I, of course, knew my mother as a mother. As I have reached adulthood and become a mother myself, I have also known her as a friend. My mom shared much of herself with me, and I saw sides of my mother as she struggled with her cancer that I had never seen before, especially her strong belief in positive thinking and the importance of quality of life. I was privileged to know so many facets of my mother, but certainly I did not know all. There were parts of her life that I didn’t see, relationships that I didn’t know about. Last night, at the wake, so many stories were told to me about my mom’s strength, courage, humor, kindness, her quietness, her loyalty as a friend. It was so special to hear of these things that my mom said and did, to know some of these other parts of her life. I hope that her friends and family will continue to share these stories with me and with each other so we can continue to know and remember my mom.
I am writing this to you on the anniversary of my father's passing, out of a deep concern for your future. My desire is that, by reading this, you may avoid some of the pain that my generation has experienced. Many things have come and gone in my lifetime, for God has granted me a long 60 years. I wish to tell you all that I have experienced, before I too pass on, that you may learn from the mistakes of the past, and that our losses may not be in vain.
I was raised by my mother and grandmother. They kept my head leveled and taught me that working hard leads to success. I loved them, and they were my role models. I grew up in a middle class family with strong women. I learned independence, and the strong will to never give up. It was the summer of 2005 when my mother re-married, and I was in the eighth grade. My mother was happy because she found the conclusion to her life: a husband. I was ecstatic because I finally had a daddy! My hopes, wishes, and dreams had come true. I felt that God answered my prayers. I loved having a father figure, although I had certain doubts. My uncertainty came from the way he looked at me. He looked at me the way men crave women. However, I concealed my unclear feelings because I did not want to ruin the current circumstances. Unfortunately, all of my suspicions were true.
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
After he had sat with her, he got up and walked away to stand near the door. I sat in the chair next to her bed and the first thing I did was grab her hand, I dropped my head down because I knew our time was coming close to being done, what no one understands is how much of an impact she had on my life. There may have been an 83 year age difference between her and I, but she was my mentor, my story teller, my care provider, she gave me the best advice, she cooked the best food, she was the one I always aimed to make proud, but most of all she was my best friend. “It’s okay to cry, sweetie” said my dad. I didn’t want to cry though, that’s not what grandma would have wanted, but I couldn’t help it, I started to cry a little. How was my dad not crying yet? How could he stay so strong, he was much closer to her than I was, but somehow he managed to stay strong throughout all of it. I sat by her for probably 15 minutes holding her hand, I stood up, hugged her, whispered into her ear “I love you great grandma and I’ll see you when I get there”, I kissed her cheek and turned to leave the room. My dad was standing behind me and I walked into his arms and started crying, I couldn’t handle knowing that this could be the last time that I
Sometimes before or after work we would hang out. His old girlfriend had custody of their son but he seen his son on a regular basis. One day I was visiting and my friend made me mad with the way he was treating his current girlfriend’s son. You could tell the child was uncoordinated was more of a quite boy he said to me “the kid doesn’t know how to do anything; can’t even catch a ball like my son.” I looked at my friend and told him “If you’re marrying his mother you’re marrying him; so be a dad not a jerk. If you do things with him and treat him like yours he will learn how to do the things you like to do as well as you learn the things he likes to do because you’re about to be his dad. If someone treated you son like that what would you do.” We remained friends I moved on to a different job He got married to the woman he was engaged to they had a couple of more. Ran into him a couple of years later. We decided to have a family picnic his family and mine. We had a blast he was treating his step-son like he was his. The boy was not as quiet or shy as he used to be he liked to play sports and have fun. So just by showing love and teaching the child turned
First, meet Randy , my dad. He is 50 years old. He likes fixing old cars called ratrods, he is working on one now. He’s got the frame and the other part of the car that you sit in, there is no air conditioning, and the heat doesn’t work anymore, but he loves to work on it when he can get the day off from work. He also enjoys collecting rocks called agates. He looks wherever there are rocks, so we have tons of them. He likes watching Nascar, his favorite racer is Dale Earnhardt Jr. In his free time he likes to fish, hunt, and golf. A special memory I have with my dad is when we went to Agate Days in Moose Lake. We got geos and my sister took my dad's and the one he got didn’t have anything in it. I love my dad because he’s tough and we roughhouse and he’s my
I would like to start by saying what a pleasure it is to welcome, on this very happy occasion all relatives and friends of both families. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank especially my wife for not only being tolerant but more importantly an outstanding mother and the guiding influence in the upbringing of our daughter, culminating in today's celebrations.
My mother and father where great role models in my life and I’m very grateful to have them as parents. Life is so great with them that I really don’t want to leave and I know they don’t want me to leave either. They have treated me so well and I can’t thank them enough for how I turned out as a person. I am grateful for how my dad pushed me so hard to be a nice and kind person. Elders really appreciate well-mannered men and woman. I wan to thank my mom for everything she has done for me as a child. I really appreciate all the love she has given me and how supportive she
My dad, Derek has been a strong influence on my faith and my journey. He is an outstanding man who has a lot of great knowledge to share. He has given me advice and examples of how to grow more each day on my walk with God. He has pushed me in ways that I never thought I could be pushed in a good way of course. The quote said by Christof to Truman “ In my world you have nothing to fear.” I thought about God saying that and how it is represented so much in our world yet we fail to notice it. My dad never fails to let me know that there is nothing to fear in God’s
We all have that special person that makes us happy. Well that special person for me is my dad. My dad has been my best friend since I can remember. He has always been there for me through my toughest times. I wouldn’t know what to do without him. Now that he has had a lot of trouble with his eye health, I need to be there for im always.
There are times when you don’t know what to do or times when you might feel like you have no help in this world, but there is always that one person who never fails to give you the best advice in life, and that is your father. I have so much respect for any father out there that works hard, and always supports his family no matter what his imperfections might be. My father has got to be the best one in my opinion. He has been the biggest inspiration in my life because he taught me so much stuff in this life that I can’t find a way to pay him. He has been a very humble person and has never seen himself better than anyone else because he believes he is equal to any other father. In my opinion he is the best even though he says he isn’t. My father had imperfections just like any other human being in this world, yet he still taught me how to be a great person in this world by teaching me good morals. “Never Give Up, and believe in God and you will accomplish what you want in life” are words my father always tells me to remember.
thankful for that. My mother and I have become closer than ever and we have a very
One day in the midst of summer, my friend Mike and I got off from a hard day of work and were on our way to the mall. While at work we had planned to meet a few people there. I was going to be seeing my friend Jessica who I had not talked to in years. Before leaving, we stopped off at our houses, took showers, and got ready. As I anxiously waited on the stairs for his car to roll into the driveway, my mom said, “Be careful and do not drive like an idiot.” I obviously said alright and she was on her way. Minutes later I see my friend Mike pull into the driveway. I slipped my feet into my shoes and got in his car. We were almost to the mall when his phone rang. He picked it up and said, “Hello?” It was my mom and she wanted to speak to me. Upon putting the phone to my ear she told me that I had to come home right away. She said that my dad had just gotten into a car crash and that I had to come home and watch my sister. I did not know how to break the news to Mike, that what we were anticipating all day would not happen. He was upset, but he understood what was going on. I came home thinking it was the same old same old; he had gotten hit by a drunk driver, the car got totaled, and he was fine.
It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe. I cannot finish this chapter without mentioning my grandmother, I was lucky enough to have ever met. I had spent part of my life time with her, like the rest of the family she is sweet, my grandmother Abelus,
