Personal Childhood Web

1. Mother - She provided the basics of care. The day to day the cooking and cleaning. My mother was of old school, children were seen and not heard. Recently, I found out that my mother suffered from mental health issues most of my childhood.  I learned what kind of mother that I wanted to be from my mother.
2. Father - He was the provider, he worked two jobs and still managed to give us personal time. I learned my work ethic from my father. My father protected us from my mother's illness.

3. My sister, Mary - She spent a lot of time with us. She played hopscotch, barbie's, house and school with me. I learned so very much from her, she is still my best friend.
4. Grandma-  She was the typical farmers wife. She cooked three meals a day for family and farm hands. She tended to her garden and raised the chickens. As a family we spent many weekends with her. Once old enough to work, we were able to spend a week in the summer.
5. Grandfather - Much like my father, my grandfather was a great provider. Even though we were working he made it fun. Spending time with his grandchildren was important to him.
