I would also like to thank my husband. While I am sad that he isn't here with me today, I know that he is working hard in the military. While I know he is proud of me for my achievements, I want him to know that I am equally proud of all he has done for work, and proud of the man he is. He is the best husband I can ask for, and I got extremely lucky to be called his wife.
I also want to thank my family for always pushing me to be the best that I can be, and encouraged me try my hardest no matter how difficult the task may be. While I walk the stage, I will be thinking of the loved ones who are watching from above. My Tia Lidia, whose laugh was contagious, and can put a smile on your face. While I am saddened that she isn't here with me, I hope that I am making her proud. Te amo tía y siempre apreciaré nuestros recuerdos. Esto es para ti!
I would like to thank my grandpa for always being there for me in the hardest of times. My grandpa has been my best friend my entire life, and has done so much for me. I don't know where I would be without his support throughout my entire life. He makes me proud to call him my grandpa, and I hope that I am making him proud. I love you Gramps!
Share the Aloha!
