's grandmother's romantic relationship with her husband was very interesting and inspiring. From the beginning, Gallas met with her husband during WWII. Gallas was a dime-a-whirl dancer while her husband was a soldier who was driven with patriotism. However, the love story between two was so sudden and explicit. Her husband, who once dedicated a life for the great nation, changed his ideology and held a new perception of dedicating his life for his encountered love instead. Even after the marriage, the couple did not seem to have any relationship problem. Their everlasting love created an extremely strong bond between two of them. This can be seen that even the day that her husband passed away, Gallas still missed her deceased husband. The depiction of this love relationship gives audiences a general idea of 'power of love'. It is a strong emotional force in human's life that can change the world of any being who has contact with it.
My relationship with my grandparents is really undefined due to the fact that they passed away before I was born. Still, even though I have never met them personally, I still admire and respect them as a part of my bloodline because, without their presence, there will never be me today.

After the death of Cody's parents, Cody went to live with his grandma. Grandma Gallas was a dancer during the war. The relationship with her husband was so romance than anyone could imagine. She always told Cody the stories about how they met and what happened. She met grandfather Gallas while working. When grandfather saw grandma Gallas, he borrowed money from his fellows and bought a roll of ticket, so he could dance with her all night. Grandfather always believed grandma'd be waiting for him. His letter was all about the future and never spoke about the horror of the war. After grandfather passed away, grandma still remember him and love him. She always said that Cody look alike his grandfather and she cried at the first spring bloom of every year, because she missed her husband. My grandmother and I has a very close relationship. She was the one who babysit me. I remember when I was young, I broke my right arm because i jumped and fell down. When my grandma knew, she cried because she thought that my arm was all fall apart. Present day, she still spoiled me just like when I'm a kid. Maybe it's because I'm the first grandchild. Patcha (Much)

After the terrific experience, Cody went to live with his last relative, Grandma Gallas. To begin with, Cody described his Grandma, Gallas as a funny and energetic woman. She really kind to him and that’s why they really stick to each others. Cody and Grandma Gallas sure spent a lot of time together for example dancing, reading and having dinner. According to what the book said, Cody resembled Grandpa who already passed away at the point that when she dance with Cody, she just think of dancing with Grandpa. Grandma used to be a dancer during the world war. She usually danced at the military camp every night and that’s where she learned how to dance and met her love. It was describe that Grandpa fell for Grandma at the first glance, thus ended up borrowed money as much as he could to stay a whole night dancing with Grandma Gallas. After the war ended Grandpa and Grandma ended up married and spent their live living peacefully. Even though grandpa already passed away but grandma’s love for him never fade away. Same as Cody, I knew a little about my grandpa since he passed away at around the same age as Cody’s grandpa. The one who told about my grandpa was my grandma. I usually spent some time playing game with her. Sometime she would like to share some unreasonable story which I really enjoyed it. I really have good memory about my grandma during my childhood.
