To Mom: my second amazing mom.

When you entered our lives, I was grown with children of my own and so very sure I didn’t need another mom, so we became friends instead. But now…two decades later and forever…you are Mom too. I learn from you. I vent to you. I agree in prayer with you. But most of all, in every good, healthy way, I try to keep up with you.

—Cindy

To my children: Lucy, Caleb, Silas, and Lincoln.

I hope your haven will always be our family. No matter how old or independent you come to be, and when adventures lead us far, remember home is wherever we are.
