Acknowledgements
I would like to thank all the special help I received to make this publication become a possibility. Without the encouragement of Chaz, WildCondor and the many other people, I do not think I would have even tried to make a book of writings. Without Ann's help with editing, this project would not have gotten off the ground. Ann was terrific to say the least. She offered a steady source of support and encouragement as well.
The book was intended to be a fundraiser for LLMD's who needed extra support during the ordeal of legal battles. It is available now for anyone or any fund-raising activity for Lyme disease. I am grateful to have an opportunity to encourage others to get all the possible help that they can; the patients and families.
A few people read early drafts of the writings and provided encouragement.
Thank you.
The final step was to print, scan and provide access to the book over an Internet site.
I would like to thank Dawn and Don for their support to have the book available. Without this help, I would be overwhelmed with printing costs. Finally, I would like to thank Karen for funding the printing of the few copies I needed to send out.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank all the writers and artists who contributed their work. The title was picked by everyone who made their suggestions.
I would also like to thank my mother who encouraged me to find the strength to get better and for her loving presence in my life. My daughter, who is a constant ray of sunshine. And, to my ex-boyfriend who did try to encourage me the best he could. And, of course, my LLMD and Lymenet who helped me to get well and without their help, of course I wouldn't be writing this. Gigi, thank you for being there for me too!
