ABOUT MY KIDS

 

Precious Memories!

Chris and son Joshua

Christopher David Tucker  
6/21/69

Cost:  $7.35 (LOL)

My son is the oldest of the two, he's over 30 and I still don't know how he got to be that old.  I'm just 39 myself!! LOL   Chris lives in Albuquerque with his wife Laura, my inherited granddaughter Christina, her baby my great granddaughter Ashlyn, born in January 2003, and my grandson Joshua who  is 1996 years old.

I'm very proud of my son and his family.  I only get to see them maybe twice a year, but I know they're happy where they live.  It's 1500 miles from Kodak to Albuquerque and  we drive it once a year.  Talk about bunions on your butt!!  LOL

Growing up, Chris was always the smallest in his group....but only in stature.  He's always had a lot to offer but for the longest I don't believe he thought so.  At 16, when most kids save to buy a car, Chris worked at a hamburger joint, rode his bike everywhere he went and saved up to buy a computer.  His advocation and vocation remains computers.  Oh, and he is now 6'2" or close to it and about 190 lbs.  His outside  finally caught up to his inside! 

Chris's wife, Laura, is a very special lady.  She had a very demanding job but her job now is much more important.  She has chosen to stay home and manage the family.  She's a loving wife, mother and Grandma as well as a wonderful loving daughter in law.

Angie and her Grandpa

Angela Denise Tucker Bennett

Cost :  $5.37 (LOL)

My daughter is my best friend, second only to her Dad.  Angie and I fought like cats and dogs when she was a teenager.  By the  time she turned 20, I grew up enough to realize that the cleanliness of her room was not a good enough reason to throw a fit.  I also learned something else that changed our lives...the things about Angie that sent me ballistic were the very faults I detested in myself.  Since then, we've both actively worked on our faults together.  We're as close as a mother and daughter could ever be now and for that I'm forever thankful.

Angie's personal story is one that only she can tell.  I will say that she is one of the most thoughtful, caring, wise and intelligent people I know.  She put herself thru college and now works with children with special disciplinary needs...a career that takes guts, wisdom and patience.  If I were not her mother and friend, I'd still go out of my way to get to know her and love her.

Angie married Brian Bennett in 2004.  Brian is a hard working, sensitive and wonderful man, husband and father.  Even though he and Spence are fairly new to the family, it's as if they always belonged.
