My very dear friend, Christine Simard, who has been the sister I never had and a true confidant since 2 July 1997.

My high school English teacher Dave A. Young and my high school journalism teacher Ben Limoli, who both told me that I had "a gift for writing that could not be taught."

Connee of TG Chat, whose patient criticism has took many of my poems to the next level, and who has helped improve my Spanish immensely.

My parents, who gave me the gift of life itself and much, much more.

Everyone one of my readers who feel that their time is justified in reading each of my creations.
