Dedication

I want to dedicate this book to my amazing husband, Bernie. From the moment I met him I knew he would always have my back. We are partners with everything we do and I have learned that if we utilize our strengths rather than worry about our weaknesses we will always find a way to get through (especially in the hard times). He is my partner and my best friend.
