Anywhere But Here (34 page)

Acknowledgments

Thank you God that our stories are never over. In the midst of grief, in the darkest moments, through the hardest struggles, You tell us it’s not over. You overcame the world so that we too could overcome this life that is sometimes brutal and harsh and devastating. And thank you for the love and beauty that makes it worth it. Thank you for the parents that taught me to believe in love and for the man out there somewhere that’s going to make the wait worth it. If you could just hurry him along, that would be great! And thank you for the love of the little boy with the bluest eyes and sweetest smile. I also need to give a huge shout out to all you faithful readers who have taken this journey with me. You all are amazing and I hope you’ll stick with me. The adventure isn’t over yet and you’ll get find out what happens down the road with Kellen and Shae in Luke and Cici’s story. Another big thank you to Chris, I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t a part of this process with me, and thank you to everyone else who has provided encouragement and support and incredible feedback. I appreciate you all immensely.
