I feel so fortunate to have so many quality relationships in my life. Having loving and supportive people in life is necessary as a social being. Not only do the people that are important to me encourage me to be the best person possible by following my dreams, supporting me when I am at a low point, or just being with me, but they also model qualities that help me to see where I want to go.
The relationships with my dad and sister are also important to me and who I am as a person. Being able to have people in my life that have known me through youthful rebellion to middle aged mother is reassuring. The reciprocal nature of unconditional love associated with family across time is the essence of my relationship with my dad and sister. The relationship is multi -dimensional, being family and friends.
Next, my best friend Gina for over 6 years is important to me. The foundation of acceptance, trust, honesty, and simply fun is what I love most about our friendship. As we have stated this week unbiased relationships based on mutual respect establish effect programs and practices. When I think of my friendship with Gina that is how I define it.
Lastly, my children (baby Calum is in the previous pictures also). Top row Elija (15), Kevin, Calum (1), Me. Bottom row: Amelia (5), Mya (9), and Eliot (3). My children love me without bias or condition. My part in their development and nurturing of them is a gift to both them and me. They help me to define myself, give me a sense of pride, and therefore no matter how much they take, they give me so much back in return.
