MOTHERHOOD By Charmaine Granger Tyree was born on 27th December 1996, and weighed only six pounds two ounces. He has changed Charmaine's life in a positive way - she can't think of any negatives. Words can't explain the pure, pure love that they have for each other. She wants him to be as strong as her so he can deal with disappointments in life and not give into peer pressure. However, one of the most important things that she wants to teach him is to respect women, which she doesn't believe is taught enough in her society. Perhaps she's asking too much, but he's brought such unspeakable joy into her life.
