Heroes:
My mom, who is an extremely strong, immensely caring, independent, courageous, impeccably resilient individual and the most amazing woman that I have known, presently know, and ever will know! She has lived through the Tiananmin Square Massacre, the bloodiest coup in Manila, the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, and the bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi. She has worked 15 hour days without a blink of an eye for the past 23 years and comes home for the second shift to care for two babies. She is a true force to be reckoned with!!!! And she does not even realize her own worth. (AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW. . .choke choke, tear tear) I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!
And thank you Dad for showing me what I never want to become...
