Sisters

To my mother Norma,

and to my incredibly wonderful fantastic most

fabulous in the entire world loving daughters:

Beatrix, Sam, Victoria, Vanessa, and Zara.

May you always, always, always be there for each

other, with tenderness, compassion, patience, loyalty,

and love. You are each the best gift that I have given

to the others.

And to Simon, Mia, Chiquita, Talulah, Gidget, and

Gracie, the absolutely best, most adorable, and most

beautiful dogs on the planet.

with all my love,

Mom/d.s.
