Dedication

I dedicate this book and the success of them all to my father (Raymond Spires) & Mother. You gave me life and the ability to strive through any and all struggles, through your failures and success you taught me how to achieve. I am forever indebted and will make you proud.

I dedicate this to everyone who has a story to tell, who just seeks someone to understand the relevance of that story without an opinion. I dedicate this also to those people who are quick to judge without gaining understanding. Hopefully, this is the beginning towards helping to change your perspective.
