Amber J.The G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) of women.My best friend...my ride or die...my love of my life.How we met -- at a conference in San Francisco -- it was all God. From you being in LA to me being in Michigan, the long distance struggle, the trials, God provided a job where we'd close the distance gap the day before our wedding--it was all God. This is actual, true love...in a world full of facades, I'm grateful for your REAL LOVE. One that is long-suffering, one that is pure, one that is genuine.You've stuck by my side through the up's and down's, love, leading all the way to these past few weeks...some of which have been the most difficult of my life...the week leading up to this episode being released ... hearing my Lola died in Michigan...you were with me getting a last minute flight there to honor her life and encouraging/supporting me every step of the way. It is a joy, honor, and privilege to dedicate this episode to lovely Lola. Grateful to God you, AmberJ, were able to meet her and spend quality time with her...and that she was able to see us get married in Long Beach. Lola--the real OG--taking my dad and aunts, uncles from the Philippines to the US a week before Martial Law--talk about bravery...talk about courage...talk about God's timing. She provided a safe haven at their Michigan home for neighborhood kids to escape drugs and alcohol and hunger with her amazing PINOY FOOD…and her and Lolo were married 50+ years—what a wonderful example of marriage — something Amber and I strive for —to have a long-lasting, thriving marriage forever—thank you, Lola, for the marriage advice and for all your love and support. it is an honor to carry on the Lapastora name and we will tell our kids and their kids about your legacy you left and how you paved the way for us to have a better life here.Exzaida Lapastora - 1935 - 2020. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authenticallywithcharlie/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authenticallywithcharlie/support
