“To my husband, Chris, my children—Candis, Alex, Lucas, Sacarie, and Victor—and especially my parents (Richard & Geraldine): thank you for your support, wise guidance, and honest feedback throughout this journey. Your belief in me gave me the strength to push forward, and I couldn’t have done it without you.”“To my grandchildren: I hope my journey at 56 reminds you: never stop learning, never give up on your hopes and dreams, and never quit when life gets rough. It’s okay to pause, to catch your breath—but don’t ever stop. Keep going. You’re capable of more than you know.”"To Sacarie, thank you for jumping in with 2 feet as this chapter begins."
