My sincerest thanks to:
My beloved husband, Ramiro You’re my calm in the storm, my constant support, and my biggest fan. Thank you for believing in me and this book, even when I didn’t believe in myself. I love you (more than a normal amount).
My precious Jonah Your strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit are a constant source of inspiration. Writing this book for you and with you has been a transformative experience, filled with both challenges and healing. I love you more than words can express (and more than all the snacks in the pantry).
My sweet baby, Adelina You were a tiny passenger for most of this writing journey, but your presence filled my heart with hope and joy. I’m so grateful you’re here to share in this moment. I love you beyond measure (and more than you love scratching your brother’s face).
My loving parents Your unwavering belief in me (no matter what questionable choices I’m making) has shaped me into the person I am today.
My sister, Hannah My first and best friend and forever confidante. Your love, laughter, and support have been constants throughout this journey and in this life. Wow, Dad…Next time just leave the door open. I love you.
My fellow momma, Bette As Jonah’s Grammie and Jason’s mom, you have been a constant in our lives. Your boundless love for Jonah and always standing up for what is right have made such a difference in our lives. Thank you.
My friends — especially Dezyre, Grace, Chelsea, Tina, & Courtney Your friendship is a constant source of strength and comfort. Thank you for always being there to listen, laugh, and lift me up (and sometimes drink wine).
My friend and the best neighbor, Kristin Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to lend a listening ear (or borrow a corg) have meant more than you know.
Jonah’s daddy, Jason You will be forever loved and missed. Hooah!
And above all, God Without your grace, nothing is possible.
