      This book is dedicated to Brian for all the patience he has demonstrated over the years. We survived several of life’s hard lessons together. His encouragement to write this book is very much appreciated. I personally thank him for supporting me through the hard times and keeping faith in me, especially when I lacked faith in myself. Not many people would have endured my times of inner turmoil.

      Thank you.
