Who Inspires You?

I find that most of the people in my life are inspiring in some way to me. No one is perfect, but most have something about them that is remarkable. My mom has the strongest faith I've ever seen. She is kind and loving and laughs all the time. My brother is the most honest and giving person I know. My husband is so emotionally strong, but sensitive to his family at the same time. My girlfriends all have a quality that I admire about them- trustworthy, loving, honesty, reliable, funny, understanding, intelligent, giving. My children have inspired the most change in me. I've learned so much about myself by being a mother and they have helped me become a better person. Thank you for reminding me of all the special people who are a part of my life.

Well there are so many people that comes to mind. My husband is the first he has Really stepped up to the plate since I became sick in May of this years. Then there is my big sis she has always been there for, for everyone. October 5th we found out that she has breast cancer and she has the most possitive outlike and a going about her buisness like this had never happened. Althou she knows that it won't be long she will not be able to go 90 to nothing to much longer. She is bound and determed to beat it. The whole family is right behind her 100%. And then there is my Gramy L. She is the coolest 84 yr. old that you want to ever meet. I just love her so much. My Grandpa he was "The Man" that I have always looked up too. He was funny, kind, loving, and genrous to everyone he would give anyone the shirt off his back. He served his country in WWII and recieved a purple heart and many others for his honorable duties. When he met my husband he turned to me and said sweetheart he is the one you will marry (we were dating at the time.) One day I asked him how did he know he was "THE ONE" he said,because I saw the look in HIS eyes when he looked at you. And I nnow he will be a great man for you and your family. And he was 100% correct he is the love of my live. My grandpa passed on Nov 23,1995 and I sure do miss him. Every year I pay tribute to him in the paper.
That was a great guestion to ask
Thank You

My Granny and Grandpap (mtrip) would be the pivotal people in my life. They were the building block that opened the door to my faith. They never wavered in their walk with God. When my sis and I would spend a week with them during Easter vacation or during summer vacations, we always new to bring our Sunday school clothes (we never went to church with anyone but them when we were small). We knew we wouldnt be watching any TV because they didnt have one for the first few years we visited with them; and then Grandpap finally caved and got a small black and white so they could watch the evening news AND that was the ONLY time the tv was ever on. When I was about 8 or 9, I remember visiting them and they allowed us to watch tv in the morning on Sundays just to see that one show that had the little christian boy and his dog.... right now I cant remember the name but I'm sure it will come to me... the dog's name is Goliath and I think that show still airs on TBN or some other channel on occasion.
Every morning when Granny and Grandpap were up (they were always up earlier than us girls) something delicious would be coming from the kitchen and Grandpap would be in his big easy chair reading the bible out loud to Granny while she was flippin pancakes and getting the Sunday roast prepared to go in the oven before church. They bought us our first bibles. My tattered one and my deceased sisters' both sit on a shelf in my livingroom today with the beautiful inscriptions from my Granny written lovingly inside the front cover each. Even as an early teen when I was starting to experiment with cigs and boys and other dumb stuff, I never did not want to go visit Granny and Grandpap when we were told that we were going to stay with them for a bit. It was always a breath of fresh air to be with them. They of course are long gone now, my sons never got to meet them and there is no one else in our family that is as firm and non wavering in their faith as they were. I know that my meeting them was a plan of God's and that I am supposed to be than new rock probably for my own granddaughter and I will do what I can to fill those shoes when she is older and begins lengthy visits with me and grandpa. I loved them so much and so thankful that God gave them to me for 21 years. Tears are running down my face right now while I remember them. Thank you C. for taking me there.

Those who make their own success in the world while maintaining grace and humility.

My grandmother, a 78 year breast cancer survivor who's in better physical health than most 20 year olds!

My Mom for going after what she wants in life regardless of the judgment of others.

My wonderful friend who is a mother of a vaccine-injured autistic little boy and also a little girl. She works full time, fights for the health of her children, and her experiences have had a profound effect on me.

My mom (73). My son (7).

My sister inspired me. She passed when she was 11. She had leukemia. She was such a strong, beautiful angel. I am so blessed to have had her in my life.

My grandmother inspired me. Her love of family was amazing. I do "grandmom mary" traditions in her honor. Especially christmas.
