Building Relationships

          Hello everyone. I am going to discuss my relationship with the four most important people in my life.


 First off  I would like to introduce and discuss my relationship with my husband. We have know each other for 31 years, been together for 27 and married for 25 years. he has always been there for me even through the roughest challenges in our marriage. He always assured me that things would get better for us if we just hanged in there and it did. I like to think of  him as my soul-mate, the one that God designed especially for me. He is a man among men and I don't ever see my life without him.

Next is my daughter Genesis, she is our first born child and our new beginning as a family. When Genesis was 5 years old, she told my best friend that she heard me and her daddy talking while she was in my tummy and she heard me singing. And til this day, Genesis loves music. She is now 22 years old, married, in the Army Reserves and are about to start her own family. Genesis and I are very close, we share our love of baking together and plan to open a cupcake shop together.

Next is Christina, when Chrissie was young she loved building things, every Christmas we made sure to include big logos, she would set for hours building, tearing down and building again. One day when we lived in Germany, I went to pick her up for Kindergarten and she was crying. Her teacher told me that she was upset because she didn't get to play. She said that Chrissie took out all the blocks that she wanted to play with, set them up in a particular way and by the time she was ready to play, it was time to clean up. And she said "but I didn't get to play yet" she is now 21 yrs old, a sophomore at Morgan State Univ. studying to be an Architect. Chrissie and I share a special bond, I wrote a children' book and she did the illustration and are now designing my dream home.

Then there my third child, Christopher. As a child Chris always enjoyed playing with Army men and playing games like Risk. He was diagnosed with Dyslexia at age 8, but he never let that stop him, he is a genius when comes to computers and computer programming.  He is a teenager now and he makes mods for strategic games. He is in the Military academy and plans to join the Army as an ITT man. Chris I must say is a mama's boy, he is always checking on me to make sure that I am okay. 

My family is my inspiration and gives me the drive to succeed. When I ran my own in home Family Childcare they all took part in making the success that it was in the community. My family means everything to me. I couldn't survive without them.
