I dedicate this book with love to my husband, Joe, my life’s companion and helpmate, in gratitude for his constant love, support, and understanding.

And to our beautiful and cherished daughters, Rachel, Rebecca, and Laura, who have brought so much joy and love into our lives.

.....

So all things have meaning and beauty,

in that space beyond time where you are.
