I Am What I Am

I am what I am

I am a baby girl born to Bob and Dixie on a snowy cold December evening in Logan County

I am a Frazier granddaughter from Scotland

I am part Cherokee Indian

I am a school girl in a coal camp walking barefoot, playing Red Rover in the alley until mom whistles for me to come home.

I am a pre-teen going to church. I am sitting on the front pew listening to my parents sing.

I am a high school graduate married and moving to Michigan

I am a young wife away from home, sad and missing my small town

I am a happy expectant mother living in WV again awaiting the arrival of my first born.

I am a mother of two –the perfect family a beautiful dark haired little boy and a tiny blue eyed little daughter.

I am still sitting in that church now with my two children listening to my parents sing.

I am all I ever wanted to be- A wife, and the mother of two precious children who take my breath away.

Now I am devastated, I have lost my son –my heart is broken, that church pew is my comfort and peace but it’s not fair, mothers aren’t suppose to bury their children

 I am what I am I am a mother with a broken heart and a daughter who needs her more than ever

I am what I am and I have to go on I am a teacher, God has given me these children to teach to help me through my darkest days.

I am what I am I have now become a grandmother or “Nana” to three beautiful precious little boys. The oldest who has the eyes, the hair and the mannerisms of my son. God, he takes my breath away

I am who I am I am a mother who is watching her daughter raise three precious little boys and hoping that she never has to experience the heartbreak that I did

 I am what I am I am a daughter, sister, wife, teacher, mother, friend and Nana

 I am what I am I am still sitting in that church pew at Becco United Baptist Church listening to my parents sing with my daughter at my side and those three little boys on my lap.

 I am what I am and I am glad I am me!
