To my friends, both old and new, thank you for fighting with me. I love you all!
To my wonderful family, I could never express how grateful I am for all of you. The service, encouragement, sacrifice, and love you have given through this time has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. I love you all with all my heart, and am so grateful that we are all sealed together, and will be a family for time and all eternity.
Now, I will single out one person, and I am sure that you all know where I am going with this. Miranda has been the rock that I have built upon. She has been the glue that has held me together. She has been the support when I have fallen (both literally and figuratively), and the crutch when I have begun to walk again. She has been the breadwinner and nurturer. She has been my nurse and caregiver. She didn't plan on this any more than I did. But she passed through it with grace that I have come to expect from a person as wonderful as she. I have heard stories of people diagnosed with cancer that had to also suffer the abandonment of their spouse. Whether or not that was ever a thought to Miranda or not, she never let it show to me. I always knew that someone would be there with me. She truly has been the heroine in this journey. It was for her that I fought, and because of her that I can still fight!

To my sweetheart and companion I say with all the love, admiration, and respect that I possess, "Thank you."
