Personal Childhood Web

     My mother's name is Shirley and she has been so supportive of me since I was a child. I can remember she used to read me my favorite book before putting me to bed. She used to comfort me when I fell off my bike, and she would make my favorite dinner once a week. My mother made me feel special by always letting me know that she loved me unconditionally. I loved the way she held me as a child as if she could not let me go. I remember she would always rub her nose against mine and she would say "That was how eskimos kiss". I still share the Eskimo kisses with my own children.


My Father's name is Earl, he was my first love. We spent a lot of time together cooking, bike riding and other outdoors activities. He always made me feel special by telling me that he loved me everyday and he made it clear that I was "Daddy's Little Girl". I knew I could count on him to protect me from the monster in my closet to the bully on the playground. My father would pick me up and dance with me to his favorite song. He held me close and I knew I was special to him.

My grandmother's name is Lizzie, as a child she would tell me stories about her childhood. She would always make my favorite cookies for me during the summer months because I was always at her house. My grandmother enjoyed cooking meals for the family. Every holiday you could count on her cooking a large family style dinner. I loved being around my grandmother as a child because she would play card and board games with me. Our favorite games was old maid and go fish. My grandmother taught me how to ride a bike one summer. I remember I ran into a light pole and hurt my knee, my grandmother came running with a box of bandaids and a hug for me. She always made me feel special whenever I was with her.
