This book is
dedicated to my daughter, Ashley “Peanut” Marie, and to the bullies in her life
who helped to shape her into the strong, compassionate woman she is today.
I have to
thank the many bullies in my past life for shaping my life as well. You broke me down, you hurt me, but you made
me a better person than you. Thank you
all for showing me that ugliness is not only skin deep and beauty is in the eye
of the beholder.
Kevin, thank you for always loving me no
matter what the scale said or what the size tag on my dress read. You've always made me feel like the most
beautiful woman in the world.
Sharon Hust,
Kathy Schultz, and Mom: thank you for
your invaluable editorial help.
I love my sisters
with all my heart, my Mother and Father, my Stepmother, my Aunt Marilyn, my
Mother–In-law, Stepson, and Brother-in-law.
Thank you all for being in my life.
There are so many more! I don’t
have space to name you all, but you are all special.
Kelly Rea,
Nadine Uttke, Kathy Schultz, and Kris Ochocki:
you know why! XOXO
Lastly, I
can’t leave out the loving memory of my Baracuda who is always in my heart. We would have been a great AAT together. We will meet again Boodies.
