November Days of Thanks Day 6

Day 6  I am thankful for my last name. The Learmans have had their fair share of struggles and arguments in the last couple of years, but at the end of the day I will go to bat for any of them! We love big, we argue big, we support each other big! My aunts, uncles, and cousins have given me great memories and laughs. Even though I often cringe at sharing my last name to strangers, fearing they will recognize my family, I also hold pride in my name.

 My Grandfather and Grandmother have been in this town for forty plus years. They are some of the best people I know and I am proud to be their granddaughter. My Father is one of the most active and hard working men in this community. I am proud to be his daughter. My Mother is a celebrity in the early childhood community and I am proud to be following her footsteps. My uncles grew up in this town- my one uncle is an amazing writer for the Woodstock Independent. I am proud to be his niece. My aunts are givers! I am proud to be the niece of a EBD teacher and nurse. My cousin Amber is so hard working and such a leader at her high school. I am proud to be her cousin! 

Every family has on going drama. Every family has disagreements and low points. But I am thankful to have a big family that surrounds me and lives in the same place. I'll never be able to do anything without it getting back to my parents, but that has made me a better person. 


We may not always like each other or understand each other's choices and actions. But at the end of the day you mess with one Learman you have messed with us all.
