Personal Childhood Web

There are have been many people who have been intricate parts to my childhood.  The first person comes to mind is my mother.  She was a stay at home mom.  She taught me everything.  She cared for me when I was sick.  She made sure I got good grades.  She comforted me when I got my first broken heart.  Even now, I still go to her for guidance and assistance.  One time when I was a teenager I really going through something and she brought me a bouquet of flowers and card that said, "You are a special lady."   I still have the card.
Another person who was essential in my childhood was my father.  He was also my pastor.  He was taught me morals and right from wrong.  Also my father showed me how to have fun and enjoy life.  He would give me money to go to the corner store and get candy every day.  He always would play tag with me and he would swing on the swings with me.  That personal time we had made me feel really special.
My Aunt Lena came and lived with us when I was baby and she looked out for me.  She was young and she didn't have to take time out to babysit me but she did.  She would sing to me and that made me feel special.  Even to this day she calls and checks in on me and to make sure everything is okay.
My grandparents on my dad's side would call me all the time.  They took interest in what was going on in my life.  My granny would give me wisdom and send me a birthday card every birthday, even when I got older.  In some instances I still hear her voice when I feel stuck and don't know how to get out of a situation.
My grandparents on my mom's side would take interest in my life too.  They live in Texas and I am lived in New York so it was very hard to see them but when I did they would give me a big hug and listen to me ramble about my life.  As far back as I can remember they never cut me off.  My grandmother sings happy birthday to me every year and if I have any problems she is right there to listen to me and give advice.
