Acknowledgments

My Wife: I am truly grateful to be married to Tracy, who has loved
and supported me for over three decades. I am overwhelmed by
the Love she has poured out, supporting me in this project, which
has consumed my life for nearly two decades. No words can
express the depth of my gratitude, but I will do my best to convey
just a fraction of what resides in my heart.

From the moment we met in High School, my Love for Tracy has
only grown deeper; through the highs and lows, the laughter and
tears, we weathered the storms together and emerged stronger in
our faith. Her kindness, compassion, and loving support have been
my guiding light through life's challenges. I admire the way she
effortlessly balances the many roles in our family. Her dedication,
selflessness, and unwavering commitment to our family inspired me
to be better and to pray often. The memories we have since High
School, from our adventures, big or small, will forever be etched
into the fabric of my being. She accepted me just as I am, flaws and
all. Her Love has taught me the true meaning of acceptance and
forgiveness, seeing me at my best and my worst, and yet, loving
me unconditionally. As I continue this beautiful journey, I promise to
cherish, honor, and protect our Love until the end. Together, I have
faith that Tracy and I will continue to conquer any obstacle and face
any challenge that comes our way.

I thank Tracy daily for always being my loving wife, my forever best
friend, and a devoted mother who taught us God's endless Love. I
am forever grateful to be her partner in this thing we call life. Amen!
