Dedication and Gratitude

I would like to thank my family and friends for believing in me and for encouraging me to see this adventure through. Thank you Duane for making the book come alive with your illustrations. This book is dedicated to my dad who always told me to BELIEVE. Thank you daddy. Finally, I want to thank GOD for giving me the ideas and words to put down on paper.

Message of Love and Hope

SOMETIMES OUR LIVES CAN BE SCARY AND EVEN A LITTLE CONFUSING: SOME PEOPLE CAN BE CRUEL AND HATEFUL AND EVEN CAN BE SO ABUSING. SO IF YOURE ADOPTED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE, THEY CHOOSE YOU; YOU'RE SPECIAL. THAT'S LOVE AND THAT'S RARE.
