by John Grogan


  Finally, a big affectionate thank-you to my loving wife, Jenny, and children, Patrick, Conor, and Colleen, for once again allowing me to mine our family experience and their lives for my inspiration. Thank you for your support and understanding and for always being there for me at the start and end of each day. This book is about family, and I am so grateful for mine. I love each of you beyond words.
