I would like to honor the contributions of women to the world. Their accomplishments, as mothers, wives, and professionals in all fields is significant. It amazes me how much woman can accomplish in one day. They are excellent at multitasking, but sometimes, their ability to do that is to their detriment. Often, as mothers and wives, they make themselves last on the list. So, today, I put you first on the list. To the women who contributed to our lives and our family, I am so grateful. I admire them for their durability, for the their ability to make a meal out of very little, for sacrificing their own needs to make sure our needs were met and for their courage. To all the women who are on fire, burn on!
