My Dad, I can still hear him 'Och wee Heather, make sure your vest is in your breeches' & I would walk off to school giggling, cos my vest was still in my bedroom ;) He always made me laugh, though I don't think he meant to.Very strict but a fair man and full of memories & information, which he passed onto me thankfully. Hev x

Lots of people, ,those I worked with,those I come into contact with,,,family,,I've taken something from each of them,,

Definately my Dad and my Mum they taught me to be independant and speak as you find, down to earth people salt of the earth even, never forget where i come from never, Lilxx

My Dad.
I love his level headedness and (outwardly) calm approach to life and the fact that he has and always will listen to me for hours on end, whatever I'm rambling on about!! He has that particular skill which enables him to appear interested, whether or not he really is!!
When I found an interest in art at a young age, he encouraged me (and still does) every step of the way to develop my skill and help me to use it throughout my life.
He taught me good manners, and to be independent.


My OH.
Who I wish I had met years earlier than i did. I love his ease with people and social situations, which I've found encouraging as I have a tendency to be shy and awkward with people at first. I love his great sense of humour and the way in which he can make me laugh at myself when I'm going through a serious patch!! And I admire his drive and determination and the sheer passion he has for his job, which I am encouraged by, as at times, I can be a bit of a lazy one!!

I thinks it would have to be one of my aunty's --who's also my godmother-- shes the first person i tell things to before ANYONE else. She even knew i was pregnant with my children before OH did..lol. But if i had to choose who has helped me the most i would have to say my young children because if they hadn't come about i dont know what state id be in now..they saved me with out even knowing it XX

my dads been my biggest influence.he never once let me down as a parent,and was a hero in ww2,like all those who fought .he worked hard all his life to give us a good life.i cant think of one negatve thing to say about him.....only that i miss him so very much.xxxxx
