Shirley Bush ( mother) My mom is the backbone of my family she keeps all us together. She completed 20 years in the military and raised 4 children on her own. My mom's determination
showed me that all things are possible when you put your mind to it. I'm the oldest child and still the most spoiled kid! My mother calls me daily because she says she is always thinking of me.
Otis Bates ( father) My dad has always been very active in my life even though he and my mother divorced when I was 3. He completed 20 years in the military and set a good example of what pursuing your passion is. My father has always said Im his little girl forever! no matter how old I get.
Ella Bates ( grandmother) My granny is the best! I was the first born grandchild and spoiled. My grandmother taught me family is important! never lose sight on that because you only have one family!. Because of that my family is so close regardless if people are still married to others, we all keep in touch.

ReplyDeleteI am also my father’s mother first grandchild and boy was I spoiled. Till this day I always say grandma loves me more because I have been around the longest. I go to my grandmothers at least twice a week, usually Friday’s when I am off from work I’ll go get breakfast with her and we will go get our nails done, and Sunday’s for family dinner. I come from an Italian-American background and I cannot remember a Sunday I wasn’t at my grandmothers. Now with one of my cousins away at school and my brother in the military we always facetime/skype when we are all together. It is so cute to watch my grandmother use new technology, whenever my cousin or brother answer she starts clapping and singing. She is a true matriarch for our family and I am so blessed to have such a strong bond with her.

I like the way your mom teaching you that everything is possible when you put your mind into it. I think it is really true.
