And anything new by ERIN PARKER HALL
Mom and Dad, for teaching me to hold the door open for people, to shake hands and look someone in the eye when talking to them, how important it was to behave like a gentleman, and that no matter what anyone else may tell me, boys do cry.My nieces Lindsey, Patty, Katie & Leslie, and my nephews, Billy, and Shane for being able to survive growing up in these freaky-ass times we live in. Even with the odds against them, they turned out to be the coolest kids in the universe.My Aunt Helen for always telling me the truth about any and everything when nobody else would. For being a survivor in every sense of the word.Most of all for taking care of my mother (her big sister) while she had cancer and died at home. I love Aunt Helen with all my heart.
