Deborah Womack (Mom)
My mom is a very special person to me. Growing up my mom always made sure to take me to the places that I wanted to go to when she could. She took me to the library, swimming lessons, church, girl scouts, and to the park. We would play games together on Saturdays while she was waiting for the clothes to wash and dry. We went to eat pizza every Saturday for lunch at Mr. Gattiis. I now visit my mom every weekend and we eat together, shop, go places together, and go to church together.
Ben Womack (Dad)
I was daddy's little girl growing up. The first few years of my childhood that I remember, I would go with my dad to flea markets on the weekend. We also went fishing together when I was growing up. We also went to my grandmothers house to visit. I still see my dad every weekend to have some time just to sit and talk with each other.
Steve Womack (Brother)
My brother and I played together growing up but we would fight a lot when we were younger. We played video games and pool together. My relationship with my brother has improved over the years as we help each other out and we do not fight any more. I do not get to see him as much as I would like but we have a close relationship.
Arlie Wright (Grandpa)
My grandpa always would joke with everyone. I would go with him on company outings. I would also go to the beach with him and my grandma with my mom. The biggest things my Grandpa was known for was his love for church, NASCAR racing, gospel singing, fishing, joking, eating tomatoes, chocolate candy and ice cream, and hot dogs from Scoops Grill. My grandfather passed away a few months ago, but I will always remember him for all the things he loved and his joking.
Mary Anne Womack (Grandma)
My grandmother was the best person that I have ever met. She was always joyful and found the good in everyone. She let me help her any time that I wanted to. I helped her in the house, garden, and at the grocery store. She let me stay at her house when I wanted to. She always would try to get you to eat when you came to visit. She always fixed biscuits and cornbread fresh every day. My grandma will always hold a special place in my heart. I will always strive to be as kind of a person as she was. She was truly an inspiration to me.
Elizabeth Wright (Grandma)
My grandma and me would go places together like the library, McDonalds, Hardees, and Mrs. Wingers. She would want to get something to eat on Saturday mornings, so I would go with her. Sometimes she drove and other times we walked. My grandma stayed at home and was crippled since she was two years old when she fell and broke her hip. She was determined and did not let that stop her. We also played games like rummy, Chinese checkers, and aggravation together. I was grateful that my grandmother always played games with me when I was bored.
I'm glad to see you had such a wonderful family. Even though some are gone, it's nice to know that memories carry on.
ReplyDeleteDear Crystal,
ReplyDeleteI see that your family was really supportive of you too. My attention was particularly draw to your relationship with your brother as my elder sister Deborah and I had our own fights. She was so sweet but I was naughty so I made her life so hard. She paid for all my mistakes as mom saw me as a child. I believe that a little fighting here and there is inevitable among siblings. It is important however for caregivers and teachers to know when to halt such fights especially if they affect the children's social life with others around them. Also if the fights hinder the children's concentration in class and in other extracurricular activities.
