- My Mother, Patricia
My mother was a stay-at-home mom who gave her everything as a mother. She sacrificed so much to ensure than my sister and I had everything we needed while we were growing up - and she still does today, even though I am approaching 30 and my sister is 24. - My Father, Mark
My father was the "main bread winner" in our household, but he was also sure to make time for his children. He is brass and outspoken, he is passionate about the things he believes in, and he's a loving man, even if he has a tough exterior. I am every bit my father's daughter. - My Aunt Barb
My aunt is my mother's sister. Growing up, she was always around to be another supportive female figure. Today, I can attribute a lot of my own beliefs, manners, and the way I conduct myself to the way she taught me. - My Grandma Judy
My Grandma Judy married my Grandpa Bud shortly after I was born, so even though is not my real grandmother, she has always been my Grandma. To her, I attribute my strong sense of family and the need to keep them close - she loves to plan the yearly family reunion and is always diligent to remember everyone's birthday and/or anniversary, and sends them a card for every special occasion. - My Grandpa Bud
My (maternal) Grandfather has always been a quiet man, but he has always been there for me when I need him - if I was ever in trouble or needed to talk, he has always been there.

Lindsy,
ReplyDeleteThank You for sharing your memories from your childhood. From looking at the picture you have a beautiful family. When your daughter grows up and of age where she can understand and form a sense of interest; I pray that you share her family history with her. Show her the picture of four generations where you guys are all together and hopefully that will encourage her to carry on the trait of family stays together. Not all children can atest to acknowledging or even knowing up to four generations of family members, and for you to be included in that piece of history is priceless. Continue to keep family together and the history as rich as it has been created when you pass it down.

I love your four generation picture! Priceless is all that I can say. The cartoon of the mother & daughter is amazing, I love what it says. You will be all that and more because you have received so much from the people around you and I am sure you will pass it on to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about your family. You are lucky to have such strong connections with them. It's wonderful that you have many generations in your family to call upon when you need them. I always find that the older generations have the most wisdom and do not get caught up in a the "crud" that is in our world today. Good luck in class. I look forward to reading more from you :-)
