To my Heavenly Father who loves all His children and is a loving friend that has never left my side.
To my beloved grandmother, Luz Maria Morel Salcedo, who passed away on November 23, 1996. I love you and will always miss you. Thank you for your unconditional love, which made me the person I am today. Words cannot express all the feelings I have for you, and how much I think of you every day of my life. Until we meet again, my wonderful mother and friend. I love you, I love you, I love you.
To my daughter, Andrea, whom I fell in love with from the first moment I lay my eyes on her. You have been a source of inspiration and power in my life. I will never tire of thanking our Heavenly Father for the wonderful gift He bestowed upon me of letting me be your mother. I hope one day to see you happy and in love with someone like my husband. Someone who is worthy of you that will honor, uphold, uplift, respect and cherish you. I wish to see you smile every day of your life, until my eyes close and I can rest knowing that my beautiful Andrea is still smiling.
To my loving husband, Tony Mack, I am so happy that you are a part of my life with Andrea. You mean everything to me. I love you and you’re the sweetest dream come true in my life. I feel so blessed to be your wife.
A special thanks to the Filión and Mack Families.
And last, but not least, to all women and children who have been affected by domestic violence both directly or indirectly. My heart goes out to you and hope that in some way I can help! I wrote this book in the hopes of putting my life out there as an example and to help. Please know that there are people in this world that care about you deeply and wish for your every happiness. I truly believe everyone deserves and has the right to their individual and family happiness and I hope that you can all attain this.
