Mum, I dedicate this book to you.
Our life has been tough, but with your
strength,
faith and perseverance, you’ve made incredible things happen for
us.
Regardless of everything that came your way and all the times I’ve let you
down, you’ve shown me nothing but unconditional love. It was this love that
led to the sacrifices that you made, and it was this love that kept me smiling.
You forgave, you hugged,
you laughed, you inspired,
you encouraged, you
healed, and you did everything else in your power to demonstrate that with
love, anything was possible. Which is why I’m
here today, passing on my
love to others, through my words.
And Dad – of course, my existence would not be possible without you.
Although I
never got to know you properly, I’ve always felt your energy
guiding me when I needed it most. I know how much I meant to you when I
was born. I hope you’re proud of me.
Finally, I’d like to dedicate this book to anyone with a dream, whether that’s
a dream just to survive, or to make it through a dark day. It was my dream to
write a book that will positively change lives across the world. If I can make
it happen, so can you. I believe in you – I hope you do, too.
