Everyone has someone in their lives that they think is a strong and powerful person and they look up to them some people luckily enough have more then one in this thread I would like you to talk about the people who mean the most to you in your everyday lives.

You don't need to say their names like I will you can just use their first name or even their relation to you but please tell us why they are influential to you

This thread is basically an appreciation thread for those people and a thank you to them for all they have done for you whether dead or alive doesn't matter but you must have personally known them

To start it off I have many and I will be posting them


Evelyn - My mother.. For many years this woman worked three jobs to help raise my sister and myself undergoing personal heartache all the way and yet she still stood strong and continued as she knew she should for her girls so that we wouldn't have to live the life she did..

Joyce - My Nana .. I was with her the day my grandfather died in their house. Yet This woman still stood her ground and did not falter in any of her activities born and raised in England she was brought here at the end of WW2 as one of the 354 war brides. She met my grandfather while he was stationed in England. She came here without any qualms about it. When my grandpie past away she kept going on her life until she pasted away in march of 2005. She is the lady who started to teach me to bake, which is a career I am still in. smile

Douglas - Grampie.. He past away when I was 11 but I learned a lot from him he fought in WW2 and fought for the peace of our country as well as the peace of the world. He was a strong man with a gentle heart and he loved his family with all his heart. He was passionate in everything he did.


Liz - Mother-In-Law.. I swear to all I can that this is the strongest and most resilient woman that I know .. This woman is a source of true amazement. You see, she has an illness that there is no cure for, I won't mention the name of it in a public forum because it may frighten people. Yet, while suffering from this illness she has undergone partial lung removal for cancerous tumor in it. Chemotherapy followed the removal. and now one year later is undergoing Radiation for two leisures that were found on her brain. Yet, still this woman is strong enough to after 1 week of radiation to still be normal well for her LOL She will not let this keep her down and for that she is an inspiration to me and MANY other people

1. My grandparents. My parents lost custody of me just a few days after my birthday and my dads parents adopted me as well as my sisters to keep the family together. They raised us as their own. They were never asked to do it. They just did it out of the kindness of their hearts.

2. My dad. Even though he lost custody of me he still visited me every chance he had until he had to go away when I was 6. We still kept in contact and he's been trying to give me as much guidance as he could. That's a hell of alot better than my mom who just abandoned me and didn't want anything to do with me.

3. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. I never met the guy. He died 44 years before I was born. Still by researching his life I've learned what can happen when leaders think outside the box.
