Dedication

To all the caregivers writing while
loved ones sleep, 

and laundry piles grow, 

and dirty dishes flood the sink… 

your words matter, 

and your stories need to be told. 

Keep writing!

To my family, for pitching in 

with the aforementioned laundry and dishes 

and a million other things 

so I could write.

And lastly, to my father, 

whose love and support
transcend time and space. 

I did it, Dad!
