Do you think you reached there in life, where you are today, because someone was there to encourage you, lead you all the way? Or are you sure your success is your own hard work & luck? I feel whatever I'm today is the encouragement & love my grandmother gave me. I was a child with many inferiority complexes, & it was my grandma who made me confident & encouraged me to live. I'm always grateful to her for my life. Until her death, she showed me how worth a human life is, & why God created each one different from the other. To whom are you thankful?


Blessings

I thank my daddy each and every day.(RIP).
He was the best daddy a girl could have ever asked for. Although when he passed I was young and dumb, as I have aged the qualities he instilled in me are coming out. He was always there for me and taught me how to be a young woman, that I could do anything I put my heart to. I would have been in a lot of trouble if it were not for him, so he is my hero!

That is great, you got all inspiration from your father. Many of the traits we inherit from parents, but being thankful for that is really noble. Everyone has someone to look upto with gratitude. For you it is your father. happy lotting.

hi erikmama
Remembering your dad with gratitude only shows that your dad had great vision for you and taught you the things that will stand you in good stead even when he is not around.My dad`s method was different he let me find my own way but his conduct and demeanor was so upright and inspiring that i never strayed from the right path.

hi tingtong I am so grateful for my Grandmother. She moved in with us when I was 4 or 5 years old.
She read countless bedtime stories to me
She taught me how to read
She took me to church at an early age
She prayed a lot for me when exams came up
She believed in me
She always encouraged me to find my own way in life

I have many great memories of her and when she passed away I was 25 but it still was much too early for me.

uuups I forgot the main thing she did for me. she shaped me to be a fighter. When things dont work out as they are supposed to be its try try and try some more.

That's really great u learned so much from your grandma. The best lesson you learned from her is to fight. Fight against all odd situations & win. You should pass those lessons on to the next generation. have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14619)  2 months ago

hi tingtong I dont have kids so its not easy to pass that lesson on to the next generation. It has not always been easy to follow in Grandmas footsteps but I think so far I have done a good job and she sure is proud of me seeing that I try my best to follow her teachings.
Wish everyone had had such a grandma as I had when young.

There are many people in my life I am Thankful for, and have helped me to become who I am today, and personally who I could never Thank enough even if I tried. One of those would have to be my Mom. Even if she was not always the best Mom she did try, and there are many times she offered advice that even if I did not want to hear it then, it helped make me who I am today.

Another couple is some dear friends of ours we had back when I was in High School that attended the Church I was going too at the time named the Teeples. These 2 were some of the best people I could ever call a friend, and they were 2 I could talk 2 and lean on even when all else failed. To this day I still remember some of the long talks we had, and even though I am sure they are gone now, they will be remembered and treasured forever.

I'm sure your mother might have done her best that you still remember her with gratitude. thumbup To me my mother had no part in my growing up. sad She was always busy with the younger ones that I never got any attention. But my grandma was always there. I'm always grateful to her for whatever I'm today. happy

Hello my friend tingtong Ji,
Well, I am very happy taht you owe yourselfto grand motehr,but I would never
forget to remember my mother as my father expired when I was a child and only mother alone brought us including my two brothers and two sisters. She left me to this day in most presentable way in society. I owe my life to her.
May God bless You and have a graet time. thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. tingtong (1221)   ranked 1 out of 2 in gratitude  3 weeks ago

Yes, my grandma she was great. I was brought up in a joint family with a great number of people. My grandma was in charge of everything. She struggled a lot to look into everybody's needs, still found some time for me. I was always a sad child as I felt neglected by my own mother.


myLot reputation of 84/100. maygodblessu44 (2463)  3 weeks ago

Hello my friend tingtong Ji,
You feel and remember your grandma is initself is great and it is due to your greatness. But if one feels that one was neglected by any member in the family during childhood, same one should never follow for oneself. In other words, one should take proper care as a lesson and keep morale in the family.
May God bless You and have a graet time. thumbup
