My deepest appreciation to my wife, Amy, for her support and encouragement for not just this project, but for being my source of inspiration for Life. And to my valued colleagues, especially Bill Kronenberger, the many pediatricians, residents, interns, children and families who have taught me so much about how genuine caring relationships can sustain us through the greatest challenges. Finally, to my co-editor, Kris. you Rock!
