My Mother: Katie Williams was the first to nuture me and that nutured me the longest in my lifetime. Not only did she nuture me, but fourteen other children as well. As a nuturer, she taught me how important it is to love everyone as thou self. In result of how her nuturing, it taught me how to be a mother. It made me feel good to know how I had a woman figure in my life to be an example like my mother did.
My Brother: Eugene was the most heroic man I've known. With him serving in the U.S. Navy, he was an example that I had to follow and look up to. Eugene was an example to me physically, socially, and spiritually. As being a nuturer in my life, he was the one I could confide in as a child as well as an adult. As being that person there to listen, made me feel important to a great extent.
My Sister: Earnestine was and still is one of the most influential person that I have encountered in life. She is one of my oldest sisters that has been through a lot. As a child, we cried alot together and she taught me some of the greatest essentials to womanhood. As being that person in life to continue to help me as we are adults, makes me smile and appreciate her even the more.
My Grandmother: Anna was a strong woman. She lived until the age of hundred and three. She also was a nuturer to me all my life. She always was an encourager to me in all the years of my youth. She always reminded me that I could do anything that I set my mind to do. With her encouraging me constantly, made me value my life even the more and honor my heritage the more as well.
My family has taught me to love and do unto others as I want them to do unto me. Which is the best motto to go by in this present world.
Wonderful post and pictures. Were your brother and sister members of the clergy? Did you say you have 14 siblings? Now I understand why you are so passionate about what you do.
ReplyDeleteYes my brother and sister were, as well as some more, and I am also. I am very passionate because I come from a common background.

DeleteHi Cedar,
ReplyDeleteYour dad seems awesome. When I was little I always envied my friends when I was around them with their fathers, because my dad died when I was six years old.I quess we all have a sister to teach us something about womanhood.My grandmother's name was Annie. Living to be a 103 is truly a person who has been blessed.I have always believed that people who lived that long have been sent from heaven to take care of special people. I enjoyed reading this post.
