Hi, Wow what can I say.

The world is full of truely insirational people we just have to look with our hearts to find them.

Debbie, your words are beautiful. To me you have been my inspiration. The way you have handled your life and brought up those beautful children of yours on your own. YOU have a heart of gold. I love you so very much and I am so glad that you are part of my life. We may not see each other very much but you are always in my heart and thoughts.

My daughter, Mariah thinks so much of her Aunty Debbie, that she thinks of her as her second mum.

i would say my dad and mum are mine, but as i get older and achieve more in life i find that i get inspiration more from my own acheivements , and failures than ever before.

i hope thats not taken as conceit, i just feel that self motivation plays a big part in how far a person can go and even when we are inspired by someone else it is ultimately our own doing when we achieve goals etc.

my inspirational person would be my foster dad... he was there for me when i got married 12 years ago and stood very proud at the aisle and proudly answered yes he would hand me over to mick..  my foster dad was also there  not long after i had my 3 children at the hospital.. But what the most that inspires me about him, is that he has raised 5 kids with family support as a single dad for 3 years now, and never complaint as my foster mum left him for a another bloke.. He is more then my foster dad, he is my Dad, and the best Grandfather to my children...

thanx channy, and yes he inspired me as well to open my home to young children to help care and support them, as some parents struggle or dont have the suport as some of us take for granted sometimes

i would have to say my mum too :)

i wrote a heap about her but when i went to click on send, i realised my connection was offline and it dissapeared!

long story short, she was in a 16 year abbusive relationship with my dad, left him when i was 9, she packed our bags and left him (3 kids)...i watched my mother grow so strong over the years, she started off with nothing at all, dad wouldn't let her have a thing, she had no job (dad worked, mum was a sahm)

now....

she is 42, she is a hotel manager, owns her own home, married to a wonderful stepdad, spends her precious time off from work to see her 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren, and is happier and stronger than ever.
its her strength that inspires me, she could have chosen so many paths to live her life, and she fought to get to where she is now :)

xx channy

shes been invited a few times to talk on radio and has throughout the years been on a few tv shows and newpaper and also the angel network where people come and grant you a wish, typical her just asked if her hubbies crappy car could just be fixed  , they gave her a new car so her wheel chair could fit in it , she was shocked,, shes very humble

this is her page Joanna-maree shes on minti when shes feeling well enough .shes writing her second book it takes time cause shes ill ,you can minti mail her and ill tell her to get on minti when she can xxxxxx and ask her about the book . i know they had the book on display at cambletown dymocs ( gezzz for the life of me i cant spell lol ) but i also know she has them also at home and other books shops ...

wow thats awsome congrads yo must be a special person to them... as far as parenting is concerned i'd have to say samantha is because she is such a cool mum but dont tell her i said that...she hates compliments.  as far as life in general i'd have to say my partner kiall, he always gives without thought...i wanna be like that... i remember once he met a guy at the train station and this bloke had spew all over his shirt from his drunk x girlfriend... kiall had 2 layers of shirt on because it was a cold day and he gave this guy his outside button shirt... shoulda seen how greatful this bloke was it was so great... and logan saw it and said 'daddys nice to that man isnt he?' i tell ya i nearly cried... that might not seem like much but we dont have alot because most of the shifts kiall works are volenteer... so the fact that he just gave this guy the shirt off his back is in my opinion somthing to aspire to... :)'s thanks for this question and giving me the opertunity to share this story about my special man...

if there were more people like that in the world ( i know very cliche but true) what a better place it would be. What an inspiration not only for you but a person for Logan to aspire to be. You are very lucky to have a man like that................ thank you for sharing that, it put a huge smile on my face
