  To the memory of our nephew Daniel Lee Medeiros. We were blessed by God to
  have you in our lives for twenty years.
  
  For my prayer buddy Teresa Farmer, whose laughter brings delight to my life
  and always makes me feel much funnier than I am.
  
  And for my Michael—I would have waited for you forever, darling, but I’m so
  grateful that I didn’t have to.
