Family

Yesterday I was thinking about the most important things in my life. Well without a doubt, my two girls came to mind. Michele, my first born, blonde hair and blue eyes, then Jennifer came with dark hair and hazel eyes. They are as different as night and day.

Then my health. I have had some rather serious problems, but with prayer and faith in God I have gotten through each one.

Of course my mother and brothers, were next. There are not enough words to describe my mother who gave birth to me. She is strong, loving, caring, and her honesty is so powerful.

My brothers are two good men now. Little boys that have grown with the strength from our mother.

Then it came to me the most important thing in my life has always been there all along, my family.

They range from my grandparents who are both deceased to my new grandchildren. Family is the most important in everyone's lives. What a wonderful family I have, so let me introduce them.

My grandparents were of the old school, work hard, good citizens and above all have respect in yourself. My grandfather was a powerful man, he was the father of nine children. That was quite a job having so many children to mold into respectable people.

My grandmother took up where granddaddy left off. Not only was she a loving and caring person, she made sure her children respected others. She also made sure dinners were on time, baths taken and worship every Sunday.
I have already touched on how wonderful I think my mother is. She is my rock and I love her with all my heart.

I have two brothers, one works as a dispatcher for a large trucking company. He has two children, the ideal family. The other is a welder for a large electric company, so he comes home with burn marks all on his arms. He has a daughter, that was a product of a kidney transplant. God works in wonderful ways. I had another brother but he died when he was 22 months old. We will never know what he would have been in life, but we know that he was much needed by God , to leave us so quickly.

I have a new granddaughter and a new son in law. The baby in so brand new, her mind is open to all new things. She has no hate or meanness in her heart. Her wings are not tarnished. She is pure.

My son in law was sent from heaven to make my daughter's life complete. He loves her so much he doesn't even have to say anything, they both just beam when they are together.

My stepfather is not to be left out. He is a gentle man with soft words. He can be stern if needed. Mostly the first thing you notice is his gentle manner. He is wonderful with children.

Next my aunts and uncles, they treat me like I'm their sister not their niece. They are always there when I need a friend.
So I guess you can see I have so much to be thankful for when it comes to my family.
