Who had the most influence in who you turned how to be? Encouraged you, gave you good advise, believed in you, etc. Who was a role model, someone you admired and wanted to emulate? What did they teach you?
For me it was my aunt and uncle. Any unconditional love in my life I got from them. My aunt was a lobbyist and a farmers wife, and it was the two of them who made me realize there was a big world out there, and women could do more than be a wife and mother -
I remember running to my uncle one day and telling him there were fairies living down in the ravine. I was about 2 or 3 I guess, and I can still see him taking his cap of and rubbing his head and say "Well for gosh sakes I didnt know that?, My aunt came outside and he called her and said "Mildred did you know we have fairies living down by the creek? I think we had better go down there and have a look. I dont recall that I ever saw a fairy before but I sure wouldnt mind meeting them"
They were so good with children -
