Of course there are the usual thanks to friends, family, grade school teachers and the old family dog.

But right now, I just want to thank BeAGoodMom for everything she does. I am constantly in awe of her non-stop care for me, the kids and everybody she knows.

She literally did all the work and endured all the pain so that we could actually have a family to raise. She’s already doing more than she should just to try to return the house to some semblance of normalcy.

Also, thanks for asking me to marry you all those years ago. The best thing I ever did was say “yes” (and of course ask you to marry me nearly daily for months like a goofy little puppy before you asked me).
