I chose a Fanta soda can because it reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa was a great man he loved soda. Whenever he would go grocery shopping, he had to make sure to get a pack of 12 sodas. One day we noticed my grandpa wasn't acting like himself.  He was very kind and very well put together and he would never argue with anyone. To this day I can remember in the middle of 2015 my grandpa started acting weird so we took him to the doctor and after the results came back, it turned out he had Alzheimer's.
 Alzheimer is a disease that destroys your memory and other important mental functions. After about 2 years of having it, it was really bad he couldn't remember much, such as he didn't know if he had already ate or not, or if he had already prayed. He lived very close to the supermarket so he would walk there so he could buy Soda or ask my grandma to take him.
 In 2018 my dad decided to move to the US to give me and my sister a better life. In 2020 my grandma told us that my grandpa wasn't well and she took him to the hospital and she said one thing he didn't forget was he would ask where was my dad. That made my father very upset because he wasn't able to be there with him. Unfortunately one day we received a phone call from Brazil and the news was that my grandpa had passed away. 
I will never forget how funny and friendly he was, i'm very proud to have his last name.
