Daniel, for being a wonderful father and giving me the time to finish this book. It cannot be said enough how impossible all of this would be without you by my side. I love you.

V.M, thank you for taking the time to go over the doc, not only in its earlier drafts, but in the final stages when I spiraled into more rewrites. You helped polish this book into a diamond, and I am eternally grateful for the time you put in.
