I just wanted to extend a sincere thank you to all of the gentleman and providers that I have had interaction with over the years. As my retirement date looms ahead of me I find myself wanting to say so many things to you all.
Thank you ladies for being there to protect me, be a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to bend on occasion.
To the men:
Thank you for allowing me to provide for my children, thank you for giving me the means to put myself through school, thank you for the crazy fun times.
I know you guys don't always think of it as, well, I helped this lady pay for her food, her children's clothes, the day care, the education, the car payment, electric bill, but as a community you pulled together and paved the way for me to be self sufficient and have a future. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had, and I hope there are many others that will get the same chance to deliberately change the course of their lives with your help.
I am scared to close this chapter of my life but quite excited for what lays in front of me, I wish you all the best!
