Annie Rockermore

My Inspiration.

My inspiration, motivation, my life. Annie Grace Rockemore my hero. Annie Grace my grandmother, she brings joy too to my everyday life. She is there for me when everybody else turns there back on me she still motivates me not to give up. She never gave up on me. My grandmother is 79 years of age and still is living like a Christian. She was born on March 22, 1933; she was raised in Upson County by my deceased great grandparents. Johnny and Mammy Prater. They lived on Wiley Street in Lincoln Park Thomaston, Georgia.

My grandmother was the only child. Mammy Prater and three sisters Ally, Smity and Mary. Annie Rockemore’s hero was her aunt Smity. To my grandmother a hero to her was a person that has went through situations and tests, they want to have strength and wisdom and good understandings.

The most important thing in her life right about now is she wants to be free, wanting to set a good example for her children and grandchildren. Annie Grace has four children three girls and one boy, Balien Henderson, Bobby Rockemore, Jackie Prater, and Pamela Bentley. She was married too Billy Rockemore, but he died 27 years ago.  I never was able to meet him.

My grandmother raised almost all her grandchildren. When I was little I lived with my grandmother Chantz Rockemore, Jakel Jordan, and I all lived with her at the same time. In her house it’s not many bedroom only two and she made room for all of us. We all ate and we all were clothed. It’s a blessing too have grandmothers like her. I don’t call her grandmother I call her (Bigmama). I remember every day when Chantz and I were in pre-k, she would pick us up every day and go too Pizza Hut and order my pizza then go to Subway and get Chantz his sub. That was our day after school. We went too A.J mini School in Thomaston, Georgia. Until this day we still talk on the phone every day. I thank God that he bless me with a grandmother like Annie Grace Rockemore.

 To conclude I am thankful to have her apart of my life, and she will continue. Until death do us part. No man could separate us. Annie is my heart if no one else is there I can count on her. I pray that God does not take her away for me. I have no clue what this world be like if she was gone. I would have no world. Grandmother are a blessing!
