Mom---I know you're up there somewhere watchin' over me... Amy---my big sis, thanks for all the times you let me crash at your house, adopting me as your lil sis, and for letting me read every damn psychology book that you have...(let me know when you get a new one!) Chad--- my big brother who always makes me laugh "Mama Sue"--- thanks for seeing that I got proper medical attention when my life was going to hell (without you to take me to the local health center, I might not have made it!)
