What's Left of Me (45 page)

To A.L. Jackson: I look up to you.
 
Thank you for your love and, most importantly, your friendship.

To all the bloggers: Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support, encouragement, and love of reading.
 
I appreciate every single one of you and can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you do!!

 
My parents: Thank you for raising me to be the best person I can be.
 
You always said I could do anything if I put my mind to it.
 
Well, I did!
 
I love you both so much!!

Kurtis, my BIG brother: Here is to your “seeing to believing.”
 
I love you.

To my wonderful husband: You gave this story wings to fly.
 
You were the one who finally gave me that push to sit down and write.
 
You never complained when I was at the computer or when I asked you for advice.
 
You are my other half in every way possible.
 
Thank you for being the best supportive husband and father while I wrote this book.

My two amazing little boys: Maximus, thank you for never letting me forget that I am a mommy, first and foremost.
 
You always came to tell me when it was time to snuggle and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for never letting me miss a second of it.
 
Lexon, you’re too little yet to understand all the time I put into this book, but just know: every laugh, cry, “momma,” and babble, got my attention.
 
Always.
 
You two are the beat of my heart.
 
I love you to the stars and back.

Last but not least, to YOU: How do I put into words the love I feel for you readers?
 
Every message, email, Facebook comment or post, or tweet I receive melts my heart.
 
It was my own passion for reading that made me write Aundrea and Parker’s story.
 
I know all about the never-ending “To Be Read” list, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this story.
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
 
I can only hope you loved it and
felt
it as much as I have.
