Question

The person I admire most in the world is my Grandmother Hoomes--or as we call her, "Mimaw." My grandmother is not the most educated woman in the world since she only went to school until sixth grade. But Mimaw has worked hard her entire life on a farm, helping feed, clothe, nurture and educate her seven children. Mimaw has taught me that what's important in life is not money, but God and family (in that order).
Which sentence could you add as the next sentence of this passage that would fit the tone and style of this paragraph best?

A) I just love my grandmother so much!

B) Mimaw may not be on magazine covers, but she's the awesomest grandma ever!
C) I don't know why people don't love their grandmother as much as I love mine!
