The Women in My Family

As you can see from the photo above, I come from a long line of strong women. They are my inspiration, my goal.

In the photo, I am the 3 year old girl in the front. My sister is the baby. Holding me is my mother, then her mother, then her mother, then her mother! My mom, my Mam-Maw Jim, my Mam-Maw Tillman, and my Great-Great Grandmother Smith.

Amazing.

I often feel I am not worthy of their blood coursing through my body.

Then it pushes me to keep going, to try harder, to never give up.

Just like them.
