A special thank you to my husband, Jason, my stepmom, Anne-Marie, and friends, Kelly and Annie, for being with me while I was in the hospital. More thanks to Denise, Rose, Will, and Becky for taking incredible care of our animals, Hamilton, Magnus and Pearl, as well as our house. Thanks to my dad, Ernest, and Anne-Marie, for hosting Jason and me once I was out of the hospital so I could recover at sea level.
I love you. Remember, your heart is your best friend.
