who is the most admirable person in your life?

Question

at least 200 words

Answer 1

Both of my parents. Together as one. While they have each individually influenced me at differnt points in my life, together they have made a bigger difference in my life than the sum of their individual influences.

My father is the strong silent type while my mother is the in-your-face type. They balance each other perfectly. Within that balance they have raised nine children, which included two grandchildren. Of myself and the eight siblings I have, only four of us are biologically both of our parents. However, there was never any difference in how we were raised. I was about 10 years old before I learned that my two sisters and my oldest brother had a different father than I have. We all called the man who raised us all Daddy, because that's what he was to all of us without exception and without preference.

My mother never worked outside the home in my lifetime or at any time since marrying my Daddy. Money was tight, but she fed and clothed us all with what little she had left after paying the household bills (gas, water, electricity, mortgage)

Anytime a tough decision had to be made about something one of us wanted to do or had already done, my parents made the decision together. They never let us play one against the other, not that we didn't try, it just never worked. There was ALWAYS a untied front with my parents.

I dread the day that I have to say goodbye to them in this life. They are still, for the past 40 years later, my rock. They will be celebrating their 50th anniversary next year. And the funny thing about that is that they met in January and would have been married before February had there not been a traffic jam coming out of L.A. on their way to Vegas to get married. But they got married on Feb 1st instead.

As you see, my parents are one in purpose.

Answer 2

My mom. Born into a poor family, worked hard to provide a good life for her children. She has her faults, but she is still a strong woman. All her actions carried good intentions, even if they were expressed the wrong way. She never once complained or gave up on life, even when my dad cheated on her. She makes sure she stays strong, keeps herself occupied, and continued playing a big part in our lives. She's experienced a lot for someone who's only 46, and while I am no angel and we've had our fair share of quarrels, she still loves me unconditionally.
This is not 200 words, but sometimes, something like love cannot be explained. I used to dread that I'd be like my mom when I grow up, but now I'm proud to see some parts of her in myself.

Answer 3

i don't think of i ought to admire somebody who ought to dedicate their lives to easily one ingredient. There are already too many inverse cripples in this international to assert that i ought to admire the guy or woman with in basic terms one ingredient on their innovations. possibly if that one ingredient is excellence, or something alongside those lines, then possibly a sort of admiration could spill interior the direction of the cracks. nevertheless, i'm uncertain of such an experience.

Answer 4

It's too early to do 200 words:) My answer is my dog. She doesn't know she isn't a person.

Answer 5

never in 200 words but the answer has got to be my mum

Answer 6

My 79 year old step-father. Actually just about any elderly person. The courage and strength it takes for them just to get through another day of life is admirable enough but to watch him do it with eagerness and humility is over powering.He goes through his day slowly and painfully with little complaining and is always happy to share his wisdom with the younger friends and relatives. you gotta be tough to get old.
