MOM: My
mom was a single, working, parent raising two daughters at a time when it was
not widely accepted to do so. She was my
strongest role model growing up. I
always felt extremely loved and supported in everything that I wanted to
pursue. She made me feel whole when
outside sources tried to tell me I wasn’t because I did not have a relationship
with my dad. She was an amazing role
model being such a strong and independent woman.
SISTER: My
sister is 6 years older than me and she was a huge influence in my life. Because my mom was a working mom, my sister
had the responsibility of taking care of me a lot of the time. She made me feel like I was included and “cool”
when she would take me with her to hang out with her friends while my mom was
at work. Because of this bond she was
the first person that I turned to when I was an adolescent and needed help or
guidance. She is still my best friend to
this day.
GRANDMA: My
grandma never needed to do much to make me feel special. Her every action told you she loved you and
supported you. Her love language was
food. She always had my favorite treats
at her house, she made my favorite foods at family meals, and we always went
for ice cream when I would stay the night.
I miss her very much and still remember the way she smelled when I
hugged her!
AUNT and UNCLE: My
Aunt and Uncle were special because they were my role model for a
relationship. My Aunt was very fun and
active and we did a lot of fun things when we were together that I didn’t do
with my mom. My uncle was my positive
male role model. He gave me the fatherly
relationship that I didn’t get from having a dad in the home.
