A Special Thank You:


A special thanks goes out to all my friends for their support and help while I wrote this story. Without you all, I would have lost faith in my ability to continue this story past the first chapter. To those special few, your love and your support is greatly appreciated, and you will forever have my thanks and my love.

I also owe a huge amount of thanks to my many fans who have been with me since the start. Almost daily they have encouraged me to continue with my writing, always telling me how much it means to them. I cannot tell you how touched I am to know that the stories that I write touch you all so deeply in so many different ways.

To Darryl, TSL, and ACFan, I owe you all so much more than you realize. Darryl, you are the father I wished I had growing up. I am proud to call you Dad. TSL, you are like an older brother to me. Always there to give me your support and encouragement, but always not afraid to give me a kick in the rear when I do something foolish. No amount of words can describe how much the both of you mean to me. ACFan, without you, my stories may not have gained as wide an audience as they have. Your generosity and your friendship is valued very much, and I hold everything you've done for me close to my heart.

I love you all, and could never thank you enough!

 

 

 

 

Dedication:


This story I write in loving memory of Oliver Reuter, who passed away years before his time. You were so full of life, and filled mine with so much joy. When I was sad, you were there to comfort me. When I was lonely, you stayed by my side. And though I was too afraid then to let you know, I love you with all my soul. Now when I am sad or lonely, all I have to do is think of you to know that I am never alone. You were my first love. And though you are now gone, I know you watch over me for I can feel your love, the love you gave me all those years ago.
