Miss Sarah my Grandmother
My father's mother had so much love for me. I was given her first name. My grandmother raised me from age 2 months until I got married and moved. My grandmother was very serious, hard-working, and disciplined woman. She didn't like to embrace with hugs but I knew she loved me. She made sure I was prepared for school each day. I had to be in bed by 8:00 p.m. Each morning she had a hot breakfast ready before I went to school.
Mr. Stewart "Sugarman" My Dad
My dad joined the army doing my early childhood. He didn't come home often. When he did come home I would be so excited to see my Dad in his army uniform. He would always bring me a gift. Every birthday he would send my grandmother some money to make sure I had my favorite treats: chocolate ice cream, yellow cake with chocolate icing, cheese puff and a brand new dollar bill.
Aunt Ethel
Aunt Ethel was my grandmother's oldest daugther. What my grandmother couldn't do she would take care of it. My aunt kept my hair combed, clothes cleaned and ironed. She would always help me with my homework.
Uncle Freddie & Uncle Bobby
My uncles Freddie and Bobby spent most of their time working in the cotton field. They made sure that my grandmother had the money to pay bills and buy what was needed for the household. When I wanted something extra from the store they never hesitated to get what I wanted.
Each member of my family cared for me in a different way. My family influenced me to work hard and take care of the family no matter the circumstances. My aunt influenced me to study and make good grades. My family made me feel so special because they made sure my needs was always met plus supplied some of my wants.
This is a very nice web. You can tell by your writing how much you care. I wasn't raised by my granny but she lived next door most of my life and I lived with her and my grandfather when I was a senior in high school. It was a really special time that I really cherish now since my grandfather passed away. We always watched Frasier together. =)
ReplyDeleteI find it so wonderful that your grandmother was so involved in your life growing up. The depth of your feelings for her is very apparent. My grandmother was not involved in my life. We don't live anywhere near family so, for my sons, it is just me and my husband for a support system. My parents and my mother in law visit, call, and send packages but it's not the same. I often wonder what sort of impact this will have on my children.
ReplyDeleteSarah your grandmother seems to have a special place in your heart. Children really need those support people in their lives to make them feel secure, and I’m glad that you had such a strong supporting cast.
