Forgetting Read online

  Stephanie DeLamater Phillips- Although we have never met, you have touched my life in such an amazing way. From the radio show introducing me to Mylee YC, to the blog tour, I admire that you use your voice to help others. Thank you for stepping in when I needed you most, and helping me to share this story with the world. Stephanie’s Book Reports folks!

  Brandon Perry- You are such an inspiration with your groups Ollie’s Kids and Good Samaritans, but it’s your work with the Beat It 5k that has impacted me the most. Thank you for introducing me to Dr. Tuohy, and sharing the importance of letting the world know about his work. Together we will get the message out! I love and adore you, thank you for being a part of my story.

  Nick Sabatalo- I must thank Nichele, because she is the one who helped me find you. I was looking for a cover model, and instead I was given a fantastic partner in crime. Your talent and drive was so admirable, and your humor never ceases to catch me off guard. I love how I have been able to watch you grow in your own talent, as you have endlessly encouraged me in mine. You deserve the best.

  Darrick Beekman- I would have never guessed an evening out would have turned into a wonderful friendship by chance encounter. I am honored and blessed you allowed me to use you in my story, now we need to get yours going next. This will happen!

  And last but not least, my family and friends. I cannot list you all, but you know who you are. I could not do this without your encouragement and love. Thank you for reading my stories as I write them, and being patient as I rattle off a million miles an hour. They say you are known by the company you keep, so I must be pretty amazing because I am surrounded by greatness.

  Love always, until next time…
