Those five people
would include:
·
Thelma
·
Arthur
·
Francois
·
Margaret
·
Alexandra
Thelma is my mother;
she is kind, loving and a genuine person. She has nurtured me from the time I was
in her womb; she has gone out of her way to provide the best she could for me
to succeed in life. Despite how I may complain, she still continues to support
and love me, and as a mother she still sees the need to be there for me a
support. She has influenced my life to become educated and to be the best I can
be.
Arthur is my
father, we have an understanding, he makes me smile, he cares for others more
than himself, he tries his best to provide for his family as well as he could.
Usually girls are fond of their daddy, and I am no except to the rule, when I call
he answers, when I need a ride he comes, if I need money and he has it he gives
it and with very little fuss he does it. Knowing that I’m his number one
princess makes me feel special.
Francois is my
dearly beloved brother, we too have an understanding. He too cares, loves and
probably wouldn't replace me with any other sister. We have each other’s back,
even when someone else doesn't understand be sure that we understand, may not
agree. He’s has showed me that I should just be me, and not to worry about what
others might think. He just being my brother makes me feel special.
Margaret and
Alexandra are both my aunts, they have been the only two aunts that live in Barbados
with me, with whom I’m relatively close to. They have played a vital part in
raising me; they would be the homes I go to when my parents have to go out
otherwise. The ones to spoil me when necessary, always fun to be around. It’s
the little things they instilled, like how to chew gum, mouth closed always. I
cherish their purpose in my life, even now I as grow they still continue to play
a role in my life and have an effect.
Family is my
life, all those that know me know this. There are always there supporting, they
may want a
certain way of life for you, but despite mistakes, fall, get back
up, my family will be there no matter what.
That is how we live as a family,
tell you the truth in love.
Hello Kiendra,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your your blog and gaining insight on your support system. There is no doubt that with your support system you will continue to flourish. You seem to have come from a family unit similar to mine, in that you support each other both in the immediate and extended family. Unlike you, I grew up with mostly women around me since i have no brothers. However, they have given me incredible strength and determination. Nonetheless, we share some in common, we both believe that family is life and we are 'Caribbean girls'.
Very true.....I have St.Lucia roots too :). My father is Lucian and so was his mother and father.
DeleteHi Kiendra
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a little insight to your world. I love the diverse background that you come from. I too would call myself a daddy's girl,I know there is nothing he wouldn't do for me. I really like the comment about your brother and that hopefully he would not trade you for another sister, I would say the same about my brother too. He has always had my back we were united against all others. Siblings that are close in early ages create supportive relationships in conjunction with peer relationships. My aunt was a big part of me growing up as well, and even more so the older I have become.
Kiendra, you really have this blog technology down, I love your picture web. It also looks like you have a lot of people in your life that made a significant impact on you. I can tell by the way you describe them, they are like you say your life! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteKiendra,
ReplyDeleteYour blog has a lot of meaning. My family is very important to me. I feel very blessed to have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. I too have lived through many hard times. You are so right when you fall, you just have to get up and keep going. Families are all about unconditional love. You will be successful. I like your pictures in your web. Good job. Best of luck to you, Diana
Thank you everyone, if anyone needs a hand with their blog I am willing to assist.
