Personal Childhood Web

I would like to dedicate this space to the people in my life who helped nurture and shape my childhood. My grandmother Elizabeth, but we all call her ma mo. She is the matriarch I must acknowledge her first, because without her there would not be my mother.  I always brag to my friends how I have the best mother on the planet.  Vera is so loving and giving, She's a gentle soul that leads by example. My mother and grandmother influenced me by teaching me to pray, to cook and to run my household. My oldest sister Sheryl taught me style, I followed her everywhere and immulated her. My grandfather Clyde showed me want a real man does to provide for his family. My grandfather influenced me by showing me stability. He would always told his granddaughters, don't fall for no wooden nickles. That saying really stuck with me, although I didn't understand him. As a grown woman I now understand what he was saying, and it makes me cherish his memory even more. These very special people in my life are priceless and continue to influence me with encouraging words and unconditional love.

      This book is very special to me. I read this to my first born son and I could not finish the book without becoming very emotional. Each time I read it to him I would cry because it reminded me of how very much I love and cherish my child.  I will carry this love and concern for each child. I love each child I come in contact with like they are my own.

 This portrait said to me, with time and care given you can teach any child to bloom. It also said stop and enjoy the little things in life. A motherly figure or even a caregiver can mean the world to a small child. The learning stages of a child are one of the most important milestones.
