2. My dad: I have always had a close relationship with my dad and I know it is because he has never failed to love and support me. My dad has always shown that he cares about me. Even through the difficult phases in my life he was able to discipline me through love. I am grateful for all that my dad does for me and our relationship has only continued to grow over the years.
3. My grandpa: I have been so blessed to have all of my grandparents live very close to me. I was very involved in multiple activities growing up. I was privileged to always have all four of my grandparents support me in everything. My grandpa is very special to me and has taught me so much. He has so much love for me and has never neglected to show me that. He has helped me grow and develop to who I am and still continues to support me in all that I do.
4. My grandma: As a child, I was able to spend a lot of time at my mom's parents house and that helped us have a very close relationship. My grandma has shown so much love for me and has helped me feel special throughout my life. I am so grateful that she has supported me in all that I have done and although her love was never overbearing, I never doubted her love for me. My grandma continues to support me. Although her age sometimes makes things difficult for her, she is still always there for me.
5. My sister: I have a sister quite a bit older than me and so I was very young when she went to college. I looked up to her more than anything as a child and loved when I got to be with her. She made me feel special because although she didn't always want me to be around, she was so great about letting me spend time with her and her friends. She is one of my best friends now and she still makes me feel so happy to be with her.
Hi Linzie,
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful to have that family support. Its nice when you can look back and talk about all the unconditional love that your parents gave to you. I love how you talked about your grandparents. I only got to know my grandmother on my father's side because she lived to be 92. My other grandparents passed away when I was young. I glad you had a older sister who looked out for you and is your best friend.
Hi Linzie,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful support system growing up , one of guidance and encouragement. You were and are very lucky to have that in your life. I did not have my grandparents around growing up and felt as if something were missing from my life but now that I am a grandmother I try to support my grandchildren and give them encouragement every time we speak.
Linzie,
ReplyDeleteYour family is a wonderful support system for you and I know that you are thankful for them for everything that they did and still do for you. It is wonderful having a family that will support and encourage you in everything you do because it gives you space to make mistakes but also grow.
