My mom and dad are my foundation. They have given so much love throughout my life that I can say I am so fortunate to always feel secure and loved. They always tell me that I can be anything that I want to be and I am capable to capturing the world in my hands. Our relationship has always been strong and honest because we share everything. I do not have any secrets from my parents, which is not easy for me to say because even though I tried sometimes out of embarrassment they always guided me to the right path of honesty. I have so many memories of my walks to school during elementary years. My mom buying me afternoon snacks and checking my homework. My dad use to ask me and my brother what we learned today. He did that all the way of to college because he always said he wanted to make sure his money and time was serving us well. My parents are just wonderful and they continue to nurture me even as a married women with a child. They are here for me forever in every possible way. My parents also watch my son so me and my husband can complete our schoolwork. They care and they want the best for me and for that I will be forever grateful.
My Partnership with my Husband Foizal
My Husband and I have been married for four years now, we have a wonderful son together. We have had our ups and downs but we always work everything out. He is my life partner and share everything with him. Our relationships has brought me so much joy and love. We encourage each other day by day to achieve everything that we are working towards. He is my support system and I am his. This partnership allows to be able to talk about what is going on in my life and then listen to an opinion that I value to lead me in the right direction. My husband is my confidant and I love him and respect him so much.
My Brother Lennox
We have a relationship that is out of this world. We have lots of love for each other but we can also go at it like crazy. He is the person that keeps me in check if I am heading the wrong way. He does not sugar coat anything and always let me know how he feels straight up. My brother and I are not subtle to each other. We say it as it comes to our mouth. He is also someone that I respect a lot because I have always followed in his footsteps and wanted to be like as I grew up. we are close because it is only the two of us and we are comfortable with who are and what we have become. I am proud to have a brother that is so much into my life that he can keep me grounded.
My son Kaden

He is my pride and joy! He is my new look at life. When you think things can't get better you can watch him play around the house and your world seems at peace. He is my go to person that makes me feel more loved and wanted everyday. He teaches and shows me how strong I need to be when he needs me. This relationship is so special to me because he is counting on me to set the right examples and make his world livable. I hope I can make him proud.


Natasha, you sound like you have a wonderful family. It is great that you and your parents have remained close. Reading your post made me wish I had such a connection with my blood relatives, but I also realized that I have been fortunate to make my own extended family with the same unconditional love and support. Having a secure base really does help us step out into the world with confidence.
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we are sharing another class, although different groups. I look forward to reading your blogs as well as discussion questions. I love the blog you shared about relationships. To me family is the most important relatonship one can have. I am still close with my parents as well. It doesn't matter how old we are we still need our parents. Like you it is just me and my brother, but I"m the oldest. You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing.

Natasha,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are surrounded by amazing people. I also value my relationship with my parents a lot and I look to them when I need help making a decision or am stuck in a rut. I cannot imagine working on a staff with all women! That sounds like a recipe for drama! Your son is beautiful by the way!

Great family reflections and photos! I look forward to working with you again in this course.
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha!
ReplyDeleteJust from the photos alone I can see that you are a very family oriented person and have a close knit family which is good. I love to see photos they really give a wonderful visual aid. I love that you say the children are what keeps you and your co-workers going. And I also like that you mention that your relationships have turned into partnerships. Long-lasting relationships do turn over into partnerships. They become something you can count on. You gave great insight to the meaning of relationships and I enjoyed the photos!
