Th is handbook is dedicated to my children, Alex and Caroline.

Alex always makes me laugh and he is the best pal I’ve ever had

We think so much alike it seems that we are almost the same guy!

My time with him is treasured

Caroline is the sweetest little person I’ve ever known

She has stolen my heart forever and has made the word “Daddy”

my most cherished title
