Thanks to:
Our parents and siblings. Your unwavering love and support mean the world to both of us. No matter how wild it may seem, having family by our side on this amazing adventure is everything.
Our amazing circle of friends. For putting up with us and being there when we need someone to talk to. We don’t know how we got so lucky, or what we would do without you.
Dr. David Kirkham and the entire staff of Cheltenham Veterinary Centre and the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. Where do we even begin? Thank you doesn’t seem like enough. Esther has the best medical team on earth, and you have given us peace of mind in unfathomably scary situations. Thank you for putting up with us and for taking such incredible care of our baby girl.
Caprice Crane. Your sense of humor is unparalleled. We won the lottery when we connected with you, and we will forever be grateful for your help in turning our words into something magical.
Erica Silverman. Our agent, navigator, and friend. You’re another person we will forever wonder how we got lucky enough to know.
Katherine Stopa. Our editor, and one of the biggest reasons this book exists. Thank you for being such an amazing cheerleader, and for making sure our story was told. We’re so thankful to have you in our corner. Team Esther wouldn’t be the same without you.
And to the countless people we have met on this incredible journey. Your messages and comments give us all the motivation we could ever need. No matter how hard it gets, you inspire us to work harder.
This book would not have been possible if it were not for each and every one of you.
