I humbly acknowledge these loving spirits who’ve made me who I am today, and without whom I could not, and would not be:

Mary, my everything, and the loss of whom took everything away but this shell.  Her loving spirit and fierceness for living every day inspire me more than anything else to refill this shell with experiences she’d love to share.
Tom is my life-long friend, and fellow traveler down a life path with similar obstacles. His wisdom and attitude to take on those obstacles I cherish and covet a little bit.
Roxy is an artist in whom sensuality and performance are one.  She was the first and is still the brightest of many lighthouse beacons to steer me away from oblivion after losing Mary.
