My Personal Childhood Web

My mother is the greatest support a daughter could ask for. She has always been by my side and I know I can always count on her in the future. She continues to support me no matter what!
My father was a great provider and supported our family well. Unfortunately, we lost him to a heart attack when he was 45 years old. We will always miss him. Both my parents took me to church and taught me about God's love. For this, I am eternally grateful.

My gradndmother (Mom Webb) was very influential as I was growing up. I couldn't wait until summertime when I could go to her house and stay a week or so at a time. She taught me life skills such as cooking, canning vegetables , and some sewing. Mom Webb always saw the good in everyone and never said a bad thing about anyone. I always wanted to be like her. She was a wonderful person and I will always remember her.

My Aunt Ruth has always been more like a grandmother to me. This is my mother's sister and I have always been extremely close to her. I talk to her regularly and try to spend time with her. I will never forget getting mad at my mother once and deciding I would move in with my aunt. That idea only lasted two days.(LOL)

My brother and sister were a huge part of my support system growing up and we are very close today. Growing up we shared our hopes and dreams. Losing our dad was a very painful experience for us.

Favorite Children's Book

Although there are many wonderful children's books, Love You Forever, is my favorite. This was a favorite of my two boys when they were younger. I would have to read it over and over to them and I would always end up in tears. If you are a mother, of a boy, and have never read this story you need to read it. You will love it. It is about a little baby boy growing up and it is very touching.
