My mom has to be the first person that I talk about. She informed me that I could not put her picture on the internet and said she would be upset if I did. Good thing she does not know how to work a computer..lol! My mom was the nuturer. She was always there for me when I was growing up. We did not have a lot of money but she had more than enough love. She never withheld it from me, she always showed and told me. My mom is the type of person that does not often get upset. It takes a lot to push her to that point, but if you do... OMG... and yes I did one time. I watched my mother put herself on the back burner to make sure her children had everything we needed in life. We might not have always gotten what we wanted but there was not a need that went unmet. My mom made me feel special, beautiful, and loved when I was growing up(she still does to this day). She always told me that she was proud of me when I did something that made her proud. Even when I fell short of accomplishing something she knew exactly what to say to make me feel good about myself. She always encouraged and supported me. She never took up for me when I was wrong( I did not like this growing up). My mom was and still is the sparkle in my eye, she is the reason I can smile and smile from the heart. She taught me to love myself and if it was not for her I would not today. My moms influence stills continues to impact my life. I call myself LiL Linda. I always said I was going to show my children the same love and affection that she showed her children when we were younger. Even now when I am going through hard times or have a tought situation with one of my children I can call her and get advice and wisdom. I can remeber my mom always coming to anything I had at school(not just me but my brothers and sister) and she always made time to come outside and interact with us. She still does when we go to the house but now she includes the grandchildren. I really love my MOMMY and she taught me how to love!
I have an aunt named Sharon, OMG she was always there when I was younger. She showed me that she cared about me by letting me come stay at her house and by helping out my mom whenever she needed her. I would consider her my provider. (yes my dad was in the picture) I can remember in school, whenever I was going on a trip I would always call my aunt. I thought she was rich when I was a child because she always had money or anything I needed when I was growing up. She stepped in and helped my mother and that meant a lot to me. She was always my favorite aunt. She came around on the holidays and would spend the nights at my house. She was always an active part of my life. Even today she will call me once every other week just to check on me. Every holiday she still comes around and spends time with us. She showed me that love does not have to stop for a person just because they get old enough to take care of themselves. She has influenced me to always be there for other people when they are in a need.
I had a lot of people in my life when I was growing up, but not too many that I can say left a major impact or was there for me like that when I was younger.
