Re: Do you have a role model ?

My father was a wonderful role model for me and all who knew him.

My husband is currently showing me what strength and courage are really all about.

Re: Do you have a role model ?

I think a variety of people shaped my life but I never had a role model per se.

No role model per say but I have admired a few individuals in my life who influenced me one way or another.

Sometimes the best role model is not in being perfect but in how one handles their imperfections.

This is a perfect example of why I like coming here.......perspectives that I have not thought to consider. You are absolutely correct, JIG SAW.

Not really, but I try to make the woman in my mirror a role model for my children.

My grandmothers! Both dealt with very serious situations and kept on going. I admire them tremendously. My regret is that I didn't ask questions when I could, now it's too late.
