To my parents, who helped make me who I am with all their love and care. They are an amazing blessing to me and I am so grateful for all they have taught me and for sticking with me through thick and thin. Even thought they weren't perfect, they loved me. And first of all to God, who knitted me together in my mother's womb and loves me enough to die for me.
