what inspires you?

"I participated in a blog link-up recently so I decided to start one of my own – What Inspires Me! Feel free to add a link to your own blog post about what inspires you at the end of this one. Mine’s about fitness but yours can be about anything you like!" -Emmalina

This idea came from Emmalina, at LoveEmmalina.com! This blog is supposed to be about what inspires me. I have three things in my life that inspire me to do the things I want to do in my life. Well, not actually things but two people. Three beautiful, amazing people.

Scarlett Faith

You, my beautiful baby girl, are one of these three people. Though it is a fact you are not biologically mine, I will never treat you as anything less than mine. You are so beautiful to me Scarlett and I see so much of your daddy in you every day. You are so smart and independent, even at 8 months old. I know that you're going to grow up to be an amazing little lady and I am so thrilled that I will have a part in who you become one day.

And for you, my lovely, amazing, wonderful and supportive partner. You get me through all the hard times and celebrate all of the good times with me. I don't know how I would make it through without you. You truly are the best person I could have chosen for myself. You keep me laughing and you help keep my stress level down when things at home get tough. I'm so proud of you for everything you're accomplishing in your life right now. I know that you're very intelligent and that you truly can do anything you set your mind to. I know you're going places in life and I'm coming right along with you.

Both of you inspire me to graduate high school and to go on and make something of my life. Because of you two, I want to go to college and become either a web designer or a culinary chef. I have goals for myself now. I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have the motivation I obtained through realizing what kind of life I could have once I moved away from home. 

 

Grandma

Last, but certainly not least is you Grandma. You inspire more than anyone else in this entire world. You were the brightest person I knew, and now you're the brightest star. My entire life you were always so beautiful to me. No matter what wrong I had done or what mistakes I had made, you still loved me and told me how beautiful and smart you thought I was. You were the head of our family and it's not the same without you. But even though you're not with us anymore, the inspiration you left with me is. You've inspired me to live my life the way you did. To become a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and a great-great-grandmother. To become a wife, a sister, a loyal friend and compassionate person. I want a family like you had and I hope that someday, when I'm old and have lived my life, that I can look back and say that I reached this goal. That I took what you taught me and became a better person. I hope that during my lifetime I can touch half as many people as you did. You are so loved and I miss you so much. But I will never forget the amount of love you held; It was inhuman.
