My children and grandchildren are the air I breath and the food to my soul. I cherish the ground that they walk on. I have recently lost my mother and it has been devastating. my children and grands have been my only solace. I love that they are a part of me and my history and I love seeing them become fabulous adults. My mom was the single most positive influence in my life and I miss her terribly. I was lucky to have had experiences that made me realize how important children are and I have had a few experiences that made me realize just how fragile life is. I learned at an early age that I would appreciate life every day. I have always had the passion and drive to protect and advocate for children and have made it my life's work.
Relationships are being part of a whole. Humans are social by nature and need the interaction and validation of others. Family, friends, co-workers, pets, they can at any given time bring a different componate to the relationship, validation, love, interest, self-worth, knowledge, companionship and many, many other emotions. I consider myself lucky in that I have many wonderful relationships, my children, grandchildren, husband, sister, brother, dad, pets, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and co-workers (all of my grandparents have passed). Relationships help to validate, support, strengthen, grow, and teach us about life.
I feel that to build and support a good relationship there needs to be gentle honesty, genuine caring, the ability to truly listen, have the desire to grow and support each others goals and needs, and the ability to let others know how much you love and care for them. Relationships need to be nurtured and cultivated like they mean something to you and you want them to live. I enjoy and need my alone time to just be, to create, and to reflect. My relationships fill me with love, self worth, contentment, joy, laughter and tears, I know I am alive and that I matter.
