Relationship Reflection

This is my family.




My oldest son, the one with the dreads is Derrick, 33 will be 34 on September 14th , the other gentle is my younger Desmond son 28 will be 29 on September 20th , my daughter Denise 14, 15 on September 19th. All of my children’s birthdays are in the same week. The other young lady if my daughter –in-law and KaAmyla (Mya) my grandson Adonis 5 and 6 on October 2nd and granddaughter Amari will be celebrating her 2nd birthday on September 20th the same day as her dads.
I have always had and still have a very close and loving relationship with my children. They are my world. I mentioned in my discussion that Desmond is away and that I’m here at he and his wife’s home to help mentally, emotionally, and financially. I intend to be here for at least the next two years and Mya is very grateful. My son has gotten involved in a legal matter and was sentenced today. He knows that I will protect his family and that I am here for him.
I don’t want to go into details let’s just say that I am a loving and supporting parent and grandparent. Whenever my children need me I am there for them. This move will allow me and my daughter-in-law to for an even closer relationship and the value of my presence is greatly appreciated. Although I know there will be disagreements and challenges I support my family and we have an opportunity to develop and even more loving relationship.
I know my grandchildren love me being here because they have come accustom to seeing me on a regular basis. They use to visit every weekend and now I’m here full time. We prepare meals together, go shopping, read, and spend a lot of quality time without the television together. Mya and I have begun to build a partnership in raising the children in the household together, the chores, the grocery list, laundry and all else that comes with family and providing children with a happy, joyous, and respectable relationship. Being in a household with two heads may present some challenges and we will look at the matter (s) as they surface and try to meet with the resolution.
Keeping my personal biases out of the relationship assure a healthy, happy and relationship in building a partnership within the family without outside influences.
