The Love I Felt as a Child

My family was small, but full of big love. 


My Dad:
A huge heart and with a quiet strength, my Dad gave me a sense of gentleness and creativity.
He provided me with a respect for family and history, knowledge of technology, and the gift of words and pictures.


My Mom:
A hard-working LPN and then RN, my mom showed me an enormous amount of love when I was a child.
She cooked family meals, shared great music with us, and taught us about her beautiful hometown in Michigan.
My Little Brother:
He has shown me unconditional love since before I turned two years old.  He has a heart full of kindness, humor, and generosity.  He's been my best friend and was by my side through all of my childhood ups and downs.
 



Uncle Steve:
We had a strong connection that carried over into my adulthood.  He loved me with all his heart and made sure I knew it.  He extended that love to my husband and daughters, making us all feel special.  We miss him every day!

  1. Lisa,
    It looks like you had a lot of support as a child. Soemtimes when we look back at inlfuences as children, we think about adults only. It was ver refreshing to see what inlfuence your little brother had on you as your best friend. We tend to forget about siblings. They are sometimes closer to us than our parents.
