To my brother Tim, who taught me to dream big, persevere, and bring the impossible to fruition.
To my mom, Barbara Ann, whose unending kindness and generosity of spirit influence me positively every day. This book would not have been possible without her help and encouragement. For as many late nights as I've spent mulling over the words in the pages that follow, my mom has spent the same.
And to my dad, Robert James Graham (1944–2005), my best friend and sounding board for the first 30 years of my life. His wisdom continues to guide me. I wish he were here to share the journey.
