To my dear friends, my family so true. Both present and beyond this world, you remain my models of unselfish untiring courage and love. It is impossible to express all that you are for me. Dedicating this book is far too small a thing to do, but it is my gesture. Here’s to you my dear ones. Especially, my Günter, Jameson, Jasmin, Maggie, Sharron, Brome, Shirley, and Pat.
