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.

  1. It's great that you have your entire family around you for that support and trust you need. Where else would be a better place to get that support u need...

    I am sorry to hear about your Dad passing at such a young age, but fortunately you had a wonderful support system to help you through that terrible experience.

  3. Amy,

    I am very sorry to hear about your dad...he was so young. I am also very close to my brother and sisters, especially my brother. When my sister was hit by a car and almost died, he and I became very close. My parents were overwhelmed with all the issues surrounding my sister so he and I were left to ourselves a lot. Because of the time we spent together and the things we had to do for each other, we became very good friends and we still are today.

    I am so sorry to hear that your dad passed at such a young age but, the memories you've shared are with you forever. My mom , too is the best supporter a daughter could have. I'm glad that your support system remains strong. I am also here to support you if you need anything throughout your teaching journey. Great job!

  5. Hi Amy,

    I am sorry to hear about your loss, and I know what you have gone through. I lost my father a few years ago and it was very tough and something that never goes away. You have a strong support system and there is nothing like the love of family and having them support us as we grow and try to find our place in society.
