This book is dedicated to my supportive husband Enrique, who has been my rock through thick and thin. He has always been there for me, rooting for me and telling me to go for my goals. His patience, kindness, and commitment to our family have been invaluable. To provide for me, my husband gave up his successful engineering position in the Philippines. He toiled so that we may have a stable home life and give our kids the best start in life. Having to go through life without him is unthinkable. Audrey and Adelaide are my loving kids, and I dedicate this book to them. It is a privilege to be their mother since they bring so much happiness and inspiration into our lives. One of the biggest pleasures of my life has been sharing it with them as they've grown, and I cherish every minute I've had with them.
