Second day of my gratitude challenge. Yesterday I was grateful for the basics - faith, wife and health. Today I will concentrate on my family of origin. 1) I am grateful for my elders. Of course that is my mother Rose Taylor. She did the incredibly difficult job of raising me as a single mother for most of my childhood. It also includes my grandparents George and Louise Yancey who I lived with during my high school years. They gave me love and guidance. My grandfather provided me with the best role model a teenager could ever want as it concerns being a man. 2) I am grateful for my brothers. Vincent, Justin and Robert Howard. We grew up together, fought like the siblings we are and had each others back. My bros were the first friends I made and helped me to learn how to interact with others later in my life. We have gone different paths but we are still brothers. 3) I am grateful for my nieces and nephews. That is Simone Aubrey Marie, William Isaac Howard, Candace Howard-Williams, Vanessa Howard, Vince Howard, Sadie Howard, Machela Tucker, Dominic Howard and Whitney Tucker . I have gain joy watching you grow up and look forward to seeing the sort of men and women you will become. A bonus gratitude is that a few years ago I found out I have a sister Erin Carter). Fun getting to know you and looking forward to developing this family relationship in the coming years.
