      Dedication

      I would like to dedicate this book to my late grandfather. A man of many talents and the father figure who made me the person I am today.

      The world is darker,

      The air is colder,

      Now that you are not here.

      I will go on,

      With all that you taught me,

      Without fear.

      You will be missed,

      Each and every day,

      Until we meet again.
