There is still HOPE
August 15th carries a special meaning—a day of remembrance, gratitude, love, and legacy. In honor of my father, Isaac, and my nephew, Divine, I celebrate two remarkable men who taught me through their lives to challenge myself, stretch beyond my comfort zone, embrace what brings me joy, and hold tightly to the hopes of yesterday while working to make them reality today. Their lives remind me that there is still HOPE as long as you are still alive. Even in all they had to endured they never stopped hoping, doing and just living life. They will forever be an inspiration.
