For all the times you said “Mom, we understand” , “Mom, it’s okay”, and just really showing I’m not alone in this “lone” journey, Thank you my Angels. I pray you make better choices in life.

I put in so much work because I want to make a difference in the world, but above all I want you to have a good legacy you can be proud to identify with when you grow up and choose your life path.

I want you to know Mommy isn’t perfect, but she rose above her dysfunctional background and life challenges to build something worthwhile and add value to humanity.

You both are the highlight of my existence as a human being, for all the times I have been rejected, humiliated and turned down, having you in my life has changed how I see myself.

Because of you my girls, I wake up everyday and I have that innate belief that it’s going to be a good day.

Dear Mom, you made the right choice bringing me to the world against all odds and I love you with every fiber of my being. Thanks for not giving up on me.

Thank you Jesus, for this, that and everything. This is a challenge to do more, and I pray to keep being a loyal vessel.
