   _You’ve changed the course of my life; I am a better husband, father,
  provider, and person because of you. You even taught me an important lesson
  when you shellacked me in tennis! Above all, thank you for being my friend
  without any expectation. This first book is dedicated to you. (Our next book
  might have to be dedicated to our families or maybe my mother-in-law…)_

   _I know we give each other a hard time a lot and that we almost always joke
  with each other, but on a serious note, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with
  you and am lucky to have met you. I’m looking forward to being a small part of
  you realizing your life-plan dreams!_
