“I have had many years to reflect on the man I saw Elvis to truly be, the person I fell in love with. We did not get a chance to spend years together but our time together was most assuredly quality time and try as “some” might, they can never take that away. God knows it, Elvis knows it, I know it and deep down, ” they” know it.
He may not have done the right thing at various times and was in denial regarding some things, but Elvis was a man who had given so much of himself in many ways, through his music… films… he so wanted to please others…and did he get what he deserved? Absolutely not. The kindness and extreme generosity he showed to friends and family, he’d been a caretaker, given to multiple charities, worked hard to have things so as to be able to give things to others because that made him happy,
all documented over the many years, all this has left me extremely baffled as to how some can honestly say they loved Elvis after writing /saying some of the things they did. There were untruths and exaggerations tossed out and how would Elvis truly feel about that? Would he be pleased….doing back flips?? I just don’t get it and never will…” Ginger Alden
In 1945, Elvis Presley was only 10 years old, he was a child of simple dreams but who soon showed his special talent. The boy is standing next to his beloved mother, Gladys Presley, whom Elvis loved and respected throughout his life.
Gladys played an extremely important role in Elvis’s life. Not only was she a devoted mother, who always cared for and protected her son, but she was also the biggest source of encouragement for Elvis in his future musical journey. She believed in her son’s ability from the very beginning, when Elvis was a child passionate about guitar and simple country songs.
In the photo, Elvis is dressed simply, his eyes are innocent but full of confidence and expectation. Beside him, Gladys smiles warmly, full of love. She taught Elvis the values of family, loyalty and gratitude, things he carried with him throughout his illustrious career.
In 1945, Elvis participated in a local singing contest and won second place, despite being only 10 years old. This was probably one of the first milestones that ignited his intense passion for music, and his mother Gladys was always there to support and encourage him.
The relationship between Elvis and his mother was not just a normal mother-son relationship, but a special and deep connection, a great source of inspiration in his life. The image of young Elvis and his mother Gladys will forever symbolize the beginning of a music legend. .
