I would like to think that I have had some impact on his life as a mother. Nothing was more important to me then my children. My father also had importance in Brison's life. He probably did not become aware of that until he was older. Brison's stepfather, Tom was also a force in his life. Both played a father role with Brison teaching him responsibility, honesty and work ethic. With their teaching and Brisons drive for independence and developing his own way in life, Brison forged his way to becoming the man he is today.
