This book is dedicated to my brother, Joel, for all that he has done for so many over the years. I sincerely hope that he will forever be able to enjoy all of the good things that life has to offer. Whether he knows it or not, he has always been a source of inspiration for me and his encouragement has kept me going whenever a challenge was thrown my way. The best brother in the world! Thats my brother, Joel.
