My mother; My relationship with my mom has always been close knit. When I was younger she was who inspired me to try my best in all that I do. She supported me no matter what may have happened. I would not be the person I am today if I did not have my mom. She continues to support me in all that I do and encourages me to reach for the stars. I am very thankful for the mother that I have.
My father; My relationship with my dad is one of a kind. Ever since I was a child he has been a figure that I can look up to. He has taught me so much about how hard-work pays off and because of my dad I am a hard-worker today. Every day, my dad continues to let me know how proud he is of me. I will always look up to my dad, no matter how tall I am.
My sister; My sister is my other half. When we were younger we argued and bickered at each other like any sisters, but throughout the years, we have learned so much from each other. She has pushed me my whole life, in a good way, to continue to try my best at everything that I do. We talk each and every day and she is my continued support through life's struggles. My sister is a person in my life who no one could ever take the place of or ever will.
My brother; My brother is the closest to me in age. Our whole life we grew up together playing sports and running around outside, meeting new friends, and overcoming obstacles together. We worked together as a team and we still do today. I know that my brother supports me and always will. I feel confident going to my brother if I have a problem and I know he will do his best to help me. There is nothing like having a brother that is someone who supports you.
Grandmother; My nana encouraged me my entire life to try new things because I will never know if I like something until I try it. Every time I try a new activity, new food, new exercise, new book, etc.I think of my grandmother. I think that she gave me one of the best qualities that I have as a person. If nana was still alive today, I know that she would be continue to teach me values that I would cherish the rest of my life.
What a great family picture. I especially loved hearing about your grandmother. I had two amazing grandmothers that shaped me and showed me endless amounts of love and support.
ReplyDeleteI also have a sister that is an encouragement to me daily. In what way has she influenced you the most?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family picture! Although I didn't have a "live-in" sister, I do have two half sisters and we still bicker, but at the end of the day they are my sisters and we love each other dearly. Nothing can break that sisterly bond!
ReplyDeleteI share the same memories of my grandmother. She was always encouraging me to do new things. I don't have any sibilings, so its nice to hear about those bonds that you have.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about the relationship you have with your brother. About 2 years before I was born, my mom miscarried a baby, and I always dreamed about having a brother a few years older than me, to do things together. I do have a brother but he is 8 years older than me and we didn't spent a lot of time together, because he was studying in a boarding school.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time you spend with your family!
You are so lucky to have such a huge support system! Family is so important! I have two teenagers that fight at times so I always try to encourage them to get along. My husband and I tell them that they may not always have us around so they need to be there for each other.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture, you have a beautiful family! What a blessing to have such a great support system. It looks like everyone has been very supportive of your dreams:)
