To my mother Norma,
and to my incredibly wonderful fantastic most
fabulous in the entire world loving daughters:
Beatrix, Sam, Victoria, Vanessa, and Zara.
May you always, always, always be there for each
other, with tenderness, compassion, patience, loyalty,
and love. You are each the best gift that I have given
to the others.
And to Simon, Mia, Chiquita, Talulah, Gidget, and
Gracie, the absolutely best, most adorable, and most
beautiful dogs on the planet.
with all my love,
Mom/d.s.
