To the ladies of my family- grandma, mom, ny aunt, & aloha aunt:

Happy Mother's Day to you all!

Thank you for being the strong women I know you all to be. Women who no matter what time of day would do anything for their husband and children, women who no matter how busy they are will drop anything to care for their family, women who would endure discomfort for the comfort of their families... You continue to inspire me to become the women of patience, love, wisdom, strength, and sacrifice. Each of you have played a significant role in shaping and molding the person I am today. I am continuously learning and in constant awe of the strength you display in your everyday living. I pray and hope for another wonderful and healthy year for you all. I only hope that I can grow to become at least half the woman as you all are. Thanks for being there, loving me, and putting up with my rants and complaints. I know I may not been the best granddaughter, daughter, and even niece, but you guys know I love you all from the bottom of my heart, right? Right. God bless you guys, peace and love everywhere!

I love and miss you,
Helen
