Heroes:
My mother....the greatest woman in the world. She does so much and asks for so little. I don't know what I'd do without her.
My Dad...I will never forget you! I was lucky to have you in my life for 10 years. I miss hearing you call me "mija".
My sister...she's been my hero since I was old enough to remember (She's the definition of HARDCORE, my idol 'til the day I die!). I admire her strength, confidence, how genuine she is, and her handling of motherhood. I'm proud to be called "sister" by her...
John....he saved me from myself when myself kept slipping away...I will always be thankful that he came into my life.
