Inspirational People Who Encouraged Me!

Some of the encouraging people in my life, who have made a significant impact on me!

Below are individual inspirational people who encouraged me throughout my life:

• Jesus Christ (God) for giving me life, and forgiving me of my sins, for giving me instruction from the Bible to know how to deal with problems, for showing me how to live right while I am still here on earth, and how to be saved and live with Him for eternity.
• Diana Greguska (my mom), Inspirational people like my mom who taught me, loved me and encouraged me throughout my life even when I was a problem growing up. She taught me how not to give up, to be strong, how to have a sense of humor to make it through hard times. Mom was an unyielding yet loving, wise lady. She taught me many good things in life, such as how to cook, and influenced me greatly with her love!
• Bill Greguska (my dad) taught me how, to be honest, hardworking, and patient.
• Tom Greguska (my brother) gave me an excellent example to follow in how to think wisely and be disciplined enough to turn the page on things I could not change.
• Pat Giese (my sister) taught me how to accept others the way they are not the way I would like them to be.
• Sherry Tomaszeski (my daughter) made me realize to have more patience and understanding to love her as my mom loved me when I was growing up because she is like me in some ways. There is a special bond between a father and daughter that I believe is true. 
• Chris Wennes (my step-son) who I had the oppertunity to raise from when he was age 4 until 14. I leaned how to be Fair, Firm, and Fun with him, while teaching him about the Lord.
• Joe Bova (my cousin) who shared much laughter with me, taught me to enjoy chess and to have compassion towards others. He taught me how to look for solutions to problems by being proactive while using intelligence, wit, and humor as the primary resources.
