  • I had fun at the Filipino Fiesta of Sacramento today. It offered me the opportunity to catch up with friends. One individual commented that I deserve to be honored in some way. Whether they were sincere or not, I did not judge. The reality, however is that so many people have helped me to get to where I am. Some are near, some are far away, and some have died. All of us have special ones who loved us into being. Let us take ten seconds to think of the people who have helped us become who we are, those who cared about us and wanted what was best for us in life. Ten seconds. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.
     
    Whomever we have been thinking about, how pleased they must be to know the difference we feel they have made. They are the kind of people that need to be showcased to the world. They encourage and allow us--and potentially many others--to grow and succeed. I can not think of any greater gift.
