The book that every person writes for themselves...the one that they live...the one that is told as their life. We all have a story...some are simply not as well heard as others, unfortunately.
My mom: Both for guiding me through the years of my childhood, and for allowing me to become what I have today of my own accord rather than forcing me into anything more or less...I could ask for no better in a mother..nor could I be worthy of it.My grandma: For being just as much of a mom to me as my own was. For it was the combination of her years of wisdom and experience, as well as my mom's enthusiastic consistency in both learning the trials of parenthood and utilizing their effects, which guided me through most of my upbringing.Lynne: for being the strongest example of advanced intelectual strength, relentless determination, personal composition, self respect, and Moral dignity, in anybody I have ever known....especially in someone of this age and generation. She is, in all ways, "The blossoming flower of a wise old soul" as some would say.Aside from these few, anybody willing - not only to die for - but to LIVE for what they believe in.God: More as the thought of a representational entity of all existence in this universe than otherwise(Somewhat of a Pantheistic observation). Not unlike Nirvana...The highest state of consciousness, in which the soul is freed from all desires and attachments.
