Three important people in my life.

     My husband is an important person in my life. He is my best friend and has been a great father to my children when they needed one most. My husband’s name is Spencer. He is about 5’9 and has a very slender build. He has brown hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. He is a very easy going person. Where I stress over something he just let’s it slide like it is no big deal. Our personalities fit perfectly. He is the most important person in my life because he came to me when my children and I needed him most. We were not in a very good place after leaving my abusive ex-husband. Spencer taught me to love myself again and what true love really is.

     My friend Rose is an important person in my life. Rose is about 5’8 she has blonde hair that is short and very thin.  She is very heavy set and is very quiet and has low self-esteem. Rose is an important person in my life because she has taught me that true friends look beyond the outer shell of a person. She taught me that not everyone is perfect and that it’s ok.  Rose even though she is nothing like me has turned out to be one of the best friends I have ever had. She does not parent like me. She is not clean like me. She has an abusive husband that she stays with anyways. We are just complete opposites yet we have been great friends for years. Rose has taught me a lot about myself and I believe I have taught her to be stronger and to value herself more.

       My father is an important person in my life. My dad is 5’8, and he is heavy set. He is balding on top and what hair he has left is almost white.  He dresses in jeans and old t-shirts and is a very giving man. Growing up he took my side quite often. He saw the unfairness that was going on in our home and did his best to try to help me. He is man who avoids conflict so this was hard for him most of the time.  My dad taught me that everyone deserves a chance and just because people can do bad things it does not make them bad people. Everyone deserves a second chance.  He taught me that hard work may mean you have to sacrifice but that it is what men do for their families.  He also taught me that people can change and become more caring, loving people. My father is a good man.

  2. Your father sounds a lot like someone important in my life too. Those lessons you described that he taught you are some lessons that are good ones to be taught. If only everyone could just do have of that...

  3. I'm glad you left the abuse and found something better. I hope your friend finds it in her to do the same.
